Five Steps To Lose Fat And Build Muscle Quickly

By Russ Howe


If you are confused as to how to build muscle in the gym, today's post is specifically for you. Seriously, drop everything and read these tips. Because alongside how to lose weight effectively, this is undoubtedly the number one topic we're quizzed on at the gym by customers.

While many people spend their time searching for over complicated, impossible to follow diet and training systems the truth is the basic old-school rules still work best when applied to this type of long-term goal.

1) Diet To Build.

2) Know Your Supplements.

3) Structure Your Workouts To Your Goal.

4) Don't Forget To Rest Up.

5) Sleeping Helps You To Grow.

The five rules are very basic and, strangely, very easily overlooked in favor of needlessly more complicated techniques. Simply put, these are proven to work and have stood the test of time on the gym floor. Rule number one is about diet. That's right, you still need to diet if your goal is adding size and strength.

You're trying to build a physique the right way, after all, and there are two ways to get bigger we all know that.

The first thing you need to be, even before you hit the gym, is to sort out the basics of your eating regime. That's right, getting your diet laid out in stone is more important. Today's video shows how it's done.

People also have a laid back approach when it comes to supplements. They're sold on hype. So many gym users take a protein or another product because they liked the promises on the packaging about what it would do. Take a few seconds to learn the basics on supplements so you can spot a good one from a bad one, otherwise you'll be constantly jumping between products.

When it comes to bodybuilding supplements it pays to stick to the proven basics. Creatine and whey protein, for example, are both proven and side effect free. Get the rest of your nutrients from your diet, don't over rely on pills and potions.

Tip three is about your time in the gym. If you want to get bigger, you need to train bigger. That doesn't necessarily mean longer, either. Stick to the hardcore basic exercises such as Deadlifts and Pull Ups. These multi-joint exercises are spectacular for building up strength and size.

Resting your muscles is very important, too. Most of us get hooked on the feeling of getting results in the gym and don't want to skip days. While that's great, it's actually holding you back. Learn to curb your enthusiasm in exchange for consistent gains.

The same goes for sleep. Too few of us get anywhere near enough and as a result we unknowingly deprive ourselves of results. Growth hormone is released while you sleep, so this is an important time. Pack in eight hours each night and you have this base covered.

People are often shocked to discover that the basics of how to build muscle work fat better than the hyped up complex theories put forward by every other gym user. The same goes for those trying to figure out how to lose weight properly, who often encounter the exact same type of confusion. But that's another post. As for gaining size and strength, these tips simply work.
