Muscle Gain Truth!!!




It seems like everywhere you look these days everyone claims that "their way" is the truth about muscle gain. Well I can honestly say there isn't only 1 solid truth about muscle gain, there are many truth's, and I am here today to reveal the most common truths pertaining to muscle mass gain.
Firstly let me start off with what I think is the most important aspect of any fitness program and it is diet. If you want to know the truth about muscle gain or muscle mass, then you need to start at the truth about your diet. When it comes to diet you will have to alter your eating habits depending on what your goals are. For example, if your goal is to increase muscle mass then you want to be sure that you are consuming more calories than you are burning for the day. Most people would think this is common sense, but believe it or not most people don't even think about diet at all and think that working out alone will get the results they want. This couldn't be further from the truth. Allow me to use an analogy; You get into your car to go to Durban and have a half a tank. This will only get you half of the way. If you were to have a full tank of petrol, it would take you all the way. With muscle mass training this is no different, your food is your fuel. Now of course you can't just eat anything, think of different foods as different grades of petrol. In your case you will want the supreme foods not just the regular, or for the case of this article, the "junk" foods. The key to muscle fitness is having a high protein diet. Protein is what your body uses to grow your muscles. Now if you already have the body you desire and you want to just maintain that level of fitness, then it is okay to eat the same amount of calories as you are burning, and this time around you should still have a high protein diet, but also throw in more carbs.
Although diet it is the number 1 truth about muscle gain, I do not want to spend too much of this article on that topic as there are other truths about muscle gain that I need to cover as well. Another truth that seems to be overlooked is the consistency factor. When it comes to you wanting to shape in to a lean, mean fighting machine, you will not get that way by working out for weeks at a time then stopping, then not eating right, then going to a different routine because you didn't get the results you wanted from the previous one. No, No, No. consistency is key. Come up with a demanding workout routine that will always have your muscles working and stick with it. Week in and week out. Depending on the demand level you should start feeling a change after a few weeks. You may not see the change but you will definitely feel it. After a solid 3 months of following the routine then you should see the change.
Now I will explain one last truth about muscle gain. The fact of the matter is muscles will only grow while they are at rest. They are part of the human body and will act like the human body. The human only grows overnight while you are at rest, so it only makes sense that your muscles will grow while they are at rest. That being said, you should be cautious not to overwork your muscles. You should try not to work out the same muscle group no more than twice a week. Some may say twice a week may actually be pushing it depending on the demand of the workouts you are doing. Also be sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night. You should try for 8 - 9 hours of sleep, but 7 is the minimum.
This list of truths is by far not the only truths but they are likely the most important. So do follow these truths and keep them in the back of your head for your own reference when you are trying to put on that lean muscle.
