How To Build Lean Muscle - The Right Way

ByChristopher J Blackwell

Every man desires to know how to build lean muscle fast. But there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Plenty of the weight training methods and muscle building diet guys are using are not as effective as they think. So today we'll look at the most effective way for building lean muscle mass. You need to do some type of exercise with intensity in order to stimulate your body in to building lean muscle mass. You do this by strength training.

There is plenty of ways to do strength training. I recommend you start out with bodyweight exercises then move onto free weight exercises. Strength train to build lean body mass. Work the major muscle groups, including the quadriceps (thighs), hamstrings, glutes (rear finish), back, chest, shoulders, arms and abdominals. You can increase the strength of a positive part of your body, but unless you shed the general excess body fat, you won't be able to see the definition.

Lift weights on a process basis. Lifting weights on a regular basis can help you burn calories and fat and in turn, build lean muscle mass. With plain exercise, you either won't be able to build the muscle you need or it will take some time to build your lean muscle. It is recommended that you take 3-4 days per week and 30-40 minutes each of those days and perform various weight training activities. You ought to see ends in 3-4 weeks (depending on who you are). This will help your objective of gaining LEAN muscle mass. The key is to do cardio a tiny differently than you might be used to.

In lieu of doing long distance, steady-state aerobics (like running on the treadmill for 45 minutes to an hour) you ought to adopt cardio activities that are anaerobic in nature which means you do intense bursts of activity, followed by periods of longer active rest. An example would be sprinting all out at your quickest pace for twenty seconds then walking for up to a minute then sprinting, etc. this is what's known as interval training and the benefits are second to none.

Add protein to your diet. Diets rich in protein can help expedite muscle building. In case you don't include proteins in your diet it can be hard to build lean muscle mass, because the body makes use of protein to bond with various other natural chemicals to aid your cells in the building of lean muscle mass. Foods that are high in protein include: meat, some dairy products, multivitamins and more. What's the best time? For 30 minutes up to four hours after your workouts (both strength training and cardio) is what is called the post workout window of opportunity because the fuel for your body is so depleted from your intense workouts that all of the food you consume in this period goes directly in to your muscle cells.

Avoid excessive fat consumption. The body makes use of fat naturally for energy. However, fat in excess can delay the building of lean muscle mass. Basically staying away from junk foods, fast food, fried foods, processed foods, and foods with trans fats or hydrogenated fats can help in any diet.
