Learn What Makes Up a Good Muscle Building Workout Routine

The objective of doing workouts is only one: stimulate muscle growth. Your workout routine isn’t effective if it isn’t doing that one single thing.

There are some concepts that you can incorporate into your workout routine that will increase its effectiveness up to 500% (or more, that number is just the average). It seems unreal, but it’s just a consequence of how inadequately people execute their workout routines.

If you have ever gone through one week when you were trying to build up muscles and you didn’t gain any muscles (or even lost weight), then stop worrying about the specific exercises and start focusing on what makes up a good workout routine.

People tend to think that there are exercises to cut and exercises to grow muscles. That is the first mistake they make. There is nothing such as exercises to grow/cut. Growing is basically stimulating your muscles to grow and cutting is simply decreasing your body fat levels.

I’ve never seen an exercise that didn’t allow you to do both. So, stop thinking that there are specific exercises that will make you grow or that will define your muscles.

You must do something if you want your muscles to grow. Everyone knows they won’t grow by themselves, you need to do something. However, you need to do the right thing. The only way to stimulate muscle growth is by forcing your muscles to make more effort than it is currently making.

I know that it seems obvious, but most people don’t realize it. If you are lifting a given amount of weight for one month and have never changed it, your muscles are used to that. If your muscles are used to a given amount of weight, they won’t be forced to make more effort than what they are currently making.

That way, not being stimulated to grow.

If you don’t evolve by increasing the amount of weight you lift, don’t expect miracles – you won’t grow.

Here is a bonus tip that makes your muscles work to their most during workout time.

Low reps, high reps, fast reps and slow reps

I hear many times people saying: “if you want to grow, go for slow low reps.”. That statement isn’t very good to be used. The fact is: you will grow if you go for slow and low reps, but a lot less than what you could be growing.

Think about it. If you must put your muscles into work, what seems more effective: work more or work less? Obviously working more will result in working more – it’s just obvious to me. For that reason, go for high reps.

Speed is something that I don’t care that much. Basically if I need to go faster in order to perform more reps, then I will. High and fast reps can be way more effective than slow and low reps.
