Muscle Building Tips – To get the maximum benefit from your workouts there are several things that can be done. Some are simple while some are a bit more complicated. Some take place in the gym during your workouts while some take place outside the gym. Here are a few muscle building tips that are sure to help you.

Muscle Building Tips and Your Repetitions

Muscle Building Tips and Repetitions – How many reps to do? Many people pre-determine how many reps they will do, perform their repetitions up to a certain number and then stop exercising. Does that make sense? Can your muscle count? Is that certain number magical? A much better approach is to embrace the idea that you are going to “work to failure” meaning you are going to perform reps until your muscles are fully fatigued and you can not continue. Your last rep should be a failed attempt, hence the term failure. What does this do? It involves the maximum number of available muscle fibers and provides a great stimulus to signal the muscles to get stronger.  Stopping short of muscle failure will provide a much lower level of muscle recruitment stimulation.

The muscle building by training to muscle fatigue has been shown through extensive scientific research to be highly effective even though some out date methods suggest other wise. Do yourself a favor and incorporate this into your workouts as it makes a huge difference. This type of high intensity training is hard to perform and you have to push yourself to work this hard. The good news is that you do not need or want to do a lot of this type of training so your workouts are brief but intense. When you first begin doing an exercsie have the mental approach that you are going to do as many proper reps as you can do!

Muscle Building Tips and Water

Muscle Building Tips and Water – Drink adequate water! This may sound simple but it is an important muscle building tip that is often neglected. Many people believe they consume the right amount of water but in reality their body would function better if properly hydrated. Hard exercise can easily begin to dehydrate your body so you want to visit the water fountain often. With proper dehydration the muscles will perform better and be able to contract with more force and greater endurance. Internal organs such as the liver and kidneys will also function better. Muscle tissue is made up of a high percentage of water so during the rest and recovery phase the body will do best if kept well hydrated.  The traditional recommendation is to drink eight glasses of water per day. Some experts suggest more, as much as double this amount. One good idea is simply to drink water before, during and after a hard workout. If you are following a creatine supplementation program then you also want to make sure you are drinking enough water.  Drinking water from a plastic water bottle is NOT recommened for various reasons which you can learn about at the Story of Plastic Water Bottles.

Muscle Building Tips and Breathing

Muscle Building Tips and Breathing – Another area that people often fail to think about involves their breathing. It is easy to take breathing for granted. This leads to many people breathing poorly or even holding their breath at the time that they need oxygen the most – during exercise! The traditional suggestion is to exhale as lift a weight and inhale as you lower it back down slowly. This is very good advice but do not be overly concerned with the exact timing of the breathing. It is not vitaly important if the breathing in and out coincides with the up and down of the weight lifting motion.  What is really important is to make sure you keep breathing deeply and rhythmically s0 do NOT hold your breath.  Also as a general rule it is also important to stay relaxed expect for the muscles that are doing the exercise. Do not tense up excessively as it can reduce the effectivenes of an exercise. It makes no sense to tense extra muscles, perhaps even the entire body, if you are doing bicep curls. Just tense the biceps! Excessive tension takes away from your ability to do the exercise properly.
