Gain Pounds Of Muscle

Admit it, there are times when you look in front of the mirror and wish you had more muscles, but you’re at a complete loss about how to do it. To answer your question, gaining muscles will require you to do a number of things. We’ll elaborate more later.
Just remember that in order to gain pounds of muscle you have to become mentally disciplined in your head before you begin. Having already experienced your weight loss or muscle gain in your head is critical because your thoughts become reality
First of all you must ask yourself: exactly how much muscle do I want to gain? One thing you should realize is that this is not an ego-booster, meaning, if you’re only doing this for your self confidence, then you might as well stop now since it won’t do you any good. At first you might question what I say but believe me that this is true. True self worth comes from within, no matter what you look like.
Now, if your aim is to build muscles for other reasons such as sports or a requirement of your job, then you will have to first think about how much muscle you want. To be strong, you have to increase your strength, obviously. To make the program a success, you’re going to need discipline. Ideally, you should be able to pinpoint exactly what you want and how you will go about getting them.
Make sure that you workout at least four times a week and never skip for even one day. Bear in mind that anything you can do today depends on what you did the last time. Hence, don’t go easy on the weights, skipping a day is not allowed and neither is cheating. A single machine is not enough for one body part, so try to use at least 3 machines. Personally, I workout two body parts everyday. All in all, that means I’m doing 6 different exercises. In a day, that could mean 3 chest exercises and another three for the back.
By the way, if you really want the best workout program that will work for your body type, I highly suggest you read my Jason Ferruggia Workout Review.
When working out, what you should do is keep reps at a minimum but use heavy weights. With this, you will want to do a minimum of 4 and max of 6 reps. On your last rep, you shouldn’t even be able to do it yourself. On the last rep, you should be struggling just to complete the set.
Now get up up and pay a little visit to the gym!
