Top 6 Ways To Build Muscle Fast.

I used to workout at couple of Pittsburgh gyms and health clubs. During these years, I had the opportunity to witness several fitness and exercise regimens, training programs and obtain nutritional information.
In this article I would like to summarize my experiences and tips of exercises and training to build muscle muscle quickly.

Tip#1 Aim at progressively increasing weights.
One of the commonest reasons for failure to develop muscle mass consistently is either not to increase weights or to suddenly increase weights more than the threshold. The goal is progressive and reasonable increase in weights over time. The body needs to adapt to the increase in weights.

Tips#2 Variation is the key!
Once you have reached a stage of plateau (reached a point where there is no increase in muscle growth, which is very common), thats when variation becomes even more important. There are innumerable combinations of exercise variations. Variations in speed, grip, reps, sets, rest between sets and reps, variations in stretching, drop sets, super sets, adding quick aerobic workouts between sets etc. All these signal the muscle as a new kind of stress and they trigger tremendous muscle growth. Another kind of variation good to try is stopping short of one or two reps before failure for each set which lets you try other exercises without complete exhaustion. Variations in exercises are one of the smartest and underutilized tools for muscle building.

Tips#3 Combine compound and Isolation exercies
Compound exercises work on more than one group of muscles at a time (ex. bench press). Isolation exercises work on a single muscle for the most part. Compound exercises allows you to add more weight and triggers muscle developing hormones such as testosterone as they involve bulkier muscles (ex. chest, thighs etc). Alternating between compound and isolation exercises in all orders allows excellent variation for the muscles to grow. The recently developed University of Pittsburgh gyms have great exercise equipment with machines that can isolate individual muscles.

Tips#4 Fuel the body appropriately
Take carbohydrates and any isolated whey proteins before, during and after the workout. Make sure you take enough vitamins minerals and fluids. Take appropriate amount of fats as well. Studies have shown the use of Creatine and Nitic Oxide to demonstrate tremendous benefit. During regular hours eat eat and eat frequently in a calculated manner, but in small portions, with enough proteins.

Tip#5 Aerobics and stretching
Aerobics and stretching improves the results exponentially, by not only flushing away the toxics such as lactic acid, but also by fastening the oxygen and nutritional supply to the muscles and also by stretching the taut membranes surrounding the muscle groups allowing more room for the muscle to grow. They also fasten the metabolism and reduce fat deposition tremendously. For muscle building low intensity aerobic is advised. In addition to the above, while taking a gym membership, look for gyms with pools, one of the best ways to relax the muscles during non-work out days. BTW, University of Pittsburgh has a great gym with a pool.

Tips#6 Rest, Sleep and avoid overtraining
Let the exhausted muscle groups rest in between the work out days. Needless to say, sleep is an essential part of the muscles to relax.
And finally if you live in Pittsburgh, they have some great gyms!
