The One Thing You Need To Build Muscle
One of the most important things you can do in your attempts to
build muscle is to have patience. Most people I talk to in the
gym, especially beginners, want to gain muscle overnight.
But the truth is, building muscle only comes from persistent,
hard training. There are no shortcuts and it isn't easy. But if
you stay the course and have patience, you're bound to continue
doing what you need to do in order to gain muscle.
Besides, building muscle is a never-ending process. The most
popular bodybuilders spend years of consistent, dedicated
training before they even consider competing.
The way to make consistent gains is to strive to get better each
workout. Try to get one more rep than you were able to get last
workout.
Or try to add 2.5 pound plates to each side each week. If you do
this, the amount of weight you lift after a few months will be
much more than if you didn't use small, incremental gains.
And the amount of muscle mass that comes with these small
increases will be staggering.
Now, for you to build muscle, you have to follow the essential
principle of progressive overload. Progressive overload means
that you consistently increase the amount of weight you use in
an exercise.
And this takes time. It can't be done overnight, it takes years.
That's why patience is so important when trying to build muscle.
Without it, you're going to give up way too soon.
Muscle gains always follow significant improvements in strength.
So the key to quality muscle mass is to focus on becoming
stronger, particularly in lifts like the bench press, squat and
deadlift.
Young or old, the only way to make big improvements to your
physique is to focus on becoming stronger in these key lifts.
When a
bodybuilder makes steady gains in strength the muscle
mass is sure to follow.
Truly impressive strength doesn't happen by accident. Most of us
have to work at it if the goal is a noticable strength increase.
Many people use the same amount of weight in an exercise for
weeks, months or even years. And they soon realize that after a
certain length of time, the muscle and strength gains just don't
happen.
To keep the gains coming, you have to use progressive overload.
Big gains are made with small steps. You need to keep making
improvements in strength, in very small increments.
Most gyms have one-pound or 2.5 pound weights. These are the
tools of progressive overload and the true secret to massive
strength and muscle mass.
Just imagine, if you manage to add a one-pound weight to each
end of the barbell, every week. After one year of training
you'll be benching 104 more pounds than you were at the
beginning of the year!
And the muscle mass gains that come with this strength increase
will be amazing. And it all happened from a one-pound increase,
performed consistently!
Small persistent gains are the foundation of progressive
overload and the foundation of building muscle.
So have patience when it comes to building muscle and take
small, persistence steps to reach your goals. I can guarantee,
the longer you stick with your training, the more muscular and
stronger you'll be.
