BUILD BIG MUSCLE

                               BIG MUSCLE      


Build big muscles is what every aspiring bodybuilder wants to know.

As ever, the question is not as easy as it

sounds, and the program used needs to be tailored to the individual.

There are basic principles common to

everyone, however, and in this article we show you how to build big

muscles.

1

Very few people nowadays have the kind of profession
which will develop muscle bulk naturally. Muscle

building is something which you are going to have to make a

special effort to achieve. This will involve a

consistent weight training program. Resistance is the only method

which can build up muscles if applied

consistently. Although resistance training sounds like it will be

difficult, and take a lot of time out of your busy

life, you will soon reach the stage where you are working out without

even needing to think about it.

Don’t stop challenging yourself. When you start with weight training,

you will probably find that you are

making quick progress. Muscle fibers which were dormant are now

active. There is a tendency to them

become complacent, and stay at the level you have reached. The main problem is not increasing the weight

being lifted, and not increasing the strain on the body. As the body adjusts to the weight being lifted, you will

need to increase the weight to keep enjoying muscle gain.

The most easy to understand, yet important fundamental of learning to build big muscles is to lift heavy

weights with low reps. That is not to say lighter weights and more reps aren’t beneficial, but in this case the

benefit is more one of improving muscle tone and definition. Don’t fall into the trap of so many bodybuilders

who end up working harder to pull off extra reps, not realising that this will be of no real value to them.

When you are ready, expand your programme. Once you have reached a certain level of development, you

will find that doing the same old routine again will not yield great results. Many people become frustrated

with trying to build big muscles. Parts of muscles gain strength, and seem to almost resist further training.

Vary your routine, and you will get over this hurdle. Have more than one routine, and rotate them every few

weeks.
