Body Building Clues – Tips to aid you in building up muscle

The purpose of this article is to provide you with basic bodybuilding tips that can help you build up muscle and obtain the ripped physique that will make you unique and different from other people. On their own these body building tips will not work but if you can combine as many as possible into your training regime then you will see a massive difference in how quickly you build up muscle and the size of your physique.

 

According to me, the tip of greatest importance is that you must consider 3 key variables when looking to build muscle and become bulky. They are Diet, Training and Recovery. If you include these three variables in the right way, the consistent muscle building and transformation of your body is sure to follow. So with this in mind here are few body building tips you must follow.

 

  1. Make sure you consume Proteins in sufficient quantities.  Target a ratio of 2g of Protein for every kilogram of body weight.  Protein can be obtained from Chicken, Turkey, Eggs, Fish, Nuts and Whey.
  2. Your daily calorie intake must be sufficient for enabling weight gain and muscle growth.  A quick guide is to multiply your bodyweight in pounds by 15.  So for example a 180lb guy should be consuming around 3000 calories a day.
  3. Eat at regular and frequent intervals.  Your muscles will remain pumped and free from a catabolic state if you eat 5-6 meals a day after 2-3 hour intervals.
  4. Focus 80% of your workouts around the big compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, Presses, Pullups, Rows and Dips.
  5. On every set, your aim should be to reach muscular failure.
  6. Work to a plan and record all your workouts so you know exactly how you are doing.
  7. Alter your workouts regularly and try different systems of training.
  8. Stretching your muscles regularly can help avoid injuries.
  9. Aim to sleep at least 8 hours every night.
  10. Completely rest your body for a week after 12-16 weeks of training in order to allow it to recover fully.

 

If you are serious about building up muscle and making your friends green with jealousy, there are many more tips that I could give you. However, as a founding strategy, these elements will ensure that you get started on the correct path and moving in the desired direction.
