Why Guys Struggle To Build Muscle

By Russ Howe


The vast majority of male gym users have asked for tips on how to build muscle at some stage or another. For some reason it's rare to see a man that actually achieves the physique he wants and today we're going to reveal why so many of us get lost in the shuffle.

Walk into any fitness center and you will see the same characters struggling away day after day, month after month to no results. Sure, it's fun to train with weights but ultimately you want results for your efforts, right? Today we'll set you on your way.

What's more, all of today's steps are completely free.

The first thing we'd like to bring to your attention is your diet. It's great having the dream of building your body into a head-turning mountain of muscle and it's good to have the dedication to hit the gym very often, but if you neglect your diet you will not see a positive return on your efforts.

There is so much nonsense and hype out there about nutrition, largely down to the massive range of supplements all competing for your purchase each month, that many people are led to believe it's too confusing to sort out their nutrition plan. It's not, and we're going to show you how to do it today. Are you ready for step one?

It is very easy to work out how many calories per day you need to eat to achieve a certain goal with your body. In terms of building a bigger physique a great method is to take your desired body weight in pounds and multiply by 15.

That daily calorie target is a very achievable and solid ball park figure.

Of course, diet is not the only important thing when it comes to building a better body. Now we'll look at some other contributing factors.

When we think about getting enough sleep we usually presume it could impact our sessions and hold us back in the gym through feeling tired. Believe it or not this isn't the main reason you should try to get your eight hours. When you're in a deep sleep your body releases more growth hormone, allowing you to produce even better results as your muscles recover from the last punishing session. Don't miss this by cutting short your sleep.

We want to take a moment or two to discuss the importance, or rather than un-importance, of bodybuilding supplements. The only supplements you really 'need' to add to your nutrition plan are whey protein and creatine monohydrate. You can go crazy with supplements but the majority of people get lost in the hype and expect their latest product to produce miracle results, which it won't. The key word to remember is supplement, it's there to support your diet plan not replace it.

Keep your list of supplements down to a bare minimum, particularly if you are just starting out. Try to obtain a whey protein and some creatine monohydrate, the two most proven supplements of all time, and you can't go wrong.

The simple points in today's video post will teach you the fundamental basics of how to build muscle and retain it forever. It's time to get started. By the time you're ready for your next gym session you should be equipped with a fountain of new confidence.
