How
to Build Muscles: Some Tips and Guidelines
We
all know that muscles are the building blocks of the human body. So
it is a fact that we all have the same number of muscles; however,
you have to accept the fact that when we watch a body builder lifting
some huge weights, then only is the time we become aware of our
muscles.
Whenever
we say about building muscles, the first thing that comes into our
mind is nothing other than exercises. I believe that it should be
done by almost everyone for their own body fitness and sometimes even
to build their muscles. As we are speaking on muscle building,
special focus must be given on some specific kind of weight training
especially applicable for good biceps and triceps.
In
order to increase the size of the muscle, it is essential to stress
the muscles by doing the right kind of exercises. One should use
light weights first and then slowly and gradually move to more
complex and rigid schedule of training because it is necessary to get
the body used to lifting weights gradually as this is the only way to
lower the risk of getting injured. By doing crunches, leg lift and
cardio workouts, one can surely build muscles. Increasing the
difficulty level of training and mixing the right kind of exercises
along with time is a necessity factor. However, increasing the
weights and exercises will also challenge the muscles and help them
to remain active and increase gradually.
One
should also get rid of fat from the body. Fat hinders the muscle
building process and the muscles can’t be visible if there is any
fat in that part of the body. Therefore, the activities like jogging,
cycling, swimming, dancing are always helpful to burn out the fat of
the body and tone the muscles properly. Right kind of food habits
like avoiding colas, fried food, salty food, and eating smaller
dinner are helpful. Restraining from alcohol, late night sleep,
avoiding anxiety is must as in tensed conditions the body release
anxiety hormones, which conserve more fat from the food than what it
conserves in normal condition.
Eating
lean proteins in small intervals is helpful because that maintains
the metabolism at a constant level and breaks the body fat, but don’t
use the body muscle as a fuel to maintain the metabolic rate. Food
should contain high protein value and less sugar level. It is useful
to have protein shakes or sports drink after 30-45 minutes of a
weight-lifting session as this helps to repair and build the weary
muscles. Drinking good quantity of water is also necessary for a
bodybuilder as exercises often produce some toxins inside the body
and to get rid of these toxins 3-4 litres of water is essential to
drain them out. One can incorporate juices, sports drinks and some
other similar drinks to have this approximate quota of fluid.
Taking
proper rest and having enough sleep is the most essential part to
prepare the body and give time for the muscles to repair as this is
the only way in which body can repair them the incorporating muscle
tissues which means an increase in size.
With
all these basic guidelines, building muscles is not that hard thing
as it seems to be. So wake up tomorrow morning and start building
your muscles for a much handsome look!
