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!
