6 Tricks To Help Build Muscle.




What if I told you that you could gain more muscle mass with less training.

Let's begin:

1- Go Easy on the Carbs After a Workout:

Carbs are great on your rest days, as they help your body rebuild muscle faster. However, researches have found that you should go easy on the carbs after a workout, as they can slow down the rate of protein breakdown. Instead, opt for a peanut butter sandwich, a sports drink, or a banana.



2-  Eat More Protein:

This may sound obvious, but you’ll be surprised by how many people don’t change their diet (or make an insignificant change) when they start exercising. If you’re trying to pack on muscle, you simply need to consume more protein. Try eating 1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight. Aim for the groceries that are rich in protein – cottage cheese, eggs, milk, nuts, fish and of course, meat.





3- Exercise Your Biggest Muscles:

A good amount of quality sleep is essential if you want to build your muscles faster. Rest improves your growth hormone profile, and allows your muscles to fully recover. It will allow you to train harder and make progress. Some people might need less sleep than others, but generally aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every day.


4- Get More Quality Sleep:

A good amount of quality sleep is essential if you want to build your muscles faster. Rest improves your growth hormone profile, and allows your muscles to fully recover. It will allow you to train harder and make progress. Some people might need less sleep than others, but generally aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every day.



5- Hydrate:

It is common knowledge that you can’t perform at your best, neither physically nor mentally, if your body is dehydrated. In order to perform every set and repetition at your maximum, you have to make sure that you’re well hydrated. Drink adequate amount of water during the day. During a serious workout session opt for a bottle of smart water (water rich with electrolytes), if possible.

6- Minimize Cardio:

If you’re trying to gain muscle, then avoid excessive cardio. Yes, some running every now and then is OK, but don’t overdo it. This is especially important if you are a “hard gainer,” as burning a lot of calories will make it even more difficult to add mass.
