If you are a lot like my newsletter subscribers, you may want fast muscle gains, but don't want to spend hours in the gym. If so, you will love what I have to share with you in this article.
Most people simply do not have the time, or the energy to spend hours working out in the gym, day after day. We all have limits on our time due to work, school, college, or raising a family. So that must mean we can't build muscle fast, like all those other guys who can spend the whole day and night in the gym, right. Wrong.
You don't need to workout all day, or every day to build muscle. In fact, you simply can't train too often, or for too long if you want to build maximum, in minimum time. This is great news to time-poor individuals, who still want to build the physique of their dreams.
The fact is that training any more than three times per week, is a sure-fire recipe for grinding your muscle gains to a screeching halt. You need to flat out ignore anyone who tells you that you need to spend hours upon hours working out in the gym to see worthwhile results.
It's the old "quality versus quantity" adage that rings true. It's not how long, or how often, but how hard you workout that counts. You need to search for ways to work smarter, not longer. That way you can count all the hours you've saved, while everyone else is still in the gym.
Looking for ways to make your exercise effective, instead of simply making your workouts longer, and more complicated, is the key to fast muscle gains. You don't need to workout all day if you work out the right way.
First off, make sure you are focusing on increasing the amount of resistance you are using in all of your exercises. By adding weight to the bar each week, you will literally force your muscle to respond and grow.
Secondly, perform each and every repetition in good form, and with a minimum of momentum. Don't heave or throw the weight. Lifting and lowering the weight in a controlled manner, ensures that you stimulate the maximum amount of muscle growth.
And finally, look for ways to keep your workouts intense, but brief. Strive to work hard when you are in the gym, but keep the number of exercises you perform to a minimum. You will find out fast, that you can either workout hard or long, but you can't do both at the same time.
