Muscle Building Techniques For Massive Growth

Lifting. Repetitions. Sets. Diet. Nutrition. The list goes on forever. The fact of the matter is that you can never have enough information when it comes to building muscle. Here are some tested, tried, and proven muscle building techniques and strategies for massive growth.

Muscle Building Technique #1

Do your compound lifts first. Compound lifts use multiple joints and muscle groups to move the weight. So what does that mean? You can move more weight. A few examples of compound lifts are bench press, overhead shoulder press, squats, deadlifts, rows, and dips. Not always are you going to want to do a taxing set of squats after completing leg press, lunges, and hamstring curls. Do the big lifts when you have the most energy... first thing in your workout.

Muscle Building Technique #2

Warm up before your sets. When it comes to warming up, there is no "set in stone" way to do it. Go by what feels comfortable for you. Have you ever noticed that runners will always warm up in different ways. It is because they do what they feel comfortable doing. Keep this in mind when warming up. You want to use the least amount of sets, repetitions, and effort to get the job done. The more efficient your warm up is, the more efficient your workout will be.

Muscle Building Technique #3

Train complementary bodyparts together. An example of this would be to train back and biceps together which are both pulling muscles. With this situation, you can give your biceps a longer time to recover than if you trained your back and biceps on 2 separate days.

Muscle Building Technique #4

Work on Your Weaknesses. Everyone has that muscle group or certain exercise that they avoid like the plague. My advice: Stop avoiding it. Many times lifters will focus on their strengths and by doing that, they completely forget about their weaknesses. Plus, many times you will find out that by doing those exercises you don't prefer, you can actually grow to like them over time. What was once your weakness, has now become your strength!

Muscle building techniques and strategies are important, but you must be aware of the mistakes that you could might be making in the process. I have seen thousands of lifters make the same mistakes over and over again, and that is what stops them from seeing any muscle gains. Avoid the 3 worst muscle building mistakes, and find out what they are at muscle building secrets.
