These muscle building tips are the best ones I use, and will get you well on your way to that ripped body you want!
Join a gymnasium that you are totally satisfied with.
Proper warm up is necessary. It is very important that you do your warm ups just before you start. Stretching exercises gets your blood in the muscles, ready to work.
Try Get motivated! Find a gym-buddy who is motivated enough to train hard and shares similar goals. You can remind each other of the workout plans you have made, and keep each other focused. It is more fun to go with a friend than to go all by yourself!
Use only reputable training guides like “No Nonsense Muscle Building“. It is essential for getting best results. The right information helps in achieving your goals.
Super setting. Superset muscle groups that compliment their oposing muscles, eg triceps & biceps or your chest-back.
Train freeweights, without a machine if possible, for maximum muscle growth. Sitting down on a machine may be easier but they do not give the right incentive for your muscle growth.
Water plays a vital role when your training. Try and stay hydrated during training, it keeps you awake, focused and energized.
During days when you are not working out, get enough of rest for your body to recover from the last training and allow it to grow and rebuild with no stress.
Don’t smoke, or the oxygen in your blood will be insufficient for your muscles to grow in size. You will be more healthy too!
Have you ever heard of a myth about drinking beer before and after your training? Complex carbs will aid you in your training but alcohol and sugar do a reverse. Drink a good sports water designed purely for sports.
Incorporate a variety of reps within each set. As you get comfortable with weights, try some slight variation in your techniques. It helps to shape you up better with well defined muscles.
Use solid gloves, straps or hand ties when training with heavier weights. It helps you to lift more weights and prevents you from injuring your wrists. An injury can keep you out for a long time, so do everything possible to keep injury free!

Your body is a mass of cells that acts with outputs from given inputs. When making the most of the outputs given by the development of our cells in the muscles, we could end up damaging them, thus preventing them from new development. To get the best weight training routines, we must think about how the muscles interact with each other.

With this knowledge, it is important for any body builder to have sufficient knowledge to train themselves. Always make sure that you allow enough time for your muscles to react to the best growth possible. You must also ensure that you do not needlessly slow down your muscle cells from growing to their max.

In order to maximize this, train your target areas in pairs on alternate days, this will allow your muscles to grow to their full capability. Try training your muscles simultaneously on different days. Bear in mind the process of how muscles work (shrink and expand) during the training process. Some common target groups are biceps & triceps, chest pectorals & deltoids, quads & hamstrings etc. Let’s lokk at some examples.

If you train your biceps and triceps on Monday and rest them on Tuesday. Muscles will work and develop as a pair, and coimplement each other as they grow. Biceps and triceps are opposite muscle groups that complement each other. As an example: When doing a amr curl, you expand the triceps (even though it might not feel like it) while contracting the biceps. It is due to the way they loosen and contract in harmony that makes them ideal to train together. For best results, dont train them independently and let them increase in mass in unison. 

We should merge our weight training routines to work separately. Work your non-competitive muscles individually. Merged weight training workouts includes:

  • Biceps and back muscles routine.
  • Triceps (back of arms) chest muscles routine.
  • Calves and quads routine.
  • Dead lifts and hamstrings routine
