Ok, so you want to build up muscles, you want to look like a Brad Pitt in the movie ‘Troy’ so you can get heaps of attention from the ladies on the beach or too impress your mates. You are ware of the basics of muscle building but you are after something extra to give you that edge to gain even more muscle. Well these tips are here to help you do exactly that!

1) Train for no more than one hour. This is because when you are working out your body releases a hormone called cortisone that helps the body to recover and build up muscle. However unfortunately after 45-60 minutes the body releases a hormone that is very counter active for muscle building. So, you will make very little muscle gains if you keep pumping iron for more than an hour at a time. The bottom line however is to pump iron for around 45-60 minutes and then get out of there and rest.

2) Eat double to build up muscle. The single biggest mistake people make when trying to build up muscle is not getting enough calories. To build up muscles it is essential that you eat more calories than you burn off during the day. If you do not possess these excess calories that you aren’t going to build muscle up no matter how much you train! A good idea is to buy plates and dishes that are twice the size of normal plates. OK, this sounds odd but I guarantee that you will never again forget that you are supposed to be eating more calories to build muscle up.

3) Ingest more protein. Consume protein straight after training and before you retire to sleep. Just after your workouts your muscle are going to be torn and damaged this is when protein is required.Just prior to sleeping is crucial for muscle building as your body is just about to go eight hours with no food so you must get some protein at this time. One gram of protein is required as a minimum for each kilogram of body weight.

These are just three tips and of course there are far more but these deal with some of the most criucial factors you ought to be concernec with. Now go ahead put them into practice and build muscle up with this no nonsense muscle building approach!
