Do weights and cardio everyday for an hour, or every second day depending on how fast you want to gain muscle. Beware though, never work out the same muscle groups every day, alternate. For example: Work out your chest one day, then your back the next.&lt;br /&gt;

To gain muscle fast one must have to follow some firm rules and plan. There are various techniques to gain muscles fast. If you hire a coach to gain some muscles without spending years will be a wise decision because you may injure yourself or put your self on a hospital bed because of immense workout in the gym. A fitness expert can guide you the best way of gaining muscles quickly. The basic technique of gaining muscles size is a perfect combination of good food, proper workout and enough rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Food supplements:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some people also adopt food supplements to gain muscle fast. If you are using such supplements with proper guidance of your physician or fitness guide then it is not a bad option but some medicines have after affects. You may gain weight if you quit exercise for a while. Supplements require tough training. There are many costly muscles builder supplements available in the market that reduces your wallet size. Do not go for too much costly supplements just stay with the best and effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Super training:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supplements are not the only solution to gain muscle fast. You must have an effective and proper workout regime. You have to plan out your exercise each day. Building muscles fast is not that complicated and technical as people think. Hard training in less time is required that in other words we call super training. Super training means heavy weight, less reps, few sets less time gap and after that more rest. After doing such training immediate meal or food is required to tone your muscles. Proteins are highly appreciated because they build up your muscle size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resting:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resting is also one of the important things you must do in order to gain muscle fast. If you will rest for at least 8 hours at night it will help you a lot in gaining muscle size. If you are doing workout thrice a week and not lifting that much of weight than it means you are not resting properly. It has been witnessed that people only doing squats, bench press and rows have gained massive muscle size with proper rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diet:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now focusing on diet is another important factor involves in gaining muscles faster. Your fat intake should not be less than 30% in your daily diet. Proteins are also important as 1.3 grams per pound of your body weight. Eat as much proteins as you can. You are required to have 6 to 7 small meals in a day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Follow all the above techniques you can grow or gain muscle fast and have a perfect physique.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6479911843620689872-9002731598781434792?l=www.gainmusclefast.us' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GainMuscleFast/~4/l_E291NgWMM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GainMuscleFast/~3/l_E291NgWMM/how-to-gain-muscle-fast-for-perfect.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wakkaoaka)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.gainmusclefast.us/2009/12/how-to-gain-muscle-fast-for-perfect.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479911843620689872.post-7999046331773158277</guid><pubDate>Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-08T15:31:58.652-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gain muscle fast</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">how to gain muscle fast</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">muscle fast</category><title>Learn How to Gain Muscles At A Faster Rate</title><description>Many people would love to have a perfect body. This desire for the perfect body comes from inspiration from their favorite actors who need to be fit all the time. Though this is good, but actually knowing the good reason behind staying fit will actually help more people to tend to the path of exercising. With this increase, the younger generation expects to gain muscle faster and have a perfect shape to their body. There are few ways that will actually help gain muscle fast&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use of proper form:  For beginners, always perform the exercise rep within the reach of  your capability. Do not over react over your strength capability at  the beginning and become a failure. All you need is to build a  technique to perform with each rep you carry out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mind-muscle connection: Researchers  have surveyed that the mind-muscles connection really help you gain  the required muscles at a faster rate and help you tone up your body  in gym. A visual imagination of the target muscle developing as you  carry out your rep can actually bring confidence and the required  desire to bring it up more. The quantity of mass on the bar does not  affect the muscle. It’s the consequence of the weights that matter  to the muscular power and what you are thereafter. Always stay focused on the exercise you perform best at to gain muscle fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basic Start: Exercises  are to be performed from the basic and with muscle joint exercise  included in the program. These can include the bench press for  chest, barbell row for back, overhead press for shoulders plus squat  for legs. As you are a beginner, the freshness of the muscles will  permit you to lift weights and get into shape easily. Once there has  been a gain in muscle, now concentrate on their growth and the  power. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen to music: Listening to music allows you to concentrate more on the rep you are  performing for an exercise and gain  muscle fast.  Researchers have shown that there has been an increase in the  concentration level while listening to music. You can always carry  your MP3 player to make sure that you concentrate well on the rep  you perform and gain  muscle fast.  Heavy metal outputs can be very effective for those who have an  intense session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forced Rep: Forced  rep is defined as the extension of the set limit while maintaining  intensity beyond the failure limit. When you have reached your set  limit or failure limit, ask your training person to assist you for  the next 2 – 3 reps that you perform. This system has to be  carried out only during the last set of the exercise. This allows  you to create the required stress on the targeted muscle. By  performing this forced rep in the last set will actually burn out  the fat content more than the previous reps due to the stress  created. They also increase the GH levels as well as fat loss.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6479911843620689872-7999046331773158277?l=www.gainmusclefast.us' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GainMuscleFast/~4/VKcH9MZBwa8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GainMuscleFast/~3/VKcH9MZBwa8/learn-how-to-gain-muscles-at-faster.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wakkaoaka)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.gainmusclefast.us/2009/12/learn-how-to-gain-muscles-at-faster.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479911843620689872.post-2404456225640035782</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-08T14:57:02.726-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">how do i gain muscle fast</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gain muscle fast</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">how to gain muscle fast</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">how to</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">how do i</category><title>How Do I Gain Muscle Fast?</title><description>WMC is 15 years old, 6' and 10 stone (140 lbs). He wants to gain 20 pounds of muscle in 3 months before his "girl comes over." This is what I'd do if I were you, W.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, count your blessings. You're young, you're tall, you don't carry a lot of fat, you have a girlfriend, and you have high hopes. Life is good, you're on the right track.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, read the text on all the pages before you to gain cross-sectional insight and understanding. Muy importante.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Third, add more food in two or more meals. High protein, medium carb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suggestions: cottage cheese and fruit, peanut butter on whole wheat with low fat milk, tuna from the can and water, hard boiled eggs, baked potatoes with melted cheese, yogurt with granola, more protein supplements. Get huge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourth, workout 4 days a week to keep yourself happy, to provide plenty of hard work and to allow plenty of rest and repair. Build a routine and follow it with discipline and determination. Don't waiver, don't flounder, don't doubt, don't weaken. Each workout depends on your last one. Each workout depends on the one ahead. This stuff takes courage and builds courage. You've gotta be strong to become strong. Be nice to your mom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, here's a good routine for the next three months. Not too long, not too short, not perfect. You've got a lifetime for "perfect." Again, this is what I would do if I were you, considering you're 15, brand new and have a lot of heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Workout #1:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Warm up superset these:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crunches, 2xmax (40-50)&lt;br /&gt;
Leg raises, 2xmax (20-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gotta build a strong torso, raise the heart rate, warm them bones - begin to focus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bench press (3/4 sets x 8-10 repetitions)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Front delt, cross the chest, tricep - builds upper body power&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bentover row (3/4x8-10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giant back builder - I love this one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Standing barbell curl (3/4x8-10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best big bicep builder - stabilizes upper body&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lying tricep extension (3/4x10-12)&lt;br /&gt;
Tricep thickness - 2/3 of arm size is here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Workout #2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Warmup (same as workout #1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wide grip chins supersetted with bar dips (3/4xmax reps)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Improvise an overhead chinning bar that allows wide grip pullups to the chest. For the dips, place two chairs back to back. Now you                got it. There's a lot to be said about will and invention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Struggle with these free hand exercises. They are serious originals and are extraordinary for lat width and torso density.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squats (3/4x8-10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most important single bodybuilding exercise. Practice, be careful of lower back and knees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiff arm dumbbell pullovers (3/4x10-15)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deep breathing for lungs, ribcage, outstanding lat development. Feels good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Light deadlifts (3/4x12)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Preparation for future heavy back work major comprehensive exercise&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good stuff, W. Two days on, one or two days off and continue on a weekly basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Focus and form are number one. They are hand and glove.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weight used and pace are number two. Increase weight without losing form and without pausing too long between sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On those exercises involving smaller muscle groups, less recovery time is required. 60 seconds sounds right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the big squats, you may take two to three minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This, BTW, is good information for young Joey B, a smart thirteen year old wanting to know "when is a good time to start lifting weights." Now is good, Joe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you know, discouragement is the enemy. With each workout you grow and grow up. Stick to this. This is ambitious, this will work for you two tough guys, and for anyone who is healthy and earnest. There's plenty of time for changes and additions later. Trust me. Exceed the speed limit and you crash.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6479911843620689872-2404456225640035782?l=www.gainmusclefast.us' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GainMuscleFast/~4/I5s-Yco0Q-4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GainMuscleFast/~3/I5s-Yco0Q-4/how-do-i-gain-muscle-fast.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (wakkaoaka)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.gainmusclefast.us/2009/11/how-do-i-gain-muscle-fast.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479911843620689872.post-2392769640854041440</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-24T21:01:46.993-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gain muscle fast</category><title>5 Shortcuts To Gain Muscle Fast</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.bigtimemusclebuilder.net/"&gt; &lt;img align="left" border="0" height="208" src="http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww174/wakkaoaka/b-3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;These days it seems that everything needs to be bigger, faster, and stronger. Going to the extreme is the norm. Everything from extra strength headache pills, to energy drinks, and high speed Internet. Bottom line is that people want change and they want it now!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to bodybuilding things are no different we want results ASAP. The desire to build a better body unites all bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts, but for most of us, the muscle gains come too slow and they never come easy. So we look for shortcuts. Is the secret to fast muscle gains training harder, lifting heavier, eating more, popping this pill, or slugging back the latest hyped up magic muscle drink...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this article we are going to dive into 5 of the most common workout “shortcuts” that people take and pick them apart to find a better plan of action. More often then not the best methods for building a stronger and more muscular physique involve a less extreme approach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Shortcut # 1 – Training More Often&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
A lot of times aspiring bodybuilders think they are not training enough and fall into the more is better mentality. After all more workouts must mean more muscle, Right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is not uncommon to find less experienced (but over enthusiastic) bodybuilders to start spending more and more time in the gym. Daily workouts become the norm and the length of those workouts gradually gets longer and longer. They usually think they are doing themselves good, and sometimes even brag about how they workout “everyday”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Is there a better way?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Your body can only recover and grow so fast. Training a muscle again before you have fully recovered from your previous workout will eventually lead to overtraining. Generally the most you can train a bodypart is twice per week and still recover and grow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are some exceptions to this rule with some abbreviated specialization routines. You should limit yourself to working each bodypart no more then twice per week and taking at least 2 days per week off from weight training entirely as this is a good general guideline to follow for optimal muscle gains. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Shortcut # 2 – Doing More Sets&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Making the transition from a beginner, to intermediate, to an advanced lifter usually involves increasing your workout training volume to some extent. The better shape you are in physically, the higher your work capacity, and the more volume of training you can handle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, a beginner workout may consist of 6 sets per bodypart &lt;i&gt;(i.e. 3 sets of 2 exercises)&lt;/i&gt;. An intermediate workout may consist of 9 sets per bodypart &lt;i&gt;(i.e. 3 sets of 3 exercises)&lt;/i&gt;. And an advanced workout may consist of 12 sets per bodypart &lt;i&gt;(i.e. 3 sets of 4 exercises)&lt;/i&gt;. While this is all good general training advice, it breeds the “more is better” mentality. After all no one wants to be a newbie for long so they jack up the training volume too much, too soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another problem with this train of thought is that if 12 sets per bodypart are good for an advanced lifter, will more sets be even better? How about 15 sets, or 20 sets, and beyond… Will this make me an “extremely advanced lifter”...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Is there a better way?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Generally it takes at least 3 years of training to progress from the beginner, to the intermediate, and on to the advanced levels of training. Once you reach the advanced levels adding more sets and training volume beyond this is often counterproductive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there is no hard set rules for exactly how much training volume you should do, there are some general guidelines that you can follow. 9 sets per workout should be adequate for smaller muscle groups like biceps, triceps, calfs, and abs. And around 12 sets per workout will be enough for larger muscle groups like chest, back, and thighs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you are at the advanced training level the key to more muscle growth is using progressive overload (gradually increasing your weights over time) and by adding variety to your workouts, by changing your exercises. NOT from adding more training volume. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Shortcut # 3 – Training Less Often&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
The world of bodybuilding is full of extremes, for a lot of guys it is either all or none... there is no middle ground. So after learning about the negative impacts of training too often, as outlined above, many bodybuilders make a complete U-turn and go the opposite direction and drastically cut back on their workouts figuring that &lt;i&gt;“less is more”&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some experts have gone over the deep end with the fear of overtraining. Mike Mentzer and his Heavy Duty style workouts were one of the biggest influences of the “less is more” idea. Overall the basic principles of this workout were good because it implemented a solid plan of action, used progressive overload, monitored your progress, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But one major flaw of the system was that if you weren’t making progress with your workouts it was automatically assumed that you were “overtraining”, so your workouts were cut back. Sometimes going to the point of working out once a week or less. In fact there is one popular fitness guru who actually preaches that you only need to workout once every 4 weeks...?!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Is there a better way?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
For some extremely hardgainers training less often &lt;i&gt;(i.e. every second day)&lt;/i&gt; may be the best frequency for muscle gains. But most people will respond well to more frequent workouts &lt;i&gt;(i.e. 2 days on, 1 day off)&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are no hard set in stone rules that work for everyone, but a general guideline of working out 4-5 times per week and training each bodypart twice per week is a good place to start. As you get more experienced you be able to find out exactly what your body responds the best to and customize your workouts to fit your specific needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Shortcut # 4 – Heavy Weights &amp;amp; Low Reps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
One of the basic bodybuilding principles is a bigger muscle is a stronger muscle. So in order to get bigger, you need to get stronger. Progressive overload is the cornerstone of all successful workouts. You need to gradually increase the weights you are lifting over time in order to make progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early phases of a starting a workout program beginners can make fast gains because all training stimulus is new at this stage. And a lot of the initial strength gains come not only from increasing muscle strength, but also from improved lifting technique and better coordination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But once you get past the initial beginners phase, your strength gains come more slowly. When this happens a lot of lifters will simply do fewer reps so they can continue to increase the weights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, if I can lift 100 lbs. for 10 reps, maybe I could drop the reps to 8 and lift 120 lbs., or drop the reps to 6 and lift 140 lbs., etc… While this may work to some degree initially to get you growing again, there comes a point where it can back fire and bring your gains to a screeching halt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Is there a better way?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Lifting heavier weights for lower reps increases your odds of getting an injury such as a muscle tear. When you are doing fewer then 5 reps per set you lose the mind muscle connection. The lift becomes an end in itself and no longer a means for building muscle. Lifting too heavy makes it harder to concentrate on the muscles you are working, your focus switches to simply moving the weight and not getting crushed under a heavy barbell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While you can successfully incorporate low rep training cycles into your workouts from time to time. They shouldn’t be your primary focus. For bodybuilding purposes try to stay within the 6-12 rep range. This is the &lt;i&gt;“sweet spot”&lt;/i&gt; for keeping your muscles under tension long enough to stimulate growth, while still allowing relatively heavy weights to be lifted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Shortcut # 5 – High Intensity Techniques&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
A lot of hardgainers think the key to making faster gains in the gym is to simply work harder. So they increase the intensity of their workouts with various advanced training techniques such as forced reps, super sets, drop sets, and so on... Thinking that the harder they push themselves, the better gains they’ll make. While these guys certainly deserve an A for effort, is pushing past the point of muscular failure really necessary?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Is there a better way?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
One of my favorite training motto’s is &lt;b&gt;“Stimulate, Don’t Annihilate!”&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
For the average drug free lifter using advanced training techniques and pushing yourself to the limit will quickly lead to burnout, overtraining, and possibly injury.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very common mistake that you can witness pretty much any day of the week in the gym is to see a couple of eager young lifters doing bench presses with WAAAYYY too much weight on the bar. One guy will be getting ready to bench while his trusty spotter is standing by ready to assist the lift. After getting psyched up the lifter plops down on the bench and takes the bar from the rack, he manages to struggle up 2-3 reps using piss poor form and every ounce of effort his body can muster. Then he gets his spotter to assist him with an addition 3-5 reps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of the set you wonder who worked the hardest, the guy benching or his buddy pulling the bar off his chest...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a prime example of abusing high intensity techniques. Once you reach failure with an exercise you have stimulated the muscle. Doing more then this is often not only waste of time, but could potentially set you back in your training through risk of injury.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I rarely, if ever, use any type of set extending high intensity techniques like forced reps in my training anymore. I’ve found that they are just not necessary. Doing your sets to positive failure is intense enough to stimulate your muscles to grow. &lt;br /&gt;
Once you reach failure, make note of it in your training journal and then strive to beat what you did for your next workout by either adding an additional 5 lbs. to the bar or doing an extra rep with the same weight. Using progressive overload like this will ensure that you constantly push yourself to make steady strength and muscle gains. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Real Shortcut To Fast Muscle Growth&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Gains in muscle and strength don't come overnight. They take consistency over the long term. By taking things at a manageable pace and making small frequent improvements week after week with your workouts your muscle size will increase faster then you ever thought possible... without having to go to the extremes to get there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Inch by inch life’s a synch... Yard by yard life is hard...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Can you imagine sitting around the dinner table eating bread loaded with butter, foods smothered in rich cream sauces and drinking red wine by the bottle? Well, as a society they do it and what's even more amazing, they have among the lowest incidences of coronary heart disease of any nationality in the western world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There must be something the rest of us are missing here. ParaSlim Force learned the secret and built a potent supplement around that secret so you guys can actually get somewhere with all those exercise reps you have been doing with very little success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not always a matter of eating less and exercising more. You guys know that's true because you still aren't ripped and you have been going at it for a while now. The key to success is you have to "trick" your body into thinking it's starving so it will start eating the fat reserves you have on store. This supplement is formulated around six key ingredients that can accomplish that. You will find that your energy level is immediately up, your metabolic rate will dramatically increase and you will see results within 28 days!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can order a risk-free 14 day trial from the ParaSlim Force website. Take advantage of the other tools they have available as well. There are fat burning meal recipes, an exercise log and a daily journal as well. You don't have to go it alone, but you do have to get going. Just pay shipping and handling and ParaSlim Force will be on its way to you so you can get the boost you've been looking for.&lt;br /&gt;

But if your daily routine doesn't involve challenging your muscles to grow, how do you trigger the muscle-gaining process? It doesn't happen overnight (as any bodybuilder can tell you) but you'll be well on your way to "bulking up" if you follow these steps consistently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Develop a program.&lt;/b&gt; Decide which exercises you'll do on which days. Some exercises focus on a specific muscle (e.g. bicep curl) while other exercises call upon several muscles at once (e.g. squat). The important thing is to make sure each muscle gets a chance to rest for at least a full day before using it again. For example, you can do a full-body weight training routine every other day (with cardio in between, if you want) or you can alternate muscle groups (arms on Monday, legs on Tuesday, upper back and chest on Wednesday, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muscles grow during rest, not during training. If you don't give a muscle adequate time to recover, you'll actually interfere with the muscle gaining process. When you lift weight, you're supposed to stress the muscle to the extent that it breaks down at the cellular level, resulting in increased protein synthesis, which produces thicker muscle fibers. This process begins 2-4 hours after the workout and lasts 24 hours (although some researchers suggest that muscles worked to exhaustion need 36-48 hours to rebuild). If you stress the muscle again before the process is complete, you'll break down the muscle fibers before they've had a chance to rebuild.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To build volume rather than strength, design your program around lots of repetitions (10 to 12), three to five sets, and short (30- to 90-second) rest periods between sets. Athletes looking for power and strength, on the other hand, will favor a program with reps that max out at around six and sets ranging from two to six, with a long rest period (two to five minutes) to promote better recovery between sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Practice good form.&lt;/b&gt; Learn how to do each exercise properly (full extension of movement, proper stance and posture, etc.) or else you'll not only reduce the effectiveness of the movement, but you'll also be increasing the risk of injury. To master each exercise, learn to do it &lt;i&gt;slowly&lt;/i&gt; with light weight. Your form will improve with practice. Even though you might &lt;i&gt;feel&lt;/i&gt; more accomplished when you move quickly, you're depending on momentum to do some of the work for you, instead of your muscles. Do each rep slowly, in a controlled and steady fashion.More advanced lifters are able to benefit to a significant extent through explosive repetitions, but since this also compounds the risk of injury in novice athletes, it is solely recommended for more advanced athletes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Lift to fatigue.&lt;/b&gt; As mentioned earlier, in order to trigger the muscle gaining process, you need to &lt;i&gt;stress&lt;/i&gt; the muscle. By the final rep of your final set, your muscle should be exhausted. That should be the last rep you can do with perfect form. If you start losing form before then because your muscles are too tired, you're using too much weight. If you find that you can add in one or more reps in good form, you need to add on some weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ask someone to "spot" you, so that you can safely push your muscles to the point where they fail. Your spotter can then help you with the weight just enough so that you can complete the motion. Having a spotter for exercises like bench press is normal and expected, so don't be shy to ask someone. And if you can't find a spotter, don't lift to failure on any exercise where a dropped weight could injure you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Change your eating habits.&lt;/b&gt; You can't build muscle unless you give your body the proper building blocks to do so (and stop giving it junk). There are also plenty of supplements which can give you energy and aid in muscle recovery and repair, but remember, they are &lt;i&gt;supplements&lt;/i&gt;, which means they only work &lt;i&gt;in conjunction with&lt;/i&gt; a good, consistently followed exercise regimen and a proper diet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Incorporate complex carbs and protein into your diet. Focus on lean protein like egg whites and low fat yogurt, and whole grain carbs like oatmeal and whole-wheat toast. Avoid sugary, white processed foods; they interfere with your glucose levels and immune system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eat small meals throughout the day. This gives your body a steady supply of fuel to build muscle. Eating in "spurts" (2-3 large meals per day) should be avoided because it hinders muscle growth during the stretches between meals. You should eat 5 to 6 small meals a day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since creatine provides energy, take this supplement about 45 minutes before a workout. Look for products that pair creatine with carbs, as this combination increases the rate at which the creatine is absorbed by your muscles. Consuming creatine with a glass of juice will have the same effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drink sports drinks during your workout. Look for drinks that contain carbs and protein. This combination reduces muscle damage and hastens recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get a carb-loaded drink or snack (1.5g of carbs for each 2.2 lbs that you weigh) within 30 minutes of your workout to stimulate an enzyme that helps the body produce glycogen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a whey protein drink within 30 minutes of your workout to help your body repair and rebuild lean muscle tissue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Change your routine every four to six weeks.&lt;/b&gt; As your body adapts to stress, you'll hit a plateau where the benefits of weight training will begin to diminish. The only way to prevent this from happening is to change things up, such as by increasing weight and changing exercises.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Can I ask you a few questions about gaining muscle fast?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have become a member of a program to gain muscle fast, have you gained about 15-20 pounds of solid muscular weight?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are your best muscle building exercises, such as dead-lifts, squats and bench-presses to name a few, providing you with the satisfaction that the weight you use is heavy enough to gain muscle fast?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you got a tape measure would you see an improvement by a couple of inches or maybe more to your major muscle groups?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are your clothes feeling tighter?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are your family and friends starting to notice your physique more?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do people want to know how you got so big?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you answered "No" to most of those questions, then it's time for you to keep an eye on the big picture instead of the smaller details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not unusual for me to get emails every single day from natural bodybuilders wanting to know how to gain muscle fast. The questions focus on things like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"What do you suggest for targeting my inner chest?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"What should I do to build up my lower biceps?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"My rear deltoids are not as pronounced as my front deltoids. What do you suggest?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;My reply is always the same.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are just getting started and don't have a considerable amount of muscle mass to show quite yet, it's not time for you to worry about these aspects of how to gain muscle fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me explain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should not let your concentration waver from your immediate goals, which it will if you focus on these trivial issues. So, what is the immediate task at hand that requires all your attention?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your job right now is to beef up your physique with as much raw muscle size and strength as humanly possible!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now, you need to avoid unnecessary details like whether your chest is on par with your back or if your triceps match your biceps. Until your body is packed with a significant amount of muscle, these are not things that you should worry about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are still a beginner and have only been training for less than one year, it's not time for you to be obsessing over these details. Instead, you need to think about how to gain muscle fast by focusing on the basic issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you are set up with a sensible and practical weight training schedule, you have to follow through on it religiously. Put every ounce of energy you can muster into upping the weights that you lift on a consistent basis and religiously maintain a training log.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A big part of your efforts should be on working at difficult compound exercises and blasting through the discomfort zones that come up with total commitment and intensity. March yourself into the kitchen and chow down on 5 or 6 balanced muscle building meals-and keep at it every day and every week of every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You need to drink water, get sufficient rest, and take your supplements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You need to create a program that you can follow long term, because there are no temporary fixes to be had. You need to create a program that focuses on the very foundations of how to gain muscle fast first, instead of focusing on the details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the state of mind that you need to adopt to maximize your bodybuilding program. You know that attempting a difficult guitar solo is just silly if you don't even know the basic chord shapes, so why would you even consider fine-tuning your physique until you have a lot of muscle to work with first?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whenever you are working on how to gain muscle fast, you will discover that it's not all that hard to do, but you will need willpower and determination in abundance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't waste your time and energy by over thinking things; just stop focusing on the smaller details of how to gain muscle. All you need to do is get your backside to the gym and train, simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
