• Do Even Half of Those Muscle Building Programs Work?

  Many muscle building programs are experiments or self discovered by weight lifters, which worked for that specific person who discovered it.

  Why don’t these muscle building programs work for everyone?

  Here are 4 reasons why the programs may not have worked.

  #1: Your Program Isn’t Working Every Muscle

  Have you ever trained on weight lifting machine? They only work one muscle. These machines are a major reason why the programs do not work. They don’t give the ability to develop many muscles together, which would be the best way to train. Free weights let you do compound exercises, letting you build many muscles at once. You will be able to perform squats and dead lifts which will be very beneficial to many muscles. Using free weights allows you to develop stability and also strengthen your joints. They are all around better for you.

  #2: The Program is Not Efficient for the Every Day Person’s Time Constraints

  A program developed by the usual gym rat you would see at the gym working out every time you went there would not be a good fit for someone only having an hour to workout. Your workout does not need to be long and strenuous; rather it should be short and sweet. Using fewer reps and sets with a larger amount of weight can give you the best benefits in a short amount of time.

  #3: You are Not Incorporating Enough Intensity

  Like mentioned before, you need to be using heavy enough weights to work out with. This is the reason why many of the work outs out there don’t work, because they are using 50% of your “1 Rep Max” (1RM). You should be using about 80-85% of your 1RM. Anything below and you are never going to see improvements as your body will eventually become use to the work out and somewhat immune to it. This also calls for adding weight every work out in order to keep improving when you are performing your muscle building programs.

  #4: Get Enough Rest

  During and after work outs, resting is important for your muscles to build. Instead of rushing to your next workout to get done faster, plan in more time and rest longer between exercises. This will give your muscles time to refresh and prepare for your next work out and put less strain on them.

  When you are done with your workout, make some time to rest and take a nap. You just put your body through hard work and now it needs time to cool down and rebuild. At night, make sure you are achieving 8+ hours of sleep, if possible. Relax anytime during the day and make sure to keep a low stress environment, which is best for fast muscle growth.
