Muscle Building FAQ – 4
Muscle And Fitness FAQ
How much protein do I need?
Not as much as you think but certainly more than the average Joe or Jane. 1.14 grams of protein per pound of body weight is a good guide, though lean body weight should be taken into consideration for a more accurate figure and not total body weight.
How should I take my creatine?
Some people say that creating loading is unnecessary but I like to load creatine 20grams 4 x 5gs daily for 5 days then 5g after training for about 8 weeks.
How can I get motivated to get to the gym?
You’re the only person that can make you go to the gym, but bear in mind that the thought of going to gym is much worst than the actual application of going to the gym, once your at the gym you’re fine and once you finish a great workout you’re glad that you went. Just go ahead and go to the gym regardless of what you think at the time.
How do I stay motivated?
You can stay motivated by writing down everything you do at the gym. Write down your sets reps and weight used so you can see how much progress you are making. You can also change your routine every so often to avoid staleness and keep motivation high. It’s also a very good idea yo have training goals and strive towards those goals, and when you reach them you need to set more goals.
Will smoking affect my muscle gains?
Yes it will. Smoking will slow down your progress and keep you from reaching your goals. It’s also bad for your health, but you knew that already. I suggest that you try some quit smoking techniques until you find one that works for you.
Can I workout with a hangover?
You certainly can but don’t expect to perform at 100% level and don’t mark it as a great workout. You should stay away from the gym if you’re not feeling 100% from a hangover or from a cold or flu. Imagined laziness is different, you should ignore that and get to the gym.
Should I bring a notepad to the gym?
Yes. You need to track your progress so that you know what is working and what’s not. Tracking everything is also a great motivator.
How can I shock my muscles into new growth?
By changing your routine or by trying a different training principal like super sets or the pre-exhaust method. You can also shock your muscles by changing the sets or reps and by adjusting the weight accordingly.
How do I prevent stretch marks?
Eat high quality nutritious foods and take a good multivitamin/mineral. Take vitamin C, E and zinc. You could also try a good vitamin e cream if you already have stretch marks. Read more

Some Effective Build Muscle Exercises
1. Weight lifting is one of the oldest and most widely accepted build muscle exercises on the planet. It is an extremely effective way to build muscle if it is done properly. The key to weight lifting effectively is to vary the type of lifting you do and the way you do the lifting. Some experts feel that lifting with more weight for fewer reps is better while others feel that more reps with less weight is more effective. In most cases varying between the two will get the best results because it will allow the muscles to grow while maintaining densely packed muscle fiber.
2. Pushups are another one of the oldest and most widely accepted build muscle exercises. In fact, pushups may very well be the oldest exercise aimed at strength training because it requires absolutely no special equipment. All you need is the floor. Push ups are extremely good at working the biceps, triceps, pectorals, shoulder muscles and upper back muscles. One of the best benefits of pushups is that they work both the primary muscles and the smaller control muscles which connect to the primary muscles. This effectively builds both sets at the same time.
3. Resistance training is another very effective type of strength training exercise. Resistance training is similar in some aspects to weight training but instead of using weights you use some type of resistance device. Many of these devices are little more than handles attached to a heavy duty, highly resistant rubber band. This type of muscle building exercise offers similar results on certain muscles to weight training but without the large, bulky equipment. In many cases resistance training is also able to offer a superior workout to the control muscles surrounding the primary muscles.
4. Running is a great form of muscle building exercise which requires no special equipment. It can be done outside your own house. It works the calves and thigh muscles very effectively. It also has the benefit of offering a cardio vascular workout which helps to improve the strength of your heart and lungs.
Build muscle exercises do not all require special equipment. In fact there are a wide variety of different strength training exercises that require nothing more than your own body. Combining home workouts using some simple strength training exercises which don’t require equipment with a gym workout is a great way to build muscle more rapidly.
In order to staying focused with your muscle building plan, break the main / long term goal in to smaller short term/sub goals. This action will eliminate some boring schedules from your muscle building exercise program.
Reward yourself after completing sub goals. Keep track of each workout you complete successfully. Read more
