The first step in this process is finding out and planning a workout and diet that will work for you, so continue reading for some ideas that you can use. TIP! 30 minutes prior to weight lifting, it is a good idea to have a protein shake. This gives your body the fuel it needs to reach maximum performance.

Do as many sets and repetitions as you can during your training. Do fifteen lifts at the minimum with a break of a minute or less in between. This will enable the lactic acids to flow and stimulate the growth of muscles. Doing this consistently while you train will optimize the amount of muscle built over time.

10 Seconds TIP! Your regular workout routine should always begin and end with stretching. Stretching benefits your muscle building efforts in more than one way.

When performing your exercise routine, avoid the temptation to rush through the exercises. Performing the movements of each exercise slowly will provide better results, even if you have to switch to a lighter weight to do it. Aim to take 20 seconds to complete each rep: 10 seconds for the first half of the rep and 10 seconds for the second half. Combine free weight training with the use of weight-machines in your muscle-building routine. Free weights are generally better for serious bodybuilding.

You need to consume massive amounts of protein when you are building muscle. However, you do not want to exclusively eat high-fat protein sources like eggs and meat. Instead, you can use protein powder in smoothies and shakes to supplement your protein intake . TIP! Stretch well after each workout, so your muscles can repair and grow. If you are under 40 years old, maintain the stretch for at least 30 seconds.

Plyometric exercises are a great way to build muscle. This type of exercise develops the fast-twitch muscle fibers that stimulate muscle growth. Plyometrics incorporate acceleration into your workout. As an example, plyometric push-ups require that you end each rep by pushing hands up and away from the floor as high as possible. Have a snack before and after you exercise. High-protein snacks are great if you are just getting started. As you progress with your muscle building plan, try measuring your protein intake more closely and plan meals with increased attention. TIP! Don’t be tempted into taking steroids. Steroids can dramatically affect the natural hormone production of your body.

Setting rewards can also help you stay with your muscle building goals. As an example, obtaining a massage can not only improve the blood flow to your muscles, it can also aid in recovery on days you take off from working out. Having a healthy body will make you feel your best, and developing lean muscle can help you achieve that goal. Doing both cardio and weight training improves your health much more quickly than focusing on only cardio. Combine these two as much as possible, and you will achieve your goals soon
