Not too long ago, I was quite confused about the best way to build muscle. If you've spent any time in the gym trying to build a muscular physique, you can probably relate to my frustration. After all, there's so much conflicting advice out there. There are many times that I felt like giving up, but fortunately I discovered some basic truths about muscle building.

For a long time I listened to other guys in the gym who tried to convince me about their methods. However, after a while I realized that they weren't too successful themselves. I mean, why would you listen to someone who didn't have the muscle to prove his knowledge? They seem to think they knew a lot about building muscle just because they used all the right words. They often talked about how great a "pump" they were getting from their workouts, and they did their best to keep up with the latest supplement fads.

One of their biggest mistakes, however, was spending way too much time in the gym. Like many beginners, they assumed that more time in the gym would equal more muscle. As you may know, this is not the smartest approach to weight lifting or bodybuilding. The problem with this is that lifting weights stimulates your muscles to grow, but they don't actually grow until you leave the gym! You have to give your body enough rest to allow the muscles to grow back bigger and stronger. Spending all day at the gym neglects the importance of recovering from your workouts. In addition, you have to make sure that you eat enough calories and protein to build those muscles.

These last two concepts, diet and recovery, are crucial to your success. Despite this, far too many trainees ignore them. Or maybe it's just that they're not aware of how important they are. If that's the case, I want to take a moment to emphasize just how crucial they are. If you're serious about building large amounts of muscle, your commitment does not end when you walk out of the gym. That is only the beginning of your muscle building program. Everything you eat and drink, for one thing, will go a long way towards determining what you look like in a few months time. You can remain the same because you didn't eat enough even though you worked out that the gym. You could also gain a bunch of fat because you decided to eat the wrong foods thinking that all calories are equal. Or you can have a muscular body by sticking to a few basic principles of muscle growth.

The rules for building muscle are actually not too hard to understand. They are simple, but they're not easy. You still have to put in the effort, but the basic principles are simple enough to understand. Because there's so much conflicting information, though, it's best to stick to a proven program that teaches you all aspects of building muscle. Find a program that has proved its worth - a program that has helped build 40 pounds of muscle in under 6 months.
