If you're a guy, you've probably wondered how to build muscle at some point. So why is it that most men never get the results they desire in the gym? Today we'll answer this question for you.

Walk into any fitness center and you will see the same characters struggling away day after day, month after month to no results. Sure, it's fun to train with weights but ultimately you want results for your efforts, right? Today we'll set you on your way.

What's more, all of today's steps are completely free.
Discover how to build muscle with 5 simple rules.


The first thing we'd like to bring to your attention is your diet. It's great having the dream of building your body into a head-turning mountain of muscle and it's good to have the dedication to hit the gym very often, but if you neglect your diet you will not see a positive return on your efforts.

For the most part, however, guys tend to skip straight past that part and believe that building a muscular physique can be achieved by eating whatever they want and lifting weights with their friends. One of the main reasons people put this off is because they think it's harder than it actually is.

If you take the body weight you wish to be (in pounds) and multiply it by fifteen.

That's a solid total calorie intake for a muscle building diet.

Of course, diet is not the only important thing when it comes to building a better body. Now we'll look at some other contributing factors.

When we think about getting enough sleep we usually presume it could impact our sessions and hold us back in the gym through feeling tired. Believe it or not this isn't the main reason you should try to get your eight hours. When you're in a deep sleep your body releases more growth hormone, allowing you to produce even better results as your muscles recover from the last punishing session. Don't miss this by cutting short your sleep.

We want to take a moment or two to discuss the importance, or rather than un-importance, of bodybuilding supplements. The only supplements you really 'need' to add to your nutrition plan are whey protein and creatine monohydrate. You can go crazy with supplements but the majority of people get lost in the hype and expect their latest product to produce miracle results, which it won't. The key word to remember is supplement, it's there to support your diet plan not replace it.

Keep things simple. A whey protein supplement and a creatine monohydrate supplement is all you need to get started and these are the two bodybuilding supplements with by far the most scientific support behind them.

Most personal trainers can spend hours (and cost lots of money) over-explaining how to build muscle but there you have the five most important rules. Today's lesson should get you started nicely on the right track to building the body you aspire to achieve.
