You are a man on a mission. At least it sounds cool when you describe it that way. You are in the zone to add new muscle to your frame, and you are okay if a little fat makes its way into the journey as well. You’ve always had a fairly quick metabolism, and you know you will be able to shed the fat when the time comes for that. In the meantime, you are lifting, eating, sleeping, and not doing much else. As you look to add more muscle and put some pounds on that weekly scale reading, you may want to re-think some activities you’re currently engaged in, and see if you can adjust them to make your gains even more fruitful. Here are some keys to consider when you’re developing your own ideal bulking system.

Compound Movements

You need to slightly adjust whatever routine you’re currently using for training days. Remove one isolation movement, and add one compound movement, to each of your body part sessions. It’s that simple to make your larger muscles work harder, which will lead to new muscle growth.

Two-a-day

You may find better gains by splitting your workout sessions into two very short, very intense sessions, into one drawn-out marathon in the gym. Your morning trip to the gym can consist of your heavy compound movements requiring major machines. After 45 minutes training, head home for a shake, shower, lunch, and then a nap. Wake up and return to the garage of your home, where you can keep a small weight set and a few sets of dumbbells. These will afford you the option of completing some biceps, triceps, forearms, calf, trap, and shoulder training without having to take another trip to the gym.

Evaluate your Extra-Curricular Activity

Do you like to go out to the club and pick up girls once a week? Do you enjoy a Sunday hike in the trail near your house? These things are all great for the spirit and may help you to maintain your sanity in a very crazy world. However, they also tend to burn up calories that you could be using for new muscle growth, and central nervous system resources that could be of better use to muscle recovery from your last workout. If you want to have a well-balanced life, keep the enjoyable activities. However, if you want to add as much muscle mass as humanly possible, you always reserve the option to put these things on hold for a few months to conserve these precious calories and recovery resources.

AAS

If you began your weightlifting journey at 115 pounds in your mid-twenties, and you have managed to add 60 pounds to your frame, you have completed an amazing feat. However, if your goal is to compete with the big boys in the 220+ pound division, you are going to have to take it to the next level, which may involve anabolic steroids. Weigh all your options carefully and arrive at a well-informed decision.
