Training is the most important part of the mass building schedule. It might be hard to make time to hit the weights a few days per week, but you need to make the time. It’s okay to attend a party – just stop at the gym for a 45 minute training session and shower before heading out for the evening. You’ll feel and look better for your time out with friends.
Training
Training may be limited to the machines available in your gym. If you’re lucky, however, your gym may offer a wide variety of machines and station to help you with your training. You’ll probably want to schedule your training sessions for weekdays only, leaving your weekends free for other activities. A standard schedule like this should suffice for making gains.

In advanced circles, bodybuilding and health are two terms which are almost inversely related. It’s true that back in the day, health and fitness went hand in hand. And for most people, the two do still hold the two goals in the same regard. Most of us lift weights so that we can get big and strong. We aren’t that concerned with health until years down the road. Competitive bodybuilding, particularly anything regional level and beyond, usually tosses any notion of health and fitness out the window. The diet, training, drugs, and other factors that go into building a champion physique are often counter-productive to the goals of good health. Let’s check out a few examples.
Diet
Let’s face it, getting big requires a lot of calories. Even if you are able to obtain the ...
Do you spend a lot of time in the gym training, but can’t quite seem to find the right training routine to help you gain mass? The problem might not be your effort. Rather, it might involve exercise selection. You should be completing 3 to 5 movements of the compound variety, if you wish to make gains. Keep all sets in the 8 to 12 repetition range, and rest 90 to 150 seconds between sets. Here is a sample mass building routine.
Chest
Incline barbell press
Flat DB presses
Dips
Focus on feeling the movements in the inner chest to minimize the influence of the shoulders and triceps in this movement. Use heavy weight, but not enough that form suffers or your repetition range drops below 8 per set.
Shoulders
Seated military press with DBs
DB side raises
Every other workout, ...Posted in: Training | | Comments (0)
There are various methods you can use in order to build body mass. One such method is through using steroids. However I do not recommend this method because it has two disadvantages. One disadvantage of this method is that you do not get to enjoy the psychological fulfillment of knowing that it is your hard work and determination which made you get good results. This method will not help you develop your character which is usually the case when you train naturally without any enhancement pills. When you train naturally you will be able to acquire virtues such as hard work, patience and determination which are very important for any human being. Such virtues will help you succeed in many areas of your life including your career.
When you take steroids you will also suffer the consequences of its side effects which ...
Body mass is very important especially if you are a professional bodybuilder. You might be wondering why increasing body mass is important. The more mass you have the better your chances in winning the bodybuilding contests. This article will highlight steps you need to follow in order to pack body mass;
1. Focus on the eccentrics
A lot of people tend to neglect the eccentric phase of the lift not aware that it could also create muscle growth. In the eccentric phase your muscles stretches and thus you are able to cause muscle hypertrophy. If you want to overload the muscles you need to seriously emphasize the negative phase of the lift. This will help you achieve a radical growth in muscles.
2. Fish
A bodybuilder seeking to pack in body mass needs to eat plenty of fish. Fish contains omega three fatty acids which ...Posted in: Training | | Comments (0)
Q: My friend works out 6 days a week, and takes one day off. I say he's crazy, but he's been doing it now for 4 months straight. Is one day actually enough for mass building? It's kind of too soon to tell with him because it's only been 4 months and I don't know whether his body is really rebelling against that workload yet or not. He also eats pretty much whatever's available and whatever he wants and isn't too fat. What do you guys think of this?
A: We think your friend is an individual with individual tolerances, so to say that no one or everyone should do one particular thing in the gym would be impossible. It really depends upon how you plan and execute that kind of schedule, and how well you fuel your body, as well as the amount ...Posted in: Q&A | | Comments (0)
