Without a doubt, the most important and popular goal that is entertained by lifters when they enter the gym is, of course, muscle development. But what does that mean, specifically? What is it about new muscle growth that so many people from all walks of life find so darn alluring? Let’s look at some of the outcomes which result from the bodybuilder adding new muscle development.

Fat loss
As you lift weights in the gym, you are expending a great deal of calories. After all, you are breaking a sweat in there. It’s not easy to lift all that heavy iron, and your body uses the sugars (then fats) present in your body to complete these tasks. The bottom line is this: The more muscle you carry, the more you lift, the more calories you burn, and the more fat you lose.

Strength gain
When you lift weights and grow new muscle, you gain strength. This makes every task of your normal daily routine a bit easier. Gain more strength, and it gets even easier. Do you see a pattern here? Top champion bodybuilders must have a pretty easy life, huh?

Security
Let’s admit it, we live in a fairly dangerous and unsure world! When a potential predator sizes up his victims for attack, he will typically work to avoid the “mark” wearing twenty pounds of muscle more than those around him. Predators feast upon the small and weak. If you train hard and grow new muscle, you will certainly not be viewed as prey for the bully. Rather, he might actually suddenly be looking out for you!

Appearance
The addition of new muscle to your frame will without a doubt change your appearance – and usually for the better. Try it and see!

Competition
For bodybuilders looking to diet down, put on the tanning oil and get onstage at a bodybuilding show, new muscle development can be the difference between a 1st and last place trophy! Every time the bodybuilder enters the gym, the kitchen, or prepares for a nap, he is cognizant of how these actions will affect his placing at his next bodybuilding show.

The fairer sex
Let’s face it – many people lift weights so they can attract mate(s). There is nothing wrong with that. People know that those potential mates who are in great shape probably take good care of themselves and are happy and healthy individuals – all attractive features.

Getting bigger
There are some among us who were always just naturally skinny and narrow our entire lives. New muscle development means that the former skinny twit will feel like a super hero when running into family, friends and co-workers. New muscle can make you a new man!

Metabolic action
The more muscle your body holds, the more daily calories are suddenly required to feed and maintain it. This is the reason why a 265-pound bodybuilder will often need to consume way more calories than his 160 pound trainer. When you have the muscle, you burn calories sitting on the couch – it’s that simple!
