how to build lean muscles

As you start bodybuilding and begin to add muscle remember your goal must be to build lean muscle mass. what you want that mean what kind of body you like to build. Its totally different thing want to get big muscle to look good it is another thing to add lean muscle mass. Anybody can get bigger body by adding fat but that goes against what we are really trying to accomplish, if you want muscular body . What sense does it make to get large if, when you look in the mirror you can’t see your abs or any noticeable definition. You must incorporate cardio and proper nutrition to help insure that the weight you are putting on is lean muscle mass and you are losing fat at the same time.

Four things you must understand when we are talking about building lean muscle

Muscle Confusion

One way to build lean muscle mass is too start using heavier weights combined with less rest in between sets. 30 seconds rest in between each set is enough time to allow your heat rate and lactic acid build up to decrease. Keep your muscles confused by changing your rest times in between sets and they will respond by getting bigger. This type of confusion training will also help to burn unnecessary calories and help you to build more lean muscle mass.

Strength Training

Strength training along with some clearly defined goals is a critical part of building lean muscle mass. Strength training and fat burning go hand in hand and should be included in your overall weight lifting program. When strength training to build lean muscle mass you should also workout the larger muscle groups. Increasing your core strength is the goal of strength training and building lean muscle mass. The chest, back and legs are examples of large muscle groups which respond great by using compound exercises.

This type of training will release a larger amount of hormones and utilize a larger portion of muscle fiber than just working out the smaller individual muscles and will also allow you to continue to burn calories long after the workout is done. It really is all about gaining strength and using the best strength training routine to bring you to the next level.

Cardio Training

Don't forget your cardio to help you build lean muscle mass and get a ripped physique. Cardio can be boring and at times seem a waste of time but if you are going to have the stamina and endurance to complete your workouts it must be included. It would be hard to see all that new lean muscle mass if it were hidden behind a layer of fat. Make your new muscles stand out by losing that layer of fat hiding it. Begin your cardio training today!

Nutrition And Protein

Proper nutrition is a major part of building lean muscle and it is a good idea to eat only those foods that will help you achieve your goals. When we talk about bodybuilding nutrition we must talk about protein and consuming the right amount every day. To build lean muscle mass you must take in one gram of protein for each pound of lean muscle mass. Beginning weight lifters can use the older method of calculating protein intake by using one gram of protein per one pound of total body weight. Once you become more experienced then you will want to tweak your intake by consuming protein based on your lean muscle mass.

Keeping these four things in mind, muscle confusion, strength training, cardio and nutrition you will be well on your way to building a lean muscular body.
