Fitness Gurls Magazine|June 2018

There is so much conflicting information out there when it comes to the topic of building muscle, and sometimes it can be very difficult to know where to start.

8 Proven Strategies For Maximum Muscle Gains

If you are an average beginner looking for some basic guidelines to follow in the gym, the following 8 points will start you offon the right track.

1) Train With Weights and Focus On

Compound, Free Weight Movements. If you want to make solid, noteworthy gains in muscle size and strength, you absolutely must train with free weights and focus on basic, compound exercises. A compound exercise is any lift that stimulates more than one muscle group at a time. Examples of these lifts are the squat, deadlift, bench press, chin up, barbell row, overhead press, dip, and lunge. Compound movements allow you to handle the most weight and will stimulate the greatest amount of total muscle fibers.

2) Be Prepared To Train Hard

One of the biggest factors that separate those who make modest gains from those who make serious gains is their level of training intensity. In order to stimulate your muscle fibers to their utmost potential, you must be willing to take every set you perform in the gym to the point of muscular failure.

Muscular Failure: The point at which no further repetitions can be completed using proper form.

Sub-maximal training intensity will leave you with sub-maximal results, plain and simple.

3) Track Your Progress In The Gym From Week To Week
