Gaining Muscle Mass Quickly

Gaining muscle mass quickly is the hope of most people who start bodybuilding, but taking shortcuts is not the way to go about it. Neither is pumping your body full of supplements. So how do you gain fast without sacrificing yourself? Hard work in the gym is the key, plus a great diet.

There are two sides to the equation and if either side is missing or compromised, you will not gain muscle mass quickly. There is little point working out to the point of exhaustion if your diet is all wrong; you are simply wasting your time and energy, and may in fact end up going backwards as your fat levels rise.

Have you been bodybuilding for a while but have recently stopped seeing gains? If so, you need to change your workout routine.

Over time your body becomes accustomed to your regular workouts and the weights that you life. You must be constantly pushing your body to new levels if you are to increase your muscle. Fast muscle growth will result from a workout routine that is constantly changing and keeping your body ‘on its toes’.

One way that works for gaining muscle mass quickly if your gains have recently levelled out is to use a different rep range. Instead of your usual (for example) 8 reps per set, attempt a lower rep range or a higher range.

A low range would be 4 reps (but you’d have to be using pretty heavy weights to benefit from this). Alternatively doing sets with reps up to 15 or even more occasionally can really confuse your muscles and have them working in ways they aren’t used to: that is the ultimate way to work your muscles to their furthest extent.

Slowing down your lifting can also bring about quicker gains, particularly if you have been weight lifting for some time. Many people have a tendency to rush their lifts, but slowing down means your muscles are bearing the load for longer – resulting in exhausted muscles and extra gains.
