Is It Possible to Gain Muscle Fast?


When people begin an exercise program, they often expect results to arrive faster than is practically possible. Like anything worth doing, gains made in exercise take place slowly over time. A question asked by many beginners, especially men, is how they can gain muscle fast. The answer to that question depends on what they have in mind when it comes to gaining muscle. To develop large, well-defined muscles like those of a body builder, there is no fast way. The only way is time and lots of hard work. However, if your goals are more reasonable, there are some things you can do to gain muscle fast.

To gain muscle, three main factors are involved. They are work, nutrition and rest. A lack of any three of these will hinder your ability to put on muscle. Though it's impossible to say which factor is the most often neglected, many people believe it's easier to do the exercise than it is to get proper nutrition and rest.

When it comes to work, you have to put in the effort. You also have to do the right exercises to accomplish the goals you have in mind. If you want to gain muscle mass, you will need to concentrate on moderately heavy weight training. By performing the major exercises that tax the large muscle groups, you achieve a more complete and more taxing workout. Lifts like the bench press, squat and dead lift work best for most people looking to gain muscle.

Once you workout, you must rest. The harder you work, the more rest you will need. Though it may seem counter intuitive to have to rest more to gain muscle fast, it really makes sense. Your muscles grow by repairing damage done during exercise. This growth requires lots of rest.

Nutrition is essential in growing muscles. You and your muscles are what you eat. If you do not feed the muscles the nutrients they require, not only will you not gain muscle fast, you will not gain muscle at all. Plenty of protein to build the muscle, as well as fats and carbohydrates to feed the muscle are essential. Supplements can help ensure you get everything you need, but good natural food is important also.

Though you shouldn't expect to look like a body builder after a month in the gym, there are some things you can do speed up muscle growth. Eat, sleep and work hard. Before you know it you'll achieve the muscles you desire.

Feel free to share your own stories. To your success.
