Building Muscle Mass With Effective Bodybuilding Routines

By Wakelin Smith


The basics of bodybuilding are actually simple when properly understood. It is also important to remember that it is not a hit and miss affair. Then again, it does not take a genius to develop the proper bodybuilding routines. The proper way of doing it will surely result in building muscle mass if it is mixed with the determination to carry out the right workout.

Any bodybuilder, either a beginner or a professional, must learn to keep his weight training routine among his important priorities. With this, he must keep in mind that any desired muscle mass buildup only comes as a result of determination and patience. Desired results from weight training do not happen overnight. He must learn to stick with a program to gain the muscle size and strength he wants.

Also, highly effective bodybuilders know that spending a lot of time inside the gym does not guarantee a bigger muscle mass. This way, they are aware that they must keep their workouts as efficient as possible within a reasonable time. There is no need to spend 3 hours a day in the gym to build muscle mass Keeping the weight training workouts under an hour and a half (or better yet, and hour) and doing them 3 or 4 times a week will give the body enough rest to grow bigger and stronger.

There are a few tips for a proper bodybuilding routines. One, they must be kept short. This means that it should be between 45 to 75 minutes maximum while the best should be 60 minutes being best. The reason for this is simple. Training more than 75 minutes will prevent the body from gaining muscle and losing fat fast! Also, this long training will also prevent the body from a fast recovery. This is one occasion when more is not necessarily better for huge bodybuilding gains.

Two, keep to a minimum the rest in between sets. This means that rest must be somewhere between 90 seconds or less. This rest time is ideal in improving the cardiovascular system as well as helps the body to perform a lot of work and still finish within the ideal time of 75 minutes. Also, it has also been known that this kind of training stimulates the most growth hormones outputs.

Third, the sets should be between 8 - 15 repetitions for muscle mass gains while for body sculpting purposes it must be 15-25 repetitions. Some reasons support this range in reps.

The best blood pump into the muscle cells within these repetition ranges. Considering that nutrients that nourish the muscle cells are pumped along with the blood come nutrients and that this blood pump help them recover and rebuild bigger faster, then this rep range is very important. To add, there is less probability of injury since the body will be using a weight that it can control. Also, it has been shown in studies that muscle building and fat burning occur best at these repetition ranges.

It is not wise to get stuck with the same routine for a long workout period. A bodybuilder ends up with a zero muscle growth if he does this even he spends a lot of time pumping iron. Also, sticking at the same workout regimen will surely lead to a boring and unenthusiastic day at the gym. So finally, training must be varied and cycled.
