Free Muscle Building & Weight Gain Guide

For many people, a pen and paper is the last thing that comes to their minds in building muscle & gaining weight.

Priority is always given to getting an effective training program from the Internet or bodybuilding magazine, or trying a super supplement hoping to build muscle & gain weight fast.  If you were new to bodybuilding, how’d you ensure in getting the best advice?  How often should you train each week?  How long to train per training session? How many sets and reps to use? Which are the best exercises to perform to generate the best results?

There will be no end in debating about the best methods to build muscle and gain weight fast.

The problem is – besides all details like exercise selection, sets, reps, supplements and etc., many bodybuilders ended up losing sight of their ultimate goals because they forgot one very important criteria…i.e. for them to progress to next stage in building muscle and gain weight.

You see… To pack on muscle and get bigger, you must get stronger progressively.

When you train with weights, your muscle will grow bigger and stronger in response to stress.  Continuous stress from your weekly training with the progressive increase in weights will force your body to recognize it as a threat to its survival, and therefore will increase its size and strength in preparation for future threats.

Therefore, you should focus on increasing the weights in the lifting or by forcing an extra rep every week.  The key here is to increase the load and stress progressively, and this forces the muscles to continue to grow larger and stronger in response to the increasing stress.

To make sure you are progressing, you need to record your training details down with a pen and paper!  (or you may record it into a phone or PDA).  This will allow you to look closely at each of your training session, and focus on the amount of weights or the number of reps, and make it a point to increase one or both of them from week to week.

Your effort in training program and nutrition is also important, but if you don’t increase your strength progressively every week, you will not gain muscle, and recording your progress down (with a pen and paper) is crucial to help you achieve your goal of building muscle and gain weight fast.

Happy bodybuilding!
