Go Big, Go Heavy Or GO HOME!

So, you want to build lean muscle and get ripped, huh? You'd better get off your butt and start lifting some real weight, performing serious lifting routines and eating the precise foods your body demands if you're ever going to build the rock-hard muscle you are striving for.

Most guys who want to build lean muscle mass are not lifting with the right intensity and focus to make significant amounts of muscle gain. Look around the gym, those guys look exactly the same as they did a year ago, don't they? It is because they aren't performing intensely targeted weight training workouts. Muscle must be stressed and pushed beyond their limits during each and every training session in order to grow. You have got to lift heavy, using powerful multi joint exercises to shred the muscle fibers and force them to adapt.

Are you lifting heavy enough?

The key to building lean muscle mass fast is to make sure you are shredding the muscles and forcing them to heal and expand. You have to lift heavy weight to achieve this. The definition of heavy is as much weight as you can possibly lift for 6 repetitions. In other words, the absolute maximum amount of weight you can lift 6 times without puking.

This type of weight training is not for sissy's - this is hard core training. If you want to build lean muscle and burn fat, you must have to make the commitment to push yourself beyond your perceived limits while performing these intense weight lifting exercises.

So, which weight lifting exercises are best for building muscle?

To build lean muscle fast, you should be performing a multi joint weight lifting routine that forces your body to use multiple muscles simultaneously. This type of gut-wrenching weight training is the most efficient way to build muscle mass. For instance, if you do set of dead lifts, you are not only building your back, but your quads, hamstrings and glute muscles have to work to lift the weight as well.

Warning! Performing multi joint exercises will rip your muscles to shreds!

It is vital that you feed your body the precise amount of nutrients to sustain and rebuild themselves before and after executing these heavy-duty weight lifting workouts. If you don't nourish your muscles they can't perform optimally during these excruciating training sessions. And without the right amount of protein, they can't repair, reconstruct and grow.

So, you might as well just stay in bed if you are not going to fortify your body with the nutrients it needs to build lean muscle.
