3 Tips for Building Muscle

1. Eat a Quality Diet: When building muscle the body need more calories for the growth of muscle tissue, but this does not mean stocking up on suppliments, it means eating a healthy diet of complex carbohydrates, Protein and esential fats from REAL FOOD. The protein required for building muscle while training is 1.6 gram per kg of bodyweight, consuming more than this will only go to waste.
2. Training: Muscle only grows if given the right stimulus, Load slould be in the 60 - 80 % 1 RM range, Reps should be between 6-20 and Sets should be 1-5 and complete 1-2 exercises per muscle. Lifting speed should be Very Slow/ Medium with 1-2 minutes rest between sets. Lifting should be done 2-3 days per week. More advanced routines can be added as a beginner gains experience. Care should be taken not to over train as confidence and experience grows.
3. 
   REST: Muscles need time to recover and grow, training every day does not allow muscles to recover adequately even if a split routine is in use 1-2 days rest without any training is still of huge benefit.
