There are countless oridinary men and women that regularly go to a gym in order to increase lean body mass. They strive for a much improved body shape but all too seldom they do not accomplish their goals.

As the months pass by they become ever more irritated with their shortage of mass gains.

This can be a very common occurrence for someone having a strong desire to improve their physique, which is why many people stop, thinking that they are somehow unable to add muscle size.

So why does this happen to so many of us and what can you do to resolve it?

From my experience, those of us who do not make extremely good muscle mass increases at the gym make the same errors over and over again.

Read on below to see if you are making these common mistakes, with answers for every problem.

Beginners opt for unsuitable body building workouts to achieve their goals, often following expert workouts from bodybuilding magazines.

This is no use for the typical man or woman, and in particular for novices.

In order to gain muscle mass you must train for approximately 45 mins with weights, performing 2-3 sets per exercise. Keep your sets at no more than 15 sets per weight training visit.

There is no benefit doing 20 or more sets and sacrificing many hours at the gym.

Doing the same body building program day after day, even though they haven’t made any evident muscle mass gains.

To be able to increase muscle mass you must completely change your workout every 12 weeks maximum. Your body has a kind of muscle memory so it quickly gets used to the same muscle training routine you do again and again every week.

You must shock your muscles by altering your body building workouts routinely.

Not taking any time off from body building.

I take 1 week off in the middle of each bodybuilding training program.

This gives my muscles time off to recover and recharge. I’ve done this for several years now and I haven’t had a bad injury while doing so..

Another benefit is that I often experience increased strength after I’ve taken time off.

Doing your workouts on successive days.

Doing body building programs that involve lifting heavy weights puts a lot of strain on your muscles. It can even take up to 24 hours to restore your glycogen energy reserves. Therefore, ensure you train no more than 2 days in a row. This allows your body will re-nourish itself, resulting in optimum energy when you train at the gym.

You depend on muscle building supplements to compensate for a incorrect diet.

Most body building supplements are not anything more than costly marketing scams. They empty your pockets of hard earned money and do nothing to build mass. If you spent $50 a week on bodybuilding supplements, it will make no more than 10% difference to your muscle mass gains.

All workout programs should be prepared around a stable dietary plan.

You have got to make certain that you nourish your muscles with the nutrients it needs in order to develop solid muscle mass.

Summary

In order to build lean muscle more quickly than you have ever thought possible, you must take no notice of the usual body building methods that you have picked up in the past from professional bodybuilders in muscle publications.

Slow gainers in particular should adjust their muscle building training routines and stop repeating the common mistakes I’ve mentioned above. Do this and could see some amazing results!
