Building Muscle Tips #6 - How Many Times A Week Should I Train ?
So how many times a week should you train to build muscle? I'm glad you asked. Most people experience over training in the beginning and they're muscles get sore. Sometimes you'll find that you just don't have enough time to train, or you've got an injury. There are many reasons why it's sometimes hard to get to the gym. Just lack of motivation is common. But I'm sure that after you've seen some results, you'll be busting to get more done every time you train.
Here's the ideal solution. If you're training to gain muscle mass, you only need to train 3 times a week, for about 45-60 minutes. That's it. Surprised? I was when I started. The reason why is because most of the muscle growth occurs AFTER the training session. The actual weight lifting session only needs to be short, but intense.
The whole reason you're lifting weights is to stimulate your muscles to grow. That's all. When you train hard, your body will grow and repair itself when your sleeping, working and geting out in the world. No need to spend hours in the gym, just 3 hours a week really. So you can get on with your life with no worries.
The best thing about this kind of training is that you're not a slave to the gym. You've now got plenty of time to hang out with your friends, and get your work done. It's really that easy. Get to the gym 3 times a week, work out hard for 45 minutes and lift heavy weights.
You'll be surprised at how quickly you gain muscle training like this. Make sure you give it a go for a few months so you can see the difference. Gaining muscle weight takes some time, and effort. And make sure you're eating good quality foods too. Muscles need vitamins and nutrients to grow, so you must feed them well. Get a good source of protein into your body after each workout and you will be massive in no time. If you're not sure how a lift is done, get someone to show you. Keep it real!
