Building Muscle Tips #6 - How Hard Should I Train?

by Dave V

So how much time should you train in the gym? Well… Many people over train when they first start, so not too much. And others don’t get to the gym very often, so they don’t notice any results. This is obviously not enough. So what’s the middle ground? You should be training somewhere in the middle and that’ll vary depending on your lifestyle.

This is the ideal muscle building frequency. You should be doing weight training, with heavy weights (lifting about 5-7 reps, for 2-3 sets each muscle group) 3 times a week. No more, no less. The important part of this program is that you’re lifting heavy weights, with short rep counts. This stimulates your muscles to grow most effectively. Take 1 day off each week, so you don’t over train, and do some cardio on your off days if you’re looking to lose some weight too. Your training sessions should be no longer than an hour. This keeps your body in an anabolic state where your muscles grow most effectively.

The purpose of the weight training is to stimulate your muscles to grow. That’s it. Give your muscles the stimulation they need to grow, and you’ll get big in no time. When you’re sleeping, and while you’re at work, your hard work will be paying off.

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.

If you follow these instructions, you’ll find that you’re making massive muscle gains in no time. Your friends will comment and you can tell them how easy it is. Keep in mind though, that if you’re new to training you should consult a professional so you do the lifts correctly and do not hurt yourself. Also, eating well is the corner stone of a great physique. Keep it real.
