Becoming a body builder isn’t something that happens overnight or after one session of working out. It takes time to build muscle and tone your body. It also depends on the types of exercise that you do. If you want to look like a body builder, fast reps of heavy weight will help to produce large bulging muscles. But If you want to be lean and toned, more reps of less weight will help to firm your muscles. There are also other components that affect muscle growth, such as time, the amount of cardio you do, as well as your nutrition.
Tension time is the amount of time during your workout the muscle is under tension. For many exercises; sit-ups, pushups, bicep curls, etc…, only have of the exercise is performed with your muscles under tension. If you want to build denser muscles, taking longer to do these exercise will do the trick.
Limiting the amount of cardio you do is also important when building muscle. Although cardio helps to increase your fitness, there are two main ways which it deters muscle growth. Firstly, cardio doesn’t breaks down the muscle tissue so there is no reason that your body should rebuild your muscles bigger. Secondly, after an intense cardio session, your body will be exhausted and you need time for your body to recover. When doing strength training and cardio at the same time, your body will put all its resources into recovering from the cardio, and there will not be enough left over to help build muscle.
When trying to build muscle it is a good idea to get proper nutrition. Eating 5 or 6 small meals per day will help your body meet its dietary needs in order to build muscle. A high protein diet will also help you build muscle faster than you thought possible.
