If you’re looking to bulk up, you probably would love to find a fast way to add an inch to your biceps/ Who wouldn’t? Growing bigger muscles to flex and impress others is always at the back of many people’s minds. They can make you the envy of the gym, and you’ll no longer look like the guy who gets sand kicked in his face at the beach. It’s all about the best regimen, diet, and determination to stick with the program.
If you want to build muscle, you need the raw materials. If you don’t have them, it’s like trying to create a brick wall without any bricks. Your body requires a surplus of calories to build muscle tissue, but not so many that you add a lot of fat. You also need the right nutrition to gain muscle tissue. When you work a muscle, it causes micro tears in the muscle. They need to be repaired. That takes energy. Extra energy is necessary for the best workout to jump-start the process. Increase your calorie intake slightly by adding a surplus of 250 to 500 calories. Include plenty of protein in your diet. Eat a snack before and after your workout containing carbs and protein.
Maintaining structure is important. Be consistent. Create a plan to build your bicep and do it every 48 to 72 hours. You get the gain when the muscles do their repair. Focus on progressive overload by constantly trying to improve your last workout by increasing weight or reps, shortening rest periods, or increasing volume. Record your results and be consistent with your workout. Don’t overwork your muscles. If you overtrain, it’s worse than not training enough. You don’t give your muscles time to heal.
Compound movements work more than just one muscle or joint, so you benefit more from doing those. Compound movements burn more calories and trigger the release of more hormones that affect muscle growth, such as testosterone and HGH—human growth hormone. Don’t skip isolation exercises, but don’t use them exclusively.
