How To Build Muscle Successfully
How to build muscle? Ever wonder why a cave man never needed to ask that question. As you can see from historical illustrations, our ancestors seem to have been made of bricks. The reason for that is a no-brainer- they eat healthy and they are always on the go.
During prehistoric times, people did not crave for fatty and processed foods, because they didn’t exist yet. They ate raw meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Gyms didn’t exist back then, either. And even if they did, people wouldn’t have had the time to go to gyms. They were up in dawn and hunted till dusk; built their own homes without the use of an electric drill; climbed tall trees and high mountains; battled against lions and bears… need I say more? If you want to be the lean, mean, muscle machine like cave men were, heed what they have taught us:
Diet
Have you ever heard of the Paleo Diet? Taking inspiration from our ancestors, the cave men, Dr. Cordain wrote a book wherein he talks about what he calls a “pre-historic menu”, also known as the Paleo Diet. The theory behind it is quite simple. He explains that no cavemen ever suffered from obesity or being too skinny mainly because they had the right diet, which consists of lean meat (lots of it), fish, seafood, fruits, and non-starchy vegetables. He says to stay away from cereal, legumes, dairy products, and processed food.
However, being that following the Paleo diet to the brim deems to be too drastic, you will still get great results just by sticking to the basics. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables; stay away from processed and fatty food; and most importantly, increase intake of lean meat and fish. Lean meat and fish are the primary sources of lean protein, which are the building blocks of muscle fibers. The more muscle fibers, the bigger the muscles can get.
However, no matter how much protein is stored in your body, you cannot expect to build muscles without any activity at all. The best way to increase muscle mass is to do targeted strength training. The general rule of thumb in building muscles is to stress your muscles by lifting heavy weights. The theory behind it is that lifting weights basically tears the muscle fibers. Given ample time, the fibers then heal back together stronger and larger than before. With this in mind, remember that if it seems like your muscles are no longer challenged by the weights you are carrying it is time to gradually add more. Also, always keep in mind to give your muscles sufficient time to heal.
There are hundreds of ways to build muscles; however, most of them are tiring and hard to do.
