MUSCLEANDSTRENGTH.COM MUSCLE BUILDING COURSE PART 1: HOW YOUR BODY GROWS MUSCLE Many new lifters believe the act of lifting weights is what builds muscle and to build muscle faster they need to train their muscles as frequently as possible. While a solid weight lifting session does kick-start the muscle growth process, it actually causes more muscle damage than growth. It’s the events taking place after your workouts, where your focus is on recovery, that causes your muscles to repair and grow larger. You can think of it as a three-step process - although it’s a little more complicated: 1. You have an awesome workout and leave the gym pumped up. 2. You nourish your body giving it all the nutrients it needs to grow. 3. You go to bed and get plenty of sleep. While asleep your muscles repair themselves and grow larger by the night. It’s in steps two and three where gains are made, step one is only the start of the process. That’s why gaining muscle takes time and it’s important to have realistic expectations. 0.5-1lb of lean muscle gains per month is a good goal. It might not seem like much, but 2-3 years from now you’re looking at 18-36lbs of true gains. Stay tuned, tomorrow we’ll show you how to choose a workout and maximize your time in the gym. - M&S MUSCLEANDSTRENGTH.COM
