Eliminate the Pain, Exercise to Build Muscle
How can someone exercise to build muscle, but do it without feeling the aches and pains after?
Here is how you can build muscle faster, while also taking out the pain in working out and rebuilding muscle.
Most of these concepts are related to basic knowledge of working out, however they must be incorporated in to your work out, or you will still feel the burn.
It’s all about timing. For the best benefits, don’t work out passed an hour. After an hour, your worst enemy, lactic acid, will come into haunt you. This is what you want to stay away from to prevent the pain and cramps.
To exercise to build muscle, lift lots of weight, about 80 to 85% of the max weight you can handle in one rep. Keep it short and to the point, with 3-5 reps and 3-5 sets. Every week, add weight to keep gaining muscle. To help build up muscle, lengthen your rest time, before moving onto other exercises. If you are a women and want to build strength, but not the Hulky muscles, keep your rest time shorter, but use the same amount of reps and sets I mentioned before. Using lots of weight with fewer reps and sets is more beneficial than many reps and sets with low weight, because you are providing more resistance, which will work your muscles harder, building muscle faster.
Compound exercises, as you can tell from reading my other articles, are the best for building muscle and also losing weight. They work many muscles at once, giving you better flexibility and comfort with movements involving many muscles. They are highly recommended to exercise to build muscle, because compound exercises will benefit you the most when you are out of the weight room, doing daily activities like lifting objects, moving furniture, and any type of sport.
Although compound exercises are found in the weight room, don’t be discouraged if you want to work out at home first before spending money on a gym membership or work out equipment. There are exercises to build muscle you can perform without spending any money. Push ups, pull ups, chin ups, and mountain climbers are just a few, well known, exercises that can get you started.
If you choose to use these concepts in your workout, you will see a decrease in total time for your workout.
Using these simple changes in your work out, expect to see a decrease in pain, and an increase in muscle, as you exercise to build muscle.
