Building Lean Muscle Mass

Workout Program

It is important to understand that for a beginner more isn’t necessarily better, when picking your first routine it is advisable to focus on a program that is built around compound exercises. Compound exercises such as Squats, Bench Pressing and Deadlifts incorporate the major muscle groups as well as stabilizing muscles. Always start out with a routine built on compound exercises so that you can build a solid well balanced muscle and strength base.

Diet

Eating properly can make a huge amount of difference in the results you will achieve when trying to build lean muscle mass. Protein is the key to repairing and building muscle tissue so it is essential to increase protein intake from lean meats, fish, eggs and in some cases protein supplements. Often overlooked, healthy fats are a key component in hormone regulation which in turn has a big impact on muscle development. Complex Carbohydrates should always be used in place of simple carbohydrates; they provide more nutrient rich food and supply the body with more energy to see you through hard workouts. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps keep the body supplied with vitamins and minerals that further aid in the pursuit of your goals.

Rest

A mistake many beginners make is “overtraining”, this is basically when the body does not have enough time to recover from previous workouts before the next is undertaken. This can have a very negative impact on muscle building as well as putting strain on the central nervous system. The body actually repairs damaged muscle whilst you are at rest and sleeping, so by ensuring you get plenty of sleep at night and leave time to recover between training days you will actually be increasing your progress.
