This will be my final installment on how to build muscle. I first want to raise the question to see if you are training hard enough. You should realize that the mind gives in before the body physically does. Many of you may lack the physical toughness that is required to push through the discomfort of forcing your muscles to grow.
There are a couple reasons for this and one of them may be a fear of injury. Let me reassure you if you are performing an exercise properly, targeting the muscle you want to work, there should be no injury. Injuries happen when your form is incorrect and you twist your body in weird ways. Maintain body alignment when the exercise gets tough.
Learning how to build muscle is keeping your targeted goal, working the muscle hard enough to 
stimulate growth and increase size. Also remember to maintain the full range of motion with proper body alignment. Remember not to sacrifice form for more reps.
This would probably be a good time to hire a Personal Trainer to provide you the motivation required. They can assist with that final rep while ensuring correct form. They can help with the negatives and give you the ability to push yourself. Personal Fitness Trainers can help you maintain your commitment and keep you motivated to train hard. They can help teach you how to build muscles you seek!
Have you reached a plateau in your workout routine and just can’t seem to get to the next level? Let me ask a question first…When was the last time your changed your routine?? That in itself could be the reason you are at a plateau. It is best to change up your routine every 4-6 weeks. There are many ways to do that. Today however, I am going to discuss the Pre-exhaustion System.
If you are at a crossroads and want to learn how to build muscle, this pre-exhaustion system can kick up your routine a notch! You will definitely increase your muscle size. What you have to do is perform successive sets of 2 different exercises for the same body part. For instance, perform chest presses to fatigue, then immediately do chest flys. How about doing squats to fatigue, then do lunges immediately after your last set of squats. With this system it forces the muscle group to work longer and harder, resulting in building mass.
It ALWAYS helps to keep your routine fresh! Change the exercises, or you can change the weight and number of reps. Your muscles do have a memory and if you are not constantly challenging them, you won’t see progress!
