Gain Muscle Without Drugs. It Can Be Done!

So you want to build rock hard muscle without using drugs. First off, good for you. It can be done with hard work and a good diet. The question is where to begin. There are so many people giving so many different pieces of advise it’s hard to know where to start. The key is to start with the basics.

When first starting out you will find that it’s pretty easy to gain muscle. If you have never done any weight training your body is totally new to it and will make some quick adaptations and begin growing muscle pretty quickly. Once you get into your training groove though, you will need a well thought out plan for both your weight training and your diet.

Some of the best exercises for gaining muscle quickly are compound exercises. Compound exercises will work your body through a full range of motion while incorporating multiple muscles or muscle groups in one exercise. Some great exercises are squats, dips, flat bench press, deadlift, pull-ups and standing rows. There are others but these are probably personal favorites.

One thing I always try to do is add something to each training session each week. What I mean is if I did flat bench for 200 lbs for a set of ten as my strongest set, either add more weight or more reps. If I am adding reps I only go up to 12 before the weight has to change otherwise you are not going to see growth, it will change your workout into more of an aerobic workout with weights. In order for the body to grow you need to overload the muscles. When you train you actually do not build muscle you break it down. It is when you rest after training that the building process begins. This is why proper diet to feed the muscles and rest to let the body repair the muscles is just as important as the workout itself.

So remember you can get a strong, muscular body without the use of drugs. Just be sure to train hard and heavy, eat properly ( and often if your looking ot get bigger) and give your body enough rest time to rebuild your muscles bigger and stronger.
