Tips on bulking up with the right training and lifestyle

The reason more guys arent built like the models in Mens Health is that it isnt easy to lose fat and build muscle. You cant replace lots of hard work and dedication in the process, even though there are some discount supplements that can help. We have some advice for you on bulking up that can speed the process but the results still will not be instant.

If you focus more work on the major muscle groups you will see quicker results. Of all the exercises favoured in bodybuilding none is more effective that squats. Squats should be part of any weights routine if you want to build bulk. Any exercise that works a number of muscles at once is best, another great example is the bench press.

Building lots of muscle requires lots of protein, so expect to be including a lot of high protein foods in your diet. It can be hard to take in as much protein as you need in a normal diet which is why a lot of big guys use protein supplements.

When you are training you should aim to get around half of your calories from protein. Some people suggest that you should restrict your carbohydrate intake, but ladies swimsuit diets will not help you to build muscle mass. Your body turns carbohydrates that you are eating into the energy that you need when you are working out.

Even following this guidance the results wont show immediately. You can get some help here and there but really its all on you. Keep to the right diet and keep pushing yourself in the gym, remembering to focus on the compound exercises.  It helps when you are pushing yourself to keep training interesting, dont be shy about mixing up your routine. It can be hard to maintain your training programme when it gets monotonous. There are lots of resources to help.
