The Best Workout to Gain Muscle

So you are really serious about this huh? You want to gain muscle right? Well you’ve come to the right place because I will show you the best workout to gain muscle. Firstly you must take the muscle builders creed. You MUST commit yourself to this because results are long in coming, however once they do… it seems like a cascade of new striations and fascinating little bulges here and there! You HAVE to stick with it and make it a permanent/long-term lifestyle choice. If you are looking for a quick fix, sorry pal, you won’t find one here.

So what’s the best workout to gain muscle? Some call it German Volume Training but it has many variations. This is mostly because in its original form its deadly difficult to do as it would take so long for a newbie to finish it if they survive past the first few sets. Also, there is a high chance that your body will go into catabolism. So the variations! Well there are two forms. High Intensity and High volume. High intensity involves doing a combination of explosive exercises with very heavy weights for short bursts in order to gain muscle. High volume on the other hand involves doing two or three exercises for extended sets with HEAVY weights (10-20 sets). Sounds easy? No! THESE HARDCORE but MIGHTY EFFECTIVE workouts to gain muscle rather quickly. I won’t beat about the bush. Here’s what a BASIC High intensity upper workout will look like;

bench-press @ 4-6 reps
rows + chin ups + pull-downs @ 4-6 reps
military press + Upright rows + lateral raise @ 4-6 reps
incline press + pull overs + dips @ 4-6 reps

There are many techniques you can employ like pre-exhaustion, rest-pauses, negatives and pure negatives.

A high volume workout is much tougher and need only be performed a maximum of 3 times a week. You need core and compound workouts to get maximum benefits with this workout to gain muscle

Deadlifts
Squats
Bunchpress
Chin ups/pull ups
Military press
Rows
Clean & press
Dips.

This workout regime requires huge focus because of how taxing it is on your body. You need lots of sleep, lots of good nutrition and you will need to listen in to your body and see if you are over exerting yourself. You will also need to balance it properly for your body type. This is my favourite workout to gain muscle and it is what I used when I started out.

It’s simple and easy to follow. You need about 50-60% on your one rep max to perform this.

However there are more effective variations to this which will give you a much much easier ride. Get rid of the exposed ribs and fight the flab and expose those fab abs! This is the holy grail of mass building and quite simply the best workout to gain muscle out there. Don’t be left behind. Your new body awaits!.
