How to build muscle fast in just WEEKS
Something many are in search of is a crash program for bulking up very fast (as in a month or less!)
This is possible although it is definitely not for everyone; this sort of program is far better for the advanced bodybuilder who wants to build up just a little bit of an edge before a competition than it is for the novice weightlifter.
Again, this is going to be a tough workout, but will yield noticeable results within a short time. So, if you feel the need to build fast muscle in a matter of weeks, you might want to give these tips a try - though the standard advice about consulting with a physician before starting any workout regimen definitely applies here. The last thing we want is for you to strain yourself so remember to warm up before you do these exercises; in fact, a very good idea would be not only to warm up but also to do a few reps with half the weight you will do in the exercises themselves before you get started.
10 reps each of: Squats, Leg Curls, Leg Extensions, Dumbbell Pullovers, Seated Rows Bench Presses, Barbell Overhead Shoulder Presses, Barbell Bicep Curls Tricep Extensions, Weighted Pullups, Weighted Dips
And 12-15 each of: Standing Calf Lifts and Ab Crunches
For best results, this should take less than an hour (including warm up). Why less than an hour? To maximize your workout before cortisol levels build too high (45-50 minutes) (just know that coritisol promotes weight gain and hinders the building of lean muscle mass). You get the best results during the first forty five minutes or so of your workout, so make the most of it! Besides the idea is to be working so hard during these short gym visits that you’re exhausted by the end of 45 minutes anyways!
If you follow this program and do it correctly you’ll have gotten the most benefit out of a short intense workout. Also, you don’t want to do this routine anymore than three times a week (you want to give your body adequate rest in between).
As I said before, this is definitely not for everyone. Those who are serious about building muscle fast and have the experience to handle a tough workout like this may opt for it, as might those who are overscheduled and want to build muscle in the little time they have available. If you’re up for a challenge though, this three times a week workout just might be for you!
