Natural Ways To Build Muscle

Ways To Bulk Muscles Naturally

Natural bodybuilding is the safest, healthiest and most effective way to build muscle there is. Artificial means of bodybuilding such as anabolic steroids have a whole host of nasty and potentially dangerous side effects – heart problems, liver disease and even shrunken testicles. These side effects won’t just disappear as soon as you stop them, they are permanent.

To really bulk up your muscles, correct exercises and natural supplements are the way forward. It will take time but with a bit of dedication and hard work you can bulk your muscles quicker than you think. Here are some tips to follow to get you on the right track:

Follow A Healthy Diet

Bodybuilders do rely heavily on protein, carbohydrates and fat as these are excellent for energy production, testosterone levels and building and repairing muscle.  Testosterone is essential in body building; it is the hormone that helps to build solid muscle.

The sort of foods you should be including in your diet are plenty of fruit and vegetables, nuts, whole grains, chick breast, lean beef, eggs and low-fat dairy products. These provide the best natural sources of important nutrients that the body needs for successful body building.

Limit Alcohol Intake

Alcohol can hamper the production of testosterone. Men that drink excessive amounts of alcohol will have a much harder time building muscle mass. It is best to severely limit your intake of alcohol or avoid it altogether; drinking plenty of fluid such as water will help to encourage the body to build bulk.

Slowly Increase Muscle Resistance

By adding 5% to 10% of the maximum weight that you lift each week, you can slowly but consistently increase your muscle resistance. Lifting heavier weights will help to boost testosterone production helping you to eventually build bigger, stronger muscles.  It is best to lift heavy gradually to avoid injury and avoid setting yourself back even further.

Concentrate On Routine Compound Exercises

Compound exercises (ones that work more than one muscle and several joints at the same time) are a prerequisite of a bodybuilding exercise routine.

They will allow you to build muscle bulk, strength and activate higher levels of testosterone. Make sure you concentrate on exercises such as dead lifts, shoulder presses, squats and bench presses to build muscle quickly and improve your stamina and strength.
