By Vince DelMonte

If you have been listening to everyone telling you how to build muscle in the gym or you are unhappy with how you look in the mirror. Don't worry. We are here to teach you five simple steps to building muscle safely and effectively. Your frustrations with your slow progress in the gym are over. Pay attention carefully to what I'm about to share.

There is a good chance that you are not maximizing one of these four steps. Your problem and solution lies in correcting these essential steps before you have any chance of building a muscular and lean physique.

Be prepared to learn how to build muscle in four simple to do steps with less time. The good part is we show you how to do it without drugs or ineffective supplements.

Step #1

Your goal should be to stimulate your muscles with resistance or stress. Try committing to lifting weights at least three to four times per week. This will result in your muscles growing bigger to avoid stress from occurring again. Then you let your muscles heal through nutrition and rest. It will grow bigger and you will repeat the same process again. You want to hi your muscles once every 72 hours so you can perform 2 upper body workouts per week and 2 lower body workouts per week.

Step #2

You should focus on having half of your meals being solid whole food meals and the remainder can be liquid replacement meals. Attempt this 5-7x a day with your meals consisting of good carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. If your trying to build muscle than you should be eating at least 15-18 x your current body weight.

Step #3

The biggest mistakes seen in the gym are people training and training with out any stretching. Stretching helps to restore normal length to the tissue and reduce the incidence of injuries. If you are training 4 hours in the week, an additional 2 hours should be dedicated to stretching. Make sure to balance the shortening of the muscle tissues that occurs with weight training or else you will become injury prone.

Step #4

Avoid supplements that have not been around for longer than 3 years. I learned this philosophy from an Australian strength coach who recommended not trying any supplement until it has been around at least 3 years to pass the test of time. This will make your life much easier and help you avoid all the marketing hoopla in the latest fitness and bodybuilding magazine. If you follow this rule, you will discover only a small handful of supplements still standing. Here are the ones you should not go with out: a high quality multi-vitamin, fish oil capsules, powdered creatine and a protein powder. These products will cover your nutritional basis for health, healthy body composition, strength and muscle mass.
