DON’T DROP
CARDIO ALTOGETHER
It may seem as though cardio would reduce
mass, but it is an important part of
muscle growth in that it strengthens the
heart’s ability to cope with the extra load.
Three 20-minute cardio sessions per week
will help you maintain your heart without
the risk of impairing your muscle growth.
SKIP THE STERIODS
Don’t get mixed up with anabolic
steroids. Steroids work by replacing
and overwhelming the naturally-occurring
hormones in the body, which can
have terrible effects. Besides that, steroids
can cause liver damage, reduce
your level of “good” cholesterol, and stimulate
breast growth in men. Steroids have
a harmful consequence on your mood
which can lead to something called “roid
rage” while also producing terrible acne.
By building your muscles, you will become
stronger. Ultimately, you should see an advancement
in the amount of weight you
can lift. When you begin exercising regularly,
you should be able to add five percent
more weight for every session. If you
do not see such results, see if you might
be doing something wrong. If your performance
at the gym is faltering with every
session, then you may not be giving
your muscles enough time to recover.
Now that you have read about new and
helpful information on muscle building
and weight lifting, you can apply these tips
to your own routine. Review these tips regularly.
You’ll definitely find new ways to incorporate
the most useful ones into your
workout routine.
