How to build muscle (and shape) faster .....

How quickly you will build muscle and shape depends on 3 key items.

If you get these 3 items right you should be able to significantly increase the speed at which you build muscles and shape.

Get them wrong and you can train and train and progress will be slow at best.

The 3 key areas to focus on which will make a difference to your muscle and shape plan are:

  1. The Training Plan You follow

  2. What to eat before, during and after the Gym

  3. What to eat at other times

 

Quick Tip

Success Story 2 :

Monika Sidor

To find out how Monika Gained weight and shape see below

Item 1. The Training Plan You follow

The most important element to get faster results is the weight training plan you follow.

Just simply changing your routine can lead to dramatic improvements in weeks. 

But be very careful in selecting the plan to use, when we compared plans we found many of the plans :

  • Were very incomplete.

  • A lot required specialist equipment just not available in my gym

  • Some were just an advert for some of the largest weight gain drinks

  • A few just wouldn't work.

Based on our comparison we identified only 2 plans to be very effective. Both are slightly different and will help you get different results.  We rated the first one highest (the truth about building muscle) as it's very much all encompassing.

If you decide to speed up results and order a manual have a good read through both of them, they work slightly differently:

To show you what is possible we have shown 2 examples below

 

Success Story 1 : Kenny

...I Went From 90lbs to 250lbs..."

I hated being skinny and being called that, and I really wanted to put on some weight. I tried eating a ton but it didn't work and I tried a couple of other things and they didn't work either.

(Since I have an ectomorphic bodytype it's hard for me to gain weight)

Bodybuilding has done wonders for me; it has become like a hobby for me. Now I can't wait to step on the scale to see how much weight I gained over the weeks. I get compliments all the time from people about my weight gain.

...I was amazed as I looked back and saw that I went from 90lbs to 250lbs in squats in just 17 weeks, and I also saw that I went from 75lbs to 270lbs in deadlifts."

Success Story 2 : Monika Sidor

From a skinny runaway into

 the " World Of Fitness Modelling..."

"I have been following Vince's No-Nonsense Muscle Building Program for six months and have gained 10 pounds of muscle (I know this because my body fat percentage is… lower than when I started).

Did I mention I even entered the world of Fitness Modeling and did my first fitness model show. I placed 20th of 41 girls.

Not bad for an ex-skinny runway model!”

2. What to eat before, during and after the Gym

The importance of what you eat and when can not be overstated.  The worst thing you can do (as for any other sport) is to start on an empty tank.  Not only will you be draining your system of energy - you will also not get the best possible results.

Before any activity do take in some easily absorbed carbohydrates

Key tip - the best time to have protein is within 1 1/2 hour after training, as your muscles need high quality protein to rebuild.

Our 5 key stage sports nutrition plan (on the left) will take you through what to eat, and when, step by step.

Don't underestimate how selecting the right food can help results.

Success Story 3 : Lorraine Jones

I'd always wanted to do more training but with a demanding job, I found it hard to find the time and the energy after a long day at work. I was slim, but not as toned as I would have liked to be. I decided to take up Muay Thai boxing - seeing some results sparked a greater interest in nutrition.

As a vegetarian it can be tricky to get adequate amounts of quality protein through my normal diet. I had read about Maximuscle products in a men's fitness magazine and had a look at the Maximuscle website. I took the plunge and tried Promax , Promax Meal bars and Viper . The website was an excellent source of information on nutrition and training.

I made a few other adjustments to my diet and really started to notice the difference in muscle definition, energy, strength and a reduction in body fat. I now feel at my peak physically and mentally, which I put down to a combination of hard work, my Thai boxing trainers and Maximuscle sports nutrition. Being able to successfully compete in Thai boxing, and enjoy a high level of physical fitness feels great, having spent years as a teenager suffering from eating disorders and a poor self body image

3. Boosting your results by adding supplements

There are lots of different products you can use to improve results.

Most amateurs tend to go into their nearest 'health food' shop and buy a protein or muscle building drink (and then another..) Yes protein is important but the top level body builders tend to add more specialised products if they want to get faster results.
