How can we discover the best way to gain muscle mass quickly and effectively? The answer would vary with whether you would like to just put on the most muscle you can, or on whether you are looking to gain muscle without gaining any fat. The are many methods, and some may be better methods than the others, but a “best way” does not really exist. The best way in my opinion is by adding muscle while staying somewhat lean. The following will explain the best methods to use to succeed in doing this.

So No Magic Way?

First lets look at how you can gain muscle but stay looking good. By not gaining fat and at the same time increasing the muscle mass, this can be achieved. The best way to do this is to lift with a high volume of sets and reps, while eating a modest amount of calories.

How is it possible to develop greater muscle mass while only consuming a diet low in calories?

Yes, the most effective approach to building muscle is from training and not from eating. Although the fitness and health magazines will tell you differently, bear in mind that they are in the business to sell food supplements to those in training. If they wanted you to get in shape they wouldn’t advise supplements, just more workouts.

Instead of eating more, train more!

It is not possible to gain more massive muscles by eating more. It is entirely possible to increase your body’s mass by eating more, buy the increase will be more fat gained and less lean muscle. All of that fat will eventually have to be lost and losing weight isn’t fun. The best approach is to simply not gain that fat to begin with. There is no need to worry about eating a lot when you are training. The muscle is added by your body to compensate for the effort you are putting them through, not because of all the calories you are eating.

When your body has excess fat that can be lost

You may want to get in shape and become muscular although you are currently hauling around a lot of spare weight, the best way to gain muscle is to do it while losing body fat. What you will want to do is focus on strength training in the 3-5 rep range while adding in a lot of cardio and intervals to drop body fat. When you are down to the weight you are happy with you can start to tone up some more.

The following is a good way to develop muscle.

For the first couple of months of your regime do high weight low reps, somewhere in the 5-15 rep range, this will increase your muscle volume. After that, spend another few months lifting in the lower rep range to increase strength and muscle density (myofibrillar hypertrophy). To achieve a great looking muscular body, those are the facts for the best way to gain muscle.
