Mass Gaining Secret Number 1, Amount of Exercise

If you want to be successful at Mass Gaining, you have to think about your Amount of Exercise. This is something many, and I mean many, people do not take into consideration when they are trying hard for muscle mass gaining.

Let me start with my own story as an example. When I started seriously hitting the gym, I was there all the time. I was doing 6 days a week of hard core exercise. Most of these exercises I learned in weight training back in college, and or picked up some new ones from watching others in the gym.. I was real interested in getting my biceps and triceps bigger to show off so I worked them hard just about every day. I was doing different types of curls and triceps workouts each day thinking that would work out on my behalf and I would start seeing mass gaining on my own body.

I was wrong.

What I was seeing was not growth, instead I was not seeing any growth. My muscle felt hard to the touch, but zero growth, zero mass gaining. Why, after all this working out using weights, was I not seeing any growth?

It turns out that the problem was that my body was not getting the time it needed to recuperate. This fact was not allowing my muscles to grow, instead they were staying the same size, and becoming only a little bit stronger. I came to find out that it is possible to even have reverse results from working out the same muscles too often, possibly losing strength and muscle mass.

I talked to a few of the personal trainers that worked at my local gym about this and they all agreed that I was not letting my muscles rest long enough for them to repair. What they suggested for better mass gaining was this:

REST

Instead of working out the same sets of muscles every single day, work them out HARD one day, then let them rest for at least one day, if not two or three. Giving your muscles at least one day to rest gives them plenty of time to rebuild themselves after you have torn them up by working out.

So I took this to heart. One of the trainers even had me on a specially designed workout specifically targeting my arms. Instead of doing the same work outs every day, he had me working out my arms on Monday. Then Tues/Wed/Thur I was working legs, back, shoulders, core, etc. Then on Friday I had a different set of arm workouts than on Monday.

Doing this gave my arms 3 days rest, then 2 days rest, after each arm workout day. After one month of following this simple guideline, I started to see mass gaining results. After 8 weeks I had increased my arms each by 1 1/2 inches. This kind of targeting, and most importantly rest, works for all of your muscles.

In conclusion, if you are serious about mass gaining, you need to come up with a schedule to make sure you are focusing your workouts on the muscles you want to see change in. You also have to make sure you give plenty of time for your muscles to rest, allowing them to rebuild before you work them again.
