Blogging About The Truth To Gain Weight & Build Muscle Mass!

Working a nine to five desk job does not mean that you can forget about physical fitness all day long.  Your body will tell you when it’s time to turn your head or stretch your fingers but don’t you want to remember to do that before your muscles start cramping up and you’re uncomfortable?  An at work fitness routine will make the days go easier and remind you not to abuse your body.

Simply lifting your fingers from the keyboard and extending them as far as you can will help to prevent finger and knuckle pain.    Tilt your head as far forward as you can bringing your chin to your chest and hold it there for 30 seconds and then stretch your neck so that your head lies on one shoulder and complete the revolution.  You will be amazed at how many neck aches and headaches you can prevent by doing this simple exercise once an hour.

Here’s a generic workout routine that I see a lot in magazines and internet sites, which I don’t personally care for, but here it is:

So What Is The Routine Already?

The obvious answer is: Protein. Red meat, fish, chicken, eggs, even nuts and others help you in the journey towards muscle mass. But there are other foods that work indirectly to help you gain muscle. These foods include leafy green vegetables. By eating these, you will clean out your system and allow for cell repair to happen much faster than with protein alone.

If you have a problem with over eating, here’s a easy tip: eat a handful of peanuts or your favorite nuts 20 minutes before a meal. The oils in the nuts will go to your stomach and make your brain release the chemicals that tell you that you are full. It takes 20 minutes after beginning to eat something, that your brain alerts you that you’re full. But because you can easily eat 2000 calories in under 20 minutes, that 20 minutes is too much time and you would have already over eaten. Follow these tips and you’re sure to reduce fat, repair over worked and stressed cells, and not over eat. It’s simple tips like this that allow phenomenal muscle to grow.

It can be really hard to make yourself go to the gym after a full 8 or 9 hours in the office. Don’t trick yourself into it, don’t guilt yourself into it, start exercising the smart way, and you’ll want to go to the gym every time. Take a note of what you like to do at the gym. Leg presses, arm curls, running? Make that your last exercise and treat yourself to it when you complete all the other aspects of your regime.

Are you the procrastination king or queen? The best way to end that vicious cycle is to stop everything in your life that is a distraction. Turn off your TV or disconnect the cable. Turn off Facebook and hide your cell phone. Unplug from the world and plug into fitness. When you read about how lack of exercise can cause any range of problems from osteoporosis to arthritis and heart disease, you realize how incredibly important it is to make the most of your day, and your life by proper exercise.

As I’m sure you’ve probably found out through trial and error, you can’t build muscle simply by doing anything and everything, at least not in the fastest and most efficient manner. Knowing what the right training and eating program is will get you to your physique goals faster than not. Here’s where our latest article comes into play:

Build Muscle With Proper Instructions

I’m beginning to see a lot of articles in several bodybuilding magazines that are recommending workout programs centered around raising your metabolism, keeping yourself huffing puffing, using explosive movements, etc. These are very good training routines. However, keep in mind what your primary goal is…..muscle building and gaining weight. They enhance the overall physique, however:

One of the very few issues that I have with these types of workouts is that you don’t really get a pump in any particular muscle group. Not that the pump alone is important for muscle building / weight gain purposes, aka hypertrophy, but it is an important piece of the puzzle, none the less. These types of workout are excellent for speeding the metabolism, helping you use muscles you don’t normally, etc., etc., but just realize that for pure size, you’re going to have to tweak them.
