You can build muscle mass by repeating exercises a lot and taking breaks in between sets. You can start with short sets and work out for longer periods of time as you get stronger. You should wait a few minutes in between sets to give your muscles time to heal before the next set. Do not overdo it; you can give a muscle group a longer break by targeting another area before coming back to your first set.

Choose one training program and keep it up. You may not be confident that a certain program is working, but you could be impatient. Give your regimen a chance to work before you decide that it's not for you. Let your muscles get used to working the same program and you may see the results you want.

A great way to build muscle is to pay close attention to nutrition, and eat a good amount of protein and carbohydrates. By eating every two hours, and ensuring you get no less than 1.5 grams of protein for each pound of your own weight and no less than 2 grams of carbohydrates per pound. You will have the nutritional tools necessary to build muscle.

If you are going to use creatine supplements to assist with your muscle gain, you should use caution especially when taking them for an extended period of time. These supplements should not be used if you have kidney problems. In addition, they have been known to cause muscle compartment syndrome, heart arrhythmia, and muscle cramps. Adolescents are particularly at risk. Make certain that you are taking these supplements in their recommended safe quantities.

You should adapt your diet. You will probably feel hungry after working out, but this is not an excuse to overeat or go to a fast food restaurant. Do some research about nutrition to learn more about the four food groups. Your diet should be healthy and balanced, but you can increase your muscle mass by eating more proteins and carbs. Eat plenty of red meat, fish, poultry, beans, nuts and replace your usual bread and pasta with whole wheat products. Do not hesitate to take multivitamin supplements if you need more energy to work out.

You can have those gigantic guns in no time if you keep working at it hard. Remember these tips, and take the time to keep researching and learning more as you build your muscle building plan.
