Building Muscle Tips #6 - How Often Should I Train?

By David V

So how many times a week should you train to build muscle? I'm glad you asked. Most people experience over training in the beginning and they're muscles get sore. Sometimes you'll find that you just don't have enough time to train, or you've got an injury. There are many reasons why it's sometimes hard to get to the gym. Just lack of motivation is common. But I'm sure that after you've seen some results, you'll be busting to get more done every time you train.

Here's the ideal solution. If you're training to gain muscle mass, you only need to train 3 times a week, for about 45-60 minutes. That's it. Surprised? I was when I started. The reason why is because most of the muscle growth occurs AFTER the training session. The actual weight lifting session only needs to be short, but intense.

The weight lifting part of your training program must stimulate the muscles effectively enough to inspire your body to grow. That's all. You want to give it ample reason to grow and repair itself while you're sleeping, working and enjoying your social life.

The best thing about this kind of training is that you're not a slave to the gym. You've now got plenty of time to hang out with your friends, and get your work done. It's really that easy. Get to the gym 3 times a week, work out hard for 45 minutes and lift heavy weights.

When you train like this you'll get big fairly quickly. Give it a try for about 3 months and your friends will start to comment on your massive gains. Don't worry too much about supplements. Just eat good wholesome food and plenty of protein. Make sure you're doing the lifts correctly when you train. Sometimes it's a good idea to consult a professional trainer before you start just so you know exactly how it's done. Last thing you wanna do is get an injury just when you start out. Keep it real!
