Do You Make These Muscle Building Mistakes When Trying To Build Size And Gain Muscle Mass Fast?

Bodybuilding, at least in recent years, is a pretty positive thing. Most of the paths have been well explored and charted. Years ago bodybuilding failures ran high. More trainees failed, in fact, than succeeded.

Guys beat their brains out for years and never got their arms past fifteen, or their chests past forty. But today any trainee can make good progress. Everyone can’t be Mr Olympia, of course, but everyone can build a strong, shapely, herculean body. And most of all, everyone can gain weight and build muscle.

There’s no excuse for staying thin. If you’re trying to gain weight and you’re having trouble doing so, then you’re doing something wrong and it’s as simple as that. If your gains aren’t coming, then you’re making one or more of several clearly defined mistakes.

Probably the most common mistake in bodybuilding, and the one you’re most likely to be making, is frittering away your energy on a multitude of projects. Versatility is a great thing in most endeavors. It’s a positive asset if you’re a professional handyman. But it’s no help in bodybuilding, and particularly not if you’re a hard gainer.

A lot depends, of course, on how much you want to accomplish. Almost any form of training will develop you a little bit, but if you want to gain a lot of weight, if you want to really bulk up, then you’ve got to dedicate yourself to that goal. You’ve got to channel all your energy into adding pound after pound of good, solid muscle to your body.

Gaining a lot of muscle and weight in a hurry is clearly a form of specialization. You must realize this. If you want to add twenty, thirty or forty pounds of muscle, then you’ve got to put your mind to it. You’ve got to dedicate yourself. You’ve got to make a few sacrifices. You’ve got to conserve your energy and direct it towards a great and rapid increase in muscular bulk.

If you’re dashing around and doing the million and one things that burn up energy then you’re making a big mistake. Don’t forget that gaining weight is specialization, and during the period of specialization you’ve got to restrict your outside activities. You can do anything you want to after you gain the weight, but while you’re gaining it you’ve got to devote yourself to that one basic purpose.

The principle of getting as “lazy” as possible when not working out in the gym, and for a short period of time while trying to gain muscle mass, isn’t new. The idea of conserving your energy has been around a long, long time. The old timers, in fact, had a saying that became almost cliche. “Never run when you can walk”, they said. “Never walk when you can ride. Never stand when you can sit. Never sit when you can lie down.”

Once you decide to give this “lazy” routine an honest try, you can figure on a few nice things happening to you. You can plan on a tremendous surge in your energy supply, greatly increased training enthusiasm, a whole new outlook on living, and, most of all, a big boost in your muscular body weight.
