How to build muscle quickly

It is actually not difficult to quickly build strong muscles. For example, you can build arm muscles through traditional barbell bench presses, or you can build leg muscles through weighted leg raises. The methods are very simple, and the key is persistence. For some people, their exercise is intermittent, which has no effect at all. Moreover, the exercise consumes the body's energy, which increases the appetite, and finally leads to fat accumulation and weight gain.

It is very difficult to do bench presses or flyes with heavy dumbbells. Under normal circumstances, if the weight of the bench press reaches 60 kg and 8 to 10 times are done in each set, the chest circumference can be trained to 95 cm. If you use 100 kg for training, your chest circumference will exceed 100 cm and reach 120 cm.

When doing barbell and dumbbell exercises, the muscles being trained are mainly affected by factors such as the weight of the bar, the way of holding the bar, the grip distance, the lifting angle, the lifting speed and the number of sets.

The bar diameter of the bench press barbell should be slightly thicker, with an outer diameter of 35-40 mm and a wall thickness of 2.5-3.0 mm. A thicker lever can reduce the unit pressure on the palm, increase the force-bearing area, and facilitate pushing the arm up. The distance from the grip to the bell plate should be short, about 100 mm, so that the weight (force) is concentrated on the vertical plane close to the pectoral muscles and the generation of force couple can be reduced.

The lever must be raised and lowered in the area of ​​the chest muscles being trained (from the diaphragm down to the clavicle up). The chest should be trained from bottom to top and from wide to narrow, that is, first train the lower chest (lying on the side), then train the middle chest (lying flat), and finally train the upper chest (lying on the side). First, use a wide grip, then a medium grip, and finally a narrow grip. Using a wide grip bar will train the width of your chest muscles, while using a narrow grip bar will train the height (thickness) of your chest muscles.

As for the bench press, a short bench is used for the incline bench press (20-30 degrees) and the flat bench press. When pressing, only the upper back touches the bench surface, which can make the chest stand up and increase the unit pressure. Using a seated curved bench (30-45 degrees) for the incline bench press can lift the upper chest and make it horizontal, allowing the barbell to act vertically on the upper chest muscles.

The breathing during the bench press can also serve the purpose of exercising the body's muscles. However, there is a little trick to this kind of exercise, which is to inhale when you exert force, and exhale when you relax. The breathing and exercise rhythm should be coordinated with each other so that the body's blood vessels can get enough oxygen supply, which can quickly consume fat and make muscles tighter.
