How to grow muscles?

Many people exercise to grow muscles, but growing muscles is not as simple as people imagine. It requires our perseverance and unremitting efforts. So how can we grow muscles? Without exception, you must do physical exercise. What else should you do besides this? Let’s learn about it together. Those who don’t know much about this aspect can read more.

A complete fitness program should include eating (diet), training (training), and sleeping (sleep). Training consists of three main parts: cardiopulmonary, strength, and flexibility. In view of this, the training plan I give is: start with 5-10 minutes of aerobic warm-up, end with 5-10 minutes of stretching and relaxation, and 40-50 minutes of strength training in the middle. The main strength training includes: 1) Back: pull-ups (pull-ups in front of the neck); 2) Chest: flat bench press (seated chest press); 3) Legs: barbell squats (Smith squats); 4) Shoulders: barbell presses (dumbbell presses); 5) Arms: barbell curls (dumbbell curls); 6) Abdomen: sit-ups (sitting leg raises).

Training notes: Train 3 times a week, every other day, for about 1 hour each time, exercise the whole body, one movement for each part, the movements in brackets are reserved, 3 sets of one movement, 8-12 times per set, 2 minutes interval between movements, 30-60 seconds interval between sets, exhale when exerting force, inhale when relaxing, and the movements should be steady and slow. Gradually increasing the weight is necessary to allow the muscles to adapt and respond to training. Use freely adjustable weight machines for training. This allows the muscles to better respond to the resistance created by the machine. Because it allows more muscles to participate in the exercise. When performing the movement, whether lifting or lowering, you must control the movement so that you can concentrate your strength and avoid using leverage.

Diet: Eat small meals frequently, and consume more eggs, milk, and meat in moderation. The daily diet is: moderate protein, less fat, and high carbohydrates. The ratio of the three main nutrients should be about 25:20:55. Staple foods such as steamed bread, noodles, rice, as well as sweet potatoes, oats, potatoes, etc. have very high carbohydrate content and can be used as the first choice. Protein is the most important source of nutrition for muscle growth. Bodybuilders should mainly consume non-fat or low-fat foods, such as skim milk, egg white, fish, skinless poultry, steak, etc.

The above answers the question of how to grow muscles. There are many ways. No matter which method you choose, you must stick to it to see some results. If you do each exercise for three days and rest for two days, then you will not grow any muscles, and you will only waste time and energy.
