Tips for Boosting Muscle Building Results


Want to boost your muscle building results, then here's your fix: Follow these 3 principles to pack on as much as a pound of muscle:

1.Boost muscle building

The greater protein your system stores (In a process referred to as protein synthesis) the larger your muscles will grow. However, your body is constantly draining its protein reserves for other uses, making hormones and performing other vital bodily functions for instance. At the end what you’re stuck with is much less protein intended for muscle building. To deal with that, you have to build and store new proteins faster than your body breaks down old proteins.

2. Consume meat


Aim for about 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, which is close to the maximum amount your body can use each day, according to a landmark research in the Journal of Applied Physiology. (For instance, a 180-pound man should consume 180 grams of protein a day, that’s the equivalent of a 10-ounce chicken breast, 1 cup of cheese, a roast-beef sandwich, two eggs, a large glass of milk, and so on

3.
Eat more

In combination with adequate protein, you will need more calories. The more calories you consume, the better results you will get with your muscle building efforts. Just give yourself ample time – at least 2 weeks— for results to be visible on the bathroom scale. In case you haven't achieved much progress by then, raise your calories by roughly 400 a day and keep adjusting accordingly.
