When you are trying to build muscle, nearly everyone arrives at the same question: where can we find the best muscle building techniques? It’s a regrettable fact however, like any other field, relating to losing weight too, we have different approaches that apply to each individual.

All people have a distinct body composition and it’s virtually impossible to assume certain muscle building techniques will be effective, for everyone. As opposed to focusing on what other individuals may be doing, you could settle on techniques that’ll succeed perfectly, in respect of your physique.

When you’ve devised the perfect training schedule for building muscle you must decide to be earnest and remain consistent.

Working out only once weekly is going to get you nowhere. You must motivate yourself, and be dedicated; you should expect to exercise no less than three to four times per week in the event that you hope to build muscle.

Many diverse muscle building techniques abound for each muscle of the human body, & all of them hinge on whatever you hope to accomplish. Let me list 3 primary upper body muscles which you must work on; the shoulders, biceps and pectorals.

Obviously, the body contains numerous other muscles to work on, which include your abdominals and triceps. A majority of individuals, when they hit the gym, work out exclusively on chest and upper muscles, simply because that is what others see. It is essential however, that you must, in addition, work on the lower half. You should build your muscles uniformly through the body developing the power that you must have to hold up your upper body uniformly. Your work out regimen has to comprise calf raises, lunges, squats & numerous different leg exercises.

There will always be muscle building techniques that won’t work for all people. Rather than trying to find exercises that are useful for others, spend a moment to assess which muscle building techniques will succeed for you and make them your own. Once you’ve decided which techniques work best for you, it will be easy for you to observe the desired results. Remember, you have an extensive choice of lifts & exercises you could utilize in your training schedule for each muscle in the body.

Also, don’t forget rest, rest is often overlooked by many muscle builders and is a huge factor to gaining more muscles. Without resting you could lose what you’ve worked to hard to build.

You’ve spent months in the gym and have consumed an ungodly amount of calories and yet your muscles don’t have that ripped look you hoped for. What went wrong?

The answer may be simpler than you think.

Now, let me just say one thing before I give you the answer. Competitive bodybuilders have multiple tricks they use to get insanely ripped just before a competition. Maintaining that "insanely ripped" state would be very unhealthy for many different reasons. I’m not going to go into them today, but when you set your muscle building goals, keep them realistic.

Now, muscle definition (getting ripped) is a result of two main things. The first is enlarged muscles. Muscles that have been exercised and strengthened will get bigger and harder. When this happens your skin will start to stretch making your muscle more visible. The bigger your muscles get, the more definition you will see, to a certain extent.

I know what you may be thinking. You can’t get ripped by simply exercising. You’re right. Building muscle is just one half of the puzzle. You can have big muscles and still lack definition if you have a layer of fat covering them up. In order to truly unveil your hard earned muscle you need to burn the fat that hides it.

Yes, you can get some results doing just one or the other, but if you want the best results possible – do both! Big muscles just aren’t as sexy with a layer of fat over them and puny muscles with little fat aren’t all that sexy either.

Depending on where you are now with your muscle building will determine what you need to do now in order to achieve maximum definition. If you feel you already have good size, start with a good fat burning diet and workout program that will allow you to maintain muscle as well.

On the other hand, if you don’t have the size you truly desire, I would recommend staying on a muscle building diet and lifting program and worry about burning the fat later.

"But wait Jim, I have been on a muscle building program for months and have had very little muscle growth. What’s my problem?"

If you are having trouble bulking up or losing fat chances are that you need to find a program that works for you. Not all bodies respond to the same workout and/or diet. You need to identify your body type and find a program that is specific to it for maximum results. How do you do that? Well, that is for another article.

Bottom line – if you want to get ripped, focus on growing your muscles first. When you feel you have your ideal size then burn the fat. You just can’t do them both at the same time (as much as you might like to). Add to that consistent effort and patience and you will have a body you can truly be proud of.

Build, burn, and enjoy the "new" you!

We have all seen them. The huge guys at the gym, lifting huge stacks of plates and grunting and sweating like their head is about to explode. Their arms are busting out of their shirts and their legs look like they belong to a horse… a muscular horse. Who wants to look like that?

This is one of the main reasons that some people, although they want to lost weight and look great, refuse to lift weights. They are scared that picking up the heavy iron will turn them into hulking behemoths that can’t put their arms down by their side. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Lifting weights will not turn you into a bodybuilder overnight. Getting the kind of muscle you see on those big boys in the gym takes years (10-15) of work, incredibly long workouts, and sometimes, a little "help" from a not so natural source… if you get my drift. For most of us, adding weight training into our exercise regimen will do exactly what we want it to. Weight training will help you to lose weight, get in shape, and look better at the beach. You see, for every ounce of muscle you build, your body will speed up its own internal fat burning process. The more muscle you build, the more fat you were burn. Now, muscle DOES weigh more than fat, but don’t let that scare you. I mean, what do you really care about, how much you weight, or what you look like with your shirt off? That is the real test if improving your physique is high on your priority list. Most of us just want to watch the scales and see the pounds come pouring off, but when you are regularly training with weights, this oftentimes does not happen. As you are burning fat, you are building muscle, so your weight may stay the same, but your body may look drastically different. Your clothes will fit better, the people at the office will start to look at your differently and when beach time comes, you will be the first to rip off your shirt!

So, how do you get started with a good weight training program? The last thing you want to do is hit the gym and start blasting out arm curls with absolutely no idea of what you are doing. Weight training is serious business and can be very dangerous. One wrong move and you could wind up lying in bed for 6 months watching your body slip into worse shape than before you started. A solid rule of thumb when beginning to work with weights is to partner up with someone who knows what they are doing. This could be a friend who has lots of experience or better yet, a personal trainer. A qualified personal trainer can walk you through a step by step process of building an effective weight training program that will help you to reach your goals while avoiding injury along the way.

So the next time you think about lifting weights, you may not conjure a vision of a well oiled massive figure posing in tiny trunks; you may see yourself, ripped, in shape, and looking fantastic thanks to your weight training program.
