Looking to add a few pounds of lean mass to your client? While most of our clients are looking to shed a few pounds, most (male) trainers are endlessly trying to add ten pounds of lean mass to their bulk. Here are a few tips to help you and the rare client who wants to bulk up.
1. To gain mass you need to eat more than your body requires to maintain its normal functions. You must eat 500 to 1000 extra calories a day to persuade the body to gain more muscle mass.
2. You can wait longer between meals, but do you constantly want to be in
an anabolic phase? Your blood sugar should not sink too low, but it will
if you do not eat every 3 to 4 hours. It does not have to be a proper
meal each time you eat. A quick meal or a protein-drink will be enough.
3. Choose between building muscle or burning fat, it is very hard to do this at the same time.
4. Just like exercise, he body can become accustomed to a certain diet and your development will stagnate. Do not let the body become accustomed to your diet.
5. Do not train more than three days in a row. Some who really want to gain
muscle will only train two or even one day at a time.
6. Change your training program every two months. Do not let the muscles
adapt to the same routine.
7. To train without a goal is meaningless. It is not only more fun to train with a goal, your progress will also increase faster. You will be more motivated and you will train and attend to your diet perfectly. |
