There are lots of muscle building programs out there, and chances are, you want to gain muscle as quickly as you can. Most often, the rule of thumb is, “More is better.” In other words, practice more, and you’ll get better at what you do with better results. However, with gaining muscle, most of us need to be working out less, not more.

Think about this. Pick up a magazine devoted to bodybuilding and you will probably see bodybuilders telling you that you have to train like them, every day of the week. Those big, bulging muscles don’t lie, right? So we might think we have to do the same thing to get the same results.

However, for most of us, this is not true. Those who are in bodybuilding professionally have an advantage over the rest of us, which is to say that they have a genetic predisposition to build muscle, so that they can do these very intensive muscle building workouts without a break. They don’t need a lot of rest to recover after they train, but that’s not true for most of us.

If you really want to gain muscle and you’re just the “average guy,” you’ll need to do something different to get the muscles you want. Instead of training more, train less.

You should begin to see results in about eight weeks if you follow just a couple of simple rules.

1. First, watch the amount of weight you are lifting. It should be challenging but not exhausting to the point that you’re going to hurt yourself. In addition, do exercises that are going to hit several larger muscle groups at once. Squats are good for this, as one example.

2. Additionally, train just a couple of times a week, perhaps three or four days if you feel up to it. At minimum, though, take a day off between workouts and focus on how you feel. When you train intensely, you are in essence retraining your nervous system, not just your muscles. So even if your muscles recover, your nervous system may not have.

If your nervous system hasn’t recovered, you’re not going to do any good with further training and in fact may give yourself a setback; that’s because if you haven’t let your nervous system recover, it’s not going to be able to cope right. Give it time to catch up. If you don’t recover, you can’t build muscle. Try this; after your training session, take a day, two days, even three days off as a break. See how you feel and don’t overdo it, but so keep challenging yourself moderately and within limits.

If you try this for a short time and go back to the old way of training because you think the above doesn’t work, think again. If you’ve been using other workout programs and haven’t found them effective enough, try something different. Maybe it’s time to look at things in a different way.
