Gentlemen dream of a muscular body, broad shoulders and big biceps, while ladies usually strive for a leaner frame and sexy curves. Gaining some muscle mass is the way to achieve a more toned and attractive body, even for ladies, who can easily maintain their feminine charm. But building muscle <\/span><b>requires time, patience, and long-term consistency.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper<\/span><b> nutrition has to go hand in hand with training and regeneration time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

That&#8217;s not good. In order to fulfil your goals, you&#8217;ll certainly need to <\/span><b>take in a lot more energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which should be spread out rationally throughout your day. The amount itself is something you&#8217;ve already figured out with our online calculator. But what do you do with the number? Thing is, when you don&#8217;t eat enough, and receive too little energy,<\/span><b> your body produces less new muscle protein.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process can tip over to the point at which anabolic processes (production of new muscle protein) becomes outweighed by catabolic processes (short-term breakdown of protein). The production and breakdown of muscle protein is a natural cycle, the long-term <\/span><b>result of which is either the gain or loss of muscle mass<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To make sure anabolic processes outweigh the catabolic processes, you have to increase your energy and protein intake. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff6600;\">[6]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s generally recommended to eat <\/span><b>more meals a day, depending on your preferences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A nutrition plan that involves<\/span><b> five to six well-balanced meals a day<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are particularly popular. In order to grow muscle, it is therefore more suitable to up the frequency of your meals. Eating 5 to 6 meals a day<\/span><b> every 3 to 4 hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might be a good starting point for finding your way. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If, however, you adhere to a specific low-frequency eating plan, such as the popular<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/a-complete-guide-to-intermittent-fasting\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">intermittent fasting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, make sure your calorie intake is sufficient. All in all, keep listening to your body, check whether you&#8217;re taking in enough calories and check whether you don&#8217;t feel needlessly tired after larger meals. Figuring out the frequency of meals is a game you&#8217;ll need to play until you find the optimum solution for your own body. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff6600;\">[7]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Make_sure_you_eat_enough_protein\"><\/span>3.

Protein intake also stimulates further muscle protein synthesis occurring naturally in your body. MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) is a process of production, renewal and growth of muscle protein. It works in cycles and reacts to your training and nutrition. In order for it to run as smoothly as possible, it is crucial that your <strong>protein intake is high enough<\/strong>. The proper intake amount of protein depends on many factors, such as your age, body weight, goals, and the intensity of your physical activity.&nbsp; <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[8\u2013\u20609]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to grow and maintain your muscle mass, you need to maintain a positive muscle protein balance. General recommendations for strength athletes place the proper protein intake rate at about<\/span><b> 1.4 &#8211; 2 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (BW)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This should be enough for every physically active individual. The recommendation is sometimes expanded to <strong>1.6 &#8211; 2.2 g\/ kg of BW<\/strong>.

It takes up particular importance before and after your workouts. Your pre-workout meal will determine <strong>whether you&#8217;ll have enough energy<\/strong> to derive maximum benefits from every individual training. <strong>Timing plays a key role too.<\/strong> If you eat too early before your workout, you might end up not having enough energy during the training itself. Conversely, if your meal is too close to your training session, you might end up feeling full and tired, since your body is busy investing its energy into digesting. Either one of these cases might make your workout less fun and effective. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[10]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.sk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC08838-751x1124.jpg\" alt=\"Don't forget about the quality nutrition before and after your workout\" class=\"wp-image-307169\" title=\"Don't forget about the quality nutrition before and after your workout\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC08838-751x1124.jpg 751w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC08838-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC08838-1026x1536.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC08838-1368x2048.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC08838-scaled.jpg 1710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Most people find the ideal time to <strong>eat a larger meal containing all macronutrients about 2 to 3 hours before the workout<\/strong>.

Use nutritional supplements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutritional supplements are one of the key tools that will help you make your workouts even more effective. Below, we&#8217;ll introduce three basic supplement types designed to boost your efforts in building muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">1. Gainers and all-in-one blends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to build muscle, you have to take in more energy than your body is going to burn through (about  10 to 20 % more). The necessary calorie surplus will naturally come from the food you eat. However, this isn&#8217;t always so easy, no matter how hard you try. The struggle needs no introduction to those of us who have a hard time gaining even just a pound of muscle mass. Furthermore, there always come days, when you simply don&#8217;t have the time to grab a rich and nutritious lunch or dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there are days when your energy expenditure gets so high you simply don&#8217;t manage to cover it with regular solid food meals. This gap can be bridged by using a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/gainers\">gainer<\/a><\/strong><strong style=\"text-align: inherit;\"> or a good quality <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/all-in-one\">all-in-one blend<\/a>,<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: inherit;\">&nbsp;which <strong>can cover the excessive energy demands of an exceptionally hard training<\/strong>. These products are <strong>particularly rich in&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"text-align: inherit;\"><b>carbohydrates,<\/b><\/span><span style=\"text-align: inherit;\"> which function as a fuel, and impact the activity of insulin, the so-called anabolic hormone.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another crucial ingredient of a high quality gainer is usually p<strong>rotein, which is overall important for growth and maintenance of muscle mass<\/strong>. A gainer can contain further ingredients, such as vitamins, enzymes etc. A<strong> typical serving of a gainer is about 500 kcal<\/strong>, and you can always adjust it according to your needs. All in all, using gainers is a simple and convenient way of adding extra calories and important nutrients to your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another option is using a high quality all-in-one blend, <\/strong>or a complex source of macro and micronutrient. Gainers and all-in-one blends can be used specifically after your workouts, but also anytime throughout your day, in case you simply don&#8217;t have enough time to sit down for a solid meal. Always follow the instructions and recommended use found on the packaging of the particular product you&#8217;re using.&nbsp; <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[13]<\/span>\nTo pick the right gainer for you, check out our article <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-pick-the-best-gainer-for-muscle-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>How to Choose the Best Gainer for Muscle Growth?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">2.

Its main task is to <strong>help your muscles produce the energy necessary for demanding training,&nbsp;<\/strong>whether it is heavy lifting or intense workout. In this way, it contributes to the process of muscle building. Creatine comes in a variety of forms that <strong>vary somewhat in their ingredients and solubility<\/strong>. The most intensely studied variety is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/creatine-monohydrate-gymbeam.html\">monohydrate<\/a><\/strong><b>, which is also considered to be the most effective. <\/b>Recommended intake of creatine ranges between <strong>3 and 5&nbsp;grams<\/strong> <strong>a day<\/strong>, long term, with no breaks necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you consider using creatine in your diet, make sure you check out our article on <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-best-creatine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>How to Choose the Best Creaine Supplement?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Stick_to_your_training_plan\"><\/span>6.

They either visit the gym only twice a week and expect to grow muscles like Thor himself, or over-motivate themselves to spend hours in the gym every single day. Neither one of these is going to work for you. Studies show that ideally you should work out <strong>3 to 5 times a week for optimum results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Always schedule your trainings as if they were priority business meetings. Naturally, your time constrains are a significant factor, and working out &#8220;only&#8221; three times a week will not spoil your results. Ideally, you should <strong>combine large and small muscle groups<\/strong> within a single session, and keep them on rotation, exercising each muscle group every three days on average. If your trainings are full-body focused, you can do them, for example on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In case you divide your workouts into muscle group days, alternate two workouts for upper and one for lower body every week.&nbsp; <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[14]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.sk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Outfit-5-1124x750.jpg\" alt=\"Stick to your training plan\" class=\"wp-image-307207\" style=\"width:843px;height:563px\" title=\"Stick to your training plan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Outfit-5-1124x750.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Outfit-5-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Outfit-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Outfit-5-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Your training plan is ultimately your own decision, and everybody is different.

Use compound exercises in your training routine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your training plan should involve compound exercises, such as <b>squats, bench-press or deadlift, <\/b>the correct execution of which involves<strong> the work of several joints at the same time<\/strong>. Squats, for example, involve knees, ankles, and hips. Other compound exercises include lunges, lifts, push-ups or step-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you involve <strong>more muscles<\/strong> in any particular exercise, you can <strong>work on each muscle group and use your training time to grow functional strength and muscle growth<\/strong>. Such approach is more complex and in result more effective than sticking to workouts that target isolated muscle groups only.&nbsp; Ideally, you should be combining these compound exercises with series of isolated muscle exercises. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[15]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Select_the_right_intensity_and_repetitions_for_your_workouts\"><\/span>8. Select the right intensity and repetitions for your workouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RM (Repetition Maximum) denotes the <strong>maximum intensity you are capable of performing a particular exercise with while maintaining the correct technique<\/strong>. &nbsp;When doing strength training, your RM (maximum weight on your dumbbell or barbell) should range somewhere in between 60 to 85 %. To assure maximum muscle hypertrophy, it is also important to set up a correct number of repetitions. A good starting point is to go for <strong>4\u2013\u206012 reps per a set with 60\u2013\u206085 % of 1RM.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know what your individual 1RM value is, you can select an adequate intensity, which will maximize the effectiveness of each workout. Say your bench-press RM is 100 kg. This means you should be working with weights between 60\u2013\u206085 kg and push the amount of reps close to the failure. Your <strong>1RM value <\/strong>can be determined simply by <strong>trying a variety of weights<\/strong> and figuring out whether you&#8217;re capable of executing technically correct exercises.

If you haven&#8217;t changed up your routine for a few months, your advance might stagnate. You can avoid this by changing up your training plan and creating a stronger impulse for further muscle growth. This is done by employing the <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/with-muscle-confusion-can-we-gain-muscle-faster-or-lose-weight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>principle of progressive overload<\/strong><\/a><b>, which dictates shortening of the rest times in between series, maintaining your muscles under tension for a longer time (i.e. increasing TUT = time under tension) and increasing the number of reps per a set.&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, the application of this principle means you keep pushing your limits by adding one or two <strong>extra repetitions<\/strong> into your set, or <strong>adding more weights<\/strong> on your dumbbells or barbell. The principle of progressive overload has been under the scrutiny of numerous studies. One of these, from 2011, observed 83 participants over the span of 12 weeks, as they performed exercises for arms strength.
