How To Gain Muscle Mass Fast!

If  you want to gain muscle mass fast, you need to make sure that you have your bodybuilding diet lined out.  While some experts suggest that nutrition alone can account for up to 80% or your muscle building results, I disagree.  I think that bodybuilding nutrition is actually more important to the muscle building process than that.

Here’s my take.  If you don’t eat the right combinations of the right foods at the right times throughout the day, you won’t build 1 ounce of muscle mass. It just doesn’t matter how “intense” you workout was or how many bodybuilding supplements you crammed down your throat. If you don’t get your nutrition right form the start – you’re setting yourself up for disappointment down the road.

I’m not sure exactly where I read this and I’m sure I’m butchering it, but here it goes…

“There is no one single important factor for muscle growth.  Nutrition is not more important than adequate hydration, adequate hydration is not more important than, performing the right types of growth stimulating workouts, great workouts are not more important than attention to rest and recovery and on and on and on….”

The point is this – If you are deficient in even 1 area of you muscle building plan, you will not build muscle mass plain and simple!

Here’s a basic outline for a solid growth fueling muscle building diet…

1.) Eat 1 -2 grams of protein per pound of body weight.  While this suggestion is not as popular these days, it’s a great place to start.

2.) Eat 5 -6 smaller nutritinet dense meals (carbs, protein, fat, veggies)  spaced out every 2 – 3 hours throughout the day.

3.) Drink a minimum of 1 gallon of pure H2o each and every day.

4.) Eat a post workout meal within 20 minutes of completing your weight training workouts.

5.) Don’t stop eating carbs!  They give you the energy that you need to get through your workouts.  Just focus on eating the right types of carbs – whole grains, oats, yams, potatoes etc.  Stay away from breads and white flour.

6.) Learn about fats and incorporate more of the “heart healthy” variety into your diet.  Fat is extremely important for muscle growth, but too much can be a problem.

6.) Give yourself 1 day a week to eat what ever you want!

If you’re having a hard time gaining muscle mass, take a long hard look at your bodybuilding diet.  If you’re not already, incorporate these tips into your nutritional strategy and get to work.  You’ll be surprised just how far the basics of bodybuilding nutrition can take you!
