Are you having difficulty building muscles and gaining weight time after time again? Or did you experience a sudden stop of muscle growth as compared to when you first started body building?
If you are not experiencing any further muscle growth, I would seriously take a look at the scale of weights that you are working on.
I have seen with my own eyes many body builders and trainers pump in the gym the same amount of weights day after day till months after months.
Even though they may feel satisfied due to the �feel good� workouts and being exhausted after performing different sets of exercises, it is not a good measurement of future muscle growth.
All the pump simply means that there is increased blood flow into your muscle tissues temporarily. Even though there are benefits of getting a few good pumps, you should not judge your workouts by them.
The key on how to build big muscles fast is to add weights to your routines and exercises progressively. This is one of the basic principles and rules you must follow. You really cannot expect to grow bigger muscles if you are using the same scale of weights all over again weeks after weeks.
You�ll have to increase your strength from these weight trainings. Your focus should be to add weights progressively in your routines and exercises every single week.
How you can do it is to have a journal or record down every set or reps, how much weights you have done, and how you should go about increasing your weights every single week. From this, you�ll be able to tell exactly what you need to do for your workouts.
It is definitely a more effective way of working towards your goal instead of just feeling good from pumps in the gym.
One thing about adding weights each week is that you realize that you will hit what is called the sticking point, where your strength will only increase slightly as compared when you first started.
So, one solution is that instead of adding maybe 5 points again next week, continue to perform the same weight until you can complete the full reps that you planned.
You�ll be stronger if you slowly add weights to your workouts as oppose to adding weight too fast and being stuck with the sticking point, sometimes for months.
