Working out is what you like to do. It is a part of your daily routine and for most of us the best way to release our energy and set new goals. No matter if you like to work out for muscle build or just to keep your body fit training must be integrated in your mind as an activity that gives health, amusement and can be a replacement to many bad habits.
For those who aim to build some serious muscle working out is one side of the triangle: Training-resting-nutrition. If you find yourself among those who have managed to follow this triangle patiently and persistently you have probably witnessed results and success.
However, considering that we all make mistakes and nobody is perfect let us give you some working out tips in order to get the maximum out of your training:
1) Work out in Morning Hours
Testosterone levels in your blood are at their highest point during the morning hours. Take advantage of it and maximize the benefits of your workout. In addition, the body can perform better in the morning were its energy “batteries” are filled after your night sleep. Not to mention that the gym will be obviously less crowded.
2) Cancel a Workout if Necessary
A common mistake is going to the gym when not feeling in condition to train. If you feel sick, weak, you have a hangover, or you think you are not physically ready to train then it is better to skip a workout and try to recover for the next time than to force yourself and become even worse.
3) Warm up
Devote at least 15 minutes for warming up in the summer and 25 in the winter. I have often witnessed bad injuries occurring in the gym due to improper warm up. I know you are probably inpatient to hit the weights but don’t risk it. Doing some bicycle or treadmill for a while will increase the blood flow in your muscles and help you lift more.
4) Keep it Brief and Intense
Keep in mind that the best workout is the one that lasts somewhere between 45 minutes to an hour the most. Increase the intensity of your workout and rest between the sets for 40-45 seconds. After you are done you will feel exhausted and pumped way more than you would if you stayed in the gym for hours.
5) Muscle Recovery Supplements
For those who want to build some serious muscle, post workout supplementation is crucial. Whey Protein, BCAAs or creatine are most beneficial if in taken directly after workout. Besides the hard training, your muscles need the right nutrients to recover and regenerate. The first 30 minutes after completing your workout is the right time to consume muscle recovery supplements.
6) Rest Properly
Always leave two days between each muscle part workout. Resting is the third side of the success triangle I mentioned above. Getting enough sleep is crucial for the muscle regeneration process since human Growth Hormone is being released during sleeping time.
So, continue training hard but always remember to correct workout mistakes.
Follow those six working out tips in order to make the best out of your time in the gym.
Keep those muscles pumping!
