How To Build Muscle Fast Without Using Drugs
The age old question asked by many body builders is how can I build massive muscles with out taking steroids or growth hormone, the answer to this is relatively fairly straight forward and not as complex as many magazines would lead you to believe, as these magazines want you to fail and keep purchasing their publications until you find that non existing program that will work for you, also they are there to sell you overpriced hyped up sport supplements telling you this is the best thing since sliced bread.
Any way here goes. Firstly the most important information is that it takes years of hard training before you get an awesome physique so do not get put off by slow progress which could lead you to the path of destruction, that being the use of dangerous and non prescribed drugs sold to you on the promise of super fast gains of quality muscle, the problem with this is that you are not told about the side effecrs that commonly come with the use of these, the worst being death. Growth Hormone and steroids can and will cause cardiac hypertrophy (enlarged heart) which can cause serious heart problems including death, mental disorders, cancer, skin conditions, hormone imbalance, water retention, diabetes and many many more, so think twice before using any drug and in reality for a healhy and longer life just say no.
Right the most important training principal is only use the big multi joint movements as this causes the body to produce more growth hormone than using smaller isolation movements, so deadlifts, squats, bench press, chins, dips, military press, calf raises, stiff legged deadlifts, barbell curls, shoulder shrugs, close gripbench press, french press are the best exercises to stimulate muscle growth.
Secondly having a structured program is very important, a 6 week training cycle is best as on average the human body will adapt to any training program between 4 to 8 weeks.
The best 2 cycles to increase muscle size and power is 6 weeks of between 8 to 12 repetitions and then 6 weeks of 3 to 6 on big movements and 6 to 8 reps on smaller movements.
