There is such confusion in the gym these days that people who want to know how to build muscle are usually too scared to ask for advice because they can't take the science lesson which it usually brings on. One of the biggest areas people face confusion is working out how many gym sessions they need to do each week in order to experience good results. Today we're going to help you answer this all important question for yourself.
Before you visit your local gym there are a few changes you should make at home in order to ensure your workouts are more productive.
If you are brand new to training you might be worried when you see ultra fit friends who seem to exercise non-stop. Perhaps that's something which has previously put you off the whole idea of getting fitter. You needn't worry, because building a better body is not about torturing yourself on a daily basis.
If you can get to the gym two-to-three times per week you should see positive results within the first four weeks. Especially if you combine cardiovascular exercise with regular weight training. That means you too, girls. Don't buy into the incorrect philosophy that weights will make you huge.
You will begin seeing results after around 3-4 weeks before you hit the next stage of your progress, which we will look at right now.
When you start seeing good results from your training you encounter a phase which will completely change your approach to working out and you need to get this part right if you want to continue your results.
When you reach this stage, people tend to buy into the false philosophy that more equals better. In terms of exercise and fitness, it doesn't work that way.
You do not need to hit the gym every day of the week. If you do then you'll actually notice less improvement than if you took adequate rest periods in between your workouts. That's right, more is not necessarily better.
Hypertrophy cannot occur if you aren't letting your muscles rest after each hard session you complete. This is why most people tend to change their routine to incorporate a split routine instead of hitting all the major muscles during each workout, as this allows them to spend more time on a muscle group as well as letting it recover while they train other body parts in their next session.
If you neglect to take a day off to let a muscle recover before you hit it again you will inevitably just be treading over the same ground for the rest of your training.
Four to five sessions per week is the absolute maximum recommendation for those looking to learn how to build muscle or how to lose weight through effective weights and cardio training. If you find it hard to take a day off once you start seeing good results, think of it as a day of growth rather than a day off.
