Tip #1  Optimal Nutrition

Calories For Building Muscle or Losing Weight Before, During and After Gym Workouts

Getting your nutrition in order must be your top priority in order to build a lean and ripped body.

There are so many ways to optimize nutrition, from how many calories your body needs a day to nutritional timing before and after workouts.

On a very basic level and depending on your goals, there are 2 methods of nutrition you need to understand:

1. To gain weight, you need to be in at least a 500 calorie surplus of your maintenance calories.  If your basic metabolic rate for maintaining weight is 2,000 calories that would mean you need to eat 2,500 calories to see any weight gain.  Here’s a FREE muscle building calculator to help you figure this out=>Muscle Building Calculator
2. To lose weight, you need to be in at least a 500 calorie deficit of your maintenance calories.  If your basic metabolic rate for maintaining weight is 2,000 calories that would mean you need to eat 1,500 calories to see any weight loss.  Here’s a FREE fat burning calculator to help you figure this out=>Fat Burning Calculator

The other important aspect to nutrition is when and how to eat food.

Daily Macros For Gaining Weight

• Morning:  Protein/Fat
• 2 Hours Before Training:  Protein/Carb
• During Workout:  BCAA’s/Carb Drink
• 1 Hour After Workout:  Protein/Carb Shake
• 1 Hour After Protein/Carb Shake:  Protein/Carb Meal
• 2 Hours After First Post Meal:  Protein/Carb
• Before Bed:  Protein/Fat

Daily Macros For Losing Weight

• Morning:  Protein/Fat
• 2 Hours Before Training:  Protein/Fat
• During Workout:  BCAA’s
• 1 Hour After Workout:  Protein Shake
• 1 Hour After Protein Shake:  Protein/Carb Meal (50 to 150 grams)
• 2 Hours After First Post Meal:  Protein/Fat
• Before Bed:  Protein/Fat

You may have noticed a couple things with the macros pertaining to the protein shake an hour after your gym workouts.  The supplement industry and muscle building magazines will have you believe that you need a protein shake immediately after the workout.  This is simply not true for a number of reasons.  It would be to much to explain here in this article, but you can read the studies here=>3 studies Debunking The Anabolic Window

Tip #2  The Right Training

Training Based On Muscle Fiber Type

Do you know your muscle fiber type?  Knowing your muscle fiber type can dramatically make the difference in your muscle building physique goals.

I would recommend you click the image below and you’ll be taken to a page where you’ll be able to take a 30 second quiz that will tell you what your muscle fiber type is.

Here are some simple rules to follow when determining your muscle fiber type.

There are 3 main muscle fiber types:

Fast Twitch

• Better at sprinting as opposed to long distance running
• explosive power
• Vertical jump higher than  23 inches
• Less than 7 reps on 80% of your 1 rep max.
• Longer rest periods between sets

Slow Twitch

• Better at marathons or long distance running
• Vertical jump under 17 inches
• More than 7-9 reps on 80% of your 1 rep max
• Shorter rest periods between sets

Mixed

• A combination of the 2 above (Fast and Slow Twitch)

Applying The 3 Mechanisms To Muscle Growth

A 2010 paper in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research by Brad Schoenfeld identified these three mechanisms of rapid muscle growth as – mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage

Most guys who do not know how to optimize all three of these factors (mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage) to muscle growth, end up spinning their wheels and become frustrated as to why they look the same month after month, year after year.

The fact is, muscle needs stimulation to grow.  If you don’t expose your muscle to stress, there’s no driving force for muscle to grow.

The three proven methods below reveal EXACTLY how you can increase your muscle size and strength and incinerate fat… for your best body EVER—while you avoid plateaus caused by crappy and boring workouts that have already failed you in the past…

1. 1.  Mechanical Tension:  Lifting Heavy For 2-6 reps and Resting For 2-5 Minutes Between Sets
2. 2.  Metabolic Stress:  Lifting 80% of Your 1 Rep Max For 8-12 Reps and Resting For 40-90 Seconds Between Sets
3. 3.  Muscle Damage:  Super-Sets, Drop Sets, Intraset Stretching, DRTS, Eccentric’s

Tip #3  Recovery

You are what you can recover from.

If you are not applying the proper nutritional techniques mentioned in this article along with quality sleep, you are leaving a ton of muscle gains on the table.

Sleep is very important to muscle building.  7-8 hours of sleep is recommended for optimal recovery.

Below are a couple more simple techniques you can use to recover fast so you can get back in the gym.

1.  Alternating Cold and Warm Showers.  This is an old technique that will flush out any lactic acid left in the muscle after an intense bout of exercise.  To do this properly, stand under the shower and do 30 seconds cold water followed by 30 seconds warm water.  Do this several times back and forth for about 5 minutes and you’ll be on your way to recovery.
2. Supplement with ZMA’s and Fish Oils.  Both these are great when taken at night before bed.  ZMA’s are simply zinc and magnesium which you lose in your body after working out.  Supplementing with ZMA’s will put back the zinc and magnesium you lost.  Fish oils like krill oil overall is a healthy fat and helps reduce inflammation.  Take a couple (cod oil) before bed with your ZMA’s.
3.   Drink BCAA”s During Workouts.  BCAA’s are essential for muscle building.  You’ll need to take at least 20 grams a day to get any effect from it.  BCAA’s help you during your workouts when you’re breaking down the muscle during intense exercise.
