How To Build Maximum Muscle In Minimum Time

By Howe Russ


Most folks at the gym would like to discover how to build muscle as quickly and effectively as possible. Today's post will teach you how to get a six pack in 3 minutes per day and also how to apply the same rules to build other areas of the body in double quick time.

Thanks to the discovery of HIIT, the days where people used to spend over 2 hours per day in the gym should be long gone. However, many are still stuck in that mentality. If that's you, then you are about to open a door to a whole new world of training. []

The levels of variety and intensity are the two most important factors within any solid training program. Variety simply means challenging the body in ways it's not used to. You could simply swap low reps for high reps, or perform exercises in a different order than usual.

Most gym users hit a plateau due to a lack of variety within their program. This comes from doing a program that works initially and provides good results, causing the gym user to want to stick to it, only to find that results begin to slow down over time. It doesn't mean you are no longer working hard in the gym, it simply means your body has adapted to your program, it knows what to expect.

So the first step here is to ensure you never repeat the exact same workout from this point forwards. Even if the changes are quite small, they will still generate fresh progress.

A lot of people misunderstand the meaning of the word intensity. They often presume it means working out really quickly, sacrificing form and technique for speed. This is not the case. Intensity means keeping your heart rate elevated. There are numerous fat loss benefits to doing this, as well as other benefits too. Your actual exercise is still performed slowly and controlled throughout, getting the absolute most out of each contraction you do. Intensity comes into play when you drop the weights at the end of each set. Rather than sitting there talking to other gym users while you wait for your next set to begin, watch the clock. After just thirty seconds, begin the next set.

The two main reasons fitness enthusiasts hit plateaus are a lack of intensity and variety. If you can get one, or even both, in check then you will notice a new batch of results in next to no time.

To put this into context with a routine designed to focus on your abdominal area, try this simple but brutal workout today: []

* Sit Up

* Plank Push Up

* Elevated Plank

It might look easy on paper, but it is not to be underestimated. Try moving from exercise-to-exercise with 30 seconds on each movement and no rest at all. Take a 60 second breather at the end of the circuit and then start over. Two rounds would only take 3 minutes, but it will really test your fitness levels.

Learning how to build muscle isn't rocket science, despite the many myths which surround the topic. The simple workout given here will teach you the basics of how to get a six pack in 3 minutes with a quick blast of high intensity circuit training. Try applying these methods to other body parts when you perform your next workout and you'll notice how much the difficulty increases.
