There is a lot of information out there regarding
how to lose fat but
gain muscle mass at the same
time, and while some of it works, a lot of it is
just junk and really won't get you the results you
want. Here are some of the best kept body building
secrets.
Secret #1 Supplements
Yes you hear me right, supplements work. You just
need to find a balance of the good ones. Since you
are trying to lose weight, I would recommend a good
fat burner with caffeine. This is known to increase
your heart rate and speed up your metabolism.
The second supplement I recommend is creatine. A
good creatine blend will speed up your recovery and
build your muscles much faster than without one.
Third, who can forget a good protein mix shake?
In order to save on your liquids, try to find a good
protein and creating mix. This will help restore
your muscles after a hard workout.
When looking for a supplement, make sure you are
selecting ones that have a track record and have
been around for at least 3 years.
Secret #2 Weight Lifting
You want you build muscle? Then you need to
weight lift. Go for full body workouts and do it for
3 to 4 days a week. Unless you are born with super
genetics, I wouldn't recommend doing any more than
that because your body won't recover in time you
will be wasting your time.
In addition, go for a 5% increase in strength
every 2 weeks. Always measure your progress and make
sure you are writing down what you are lifting. It
doesn't matter what you look like at the gym with a
pad and paper if you are bigger and more ripped than
everyone else.
Secret #3 Cardio
This is the one that most people don't do. We all
hate it, but if you want a ripped lean body then you
need to do it. Go for 20-30 minutes a day If you are
already in good shape but want that ripped look.
However, if you are trying to lose a lot of
weight and build muscle at the same time; then go
for 1 hour a day. Alternate your cardio with
interval and slow motion to keep your body guessing.
This will set your body into burn mode.
