Many people wonder whether they will ever be able to achieve the body of their dreams, or whether they are destined to always have a mediocre physique.
Well, these tips will make sure that you get your dream body quicker than you could have ever expected!
It’s no secret that building an impressive physique takes a lot of hard work, but it is also about making the correct decisions in your diet and training program. If you want that body that you are constantly thinking about, you should definitely read this entire article!
Tip 1: Eat for the Body You Want
Many people think that nutrition should be the same for everyone, but this couldn’t be further form the truth.
Although I will always advocate for eating natural, organic, whole foods- some people can benefit from eating sugary desserts regularly!
If you are a person who is looking to put on a large amount of muscle since you have been skinny your whole life, eating pop tarts and ice cream can do you some good! People who are more focused on building muscle mass need to substantially increase their calorie intake per day, and eating sugar filled foods is one of the easiest ways to do this.
If your goal is to burn a lot of fat off your body, you’re going to want to avoid these foods at all costs.
Before you start your journey to your dream body, you need to understand how to eat for your goals!
Tip 2: Try a New Training Style
Is your training routine normally consisting of 3 sets of 10 repetitions on only a couple different exercises?
Well, there are a lot of other training styles that could be very effective for you!
CrossFit workouts have been very effective for a lot of people trying to burn fat, or build muscle. However, CrossFit can be dangerous for untrained individuals.
One of my personal favorite types of training is Escalating Density Training.
Escalating Density Training is an excellent high-intensity training style that can help you burn fat and build muscle, but is less dangerous that traditional CrossFit Workouts.
Most EDT workouts consists of doing 2 different exercises for as many reps as possible, over the course of 10-15 minutes.
The goal of this training style is to increase the amount of “work” done each training session, by adding additional repetitions or weight in each training session.
It is simple, but very effective!
When you look at someone like The Rock, you can be sure that they are using some sort of high intensity training such as Escalating Density Training.
Before you ask yourself “is The Rock on steroids,” you need to compare your workout strategy with his!
Tip 3: Supplement Smart!
You don’t need anabolic steroids or any dangerous medications to help you lose muscle, traditional bodybuilding supplements can be very effective for you!
Examples of supplements that are well-known to aid with muscle building are whey protein, creatine monohydrate, branch chain amino acids, citrulline malate, and L-Glutamine.
These supplements are naturally occurring compounds, and can be extremely helpful in your daily routine.
My advice on how to use these supplements is:
- Start your morning with 1 scoop of whey protein or plant based protein. This should be about 20-30 grams of protein at a time.
- Drink 10 grams of branch chain amino acids, 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, and 6 grams of citrulline malate before training. You can also add a supplement containing caffeine before your workout to increase training capacity and focus.
- Drink 1 more scoop of whey protein or plant based protein powder after training, along with an additional 5-10 grams of l-glutamine.
This might seem like a simple strategy, and that’s because it is!
However, grouping these supplements together will have incredible effects on your body!
There is a huge amount of information on the internet about different muscle building supplements, but these simple supplements work as well as any others!
Before you waste a lot of money on expensive products which may or may not work for you, I suggest you start with this supplement routine for at least 8 weeks.
After 8 weeks of intense training and proper supplementation, you will be closer to your dream body than you could have ever expected!
