Exercise To Build Muscle Mass

Everyone goes through a period of time where they get great results and then they hit a plateau. For a while you are doing well, gaining strength, losing fat and starting to look like you might get lean and hard. Then, one day, you find that your strength has decreased or you have added a couple of pounds. This happens to everyone at one stage or another, particularly if you stock to the same old workout. Shaking loose of this plateau is part of manipulating your training variables. If you want to exercise to build muscle muscle mass and ose fat, you need to introduce several new initiatives to stimulate new results.

There are several ways to modify your training variables to exercise to build muscle mass naturally and lose excess fat. Most people have limited imagination and confine their workout variability to modifying the number of sets and repetitions. However, there are many other ways to stimulate results including: changing exercise sequence, super setting or tri-setting exercises and rotating machine and free weight exercises. To turbo charge your workouts, try incorporating compound movements that work the large muscle groups such as squats, bent over rows, power cleans and deadlifts. You can even reduce the rest between sets and workout with group rotations by performing sets of three exercises, resting and then completing the group rotation again.

There are many different ways to exercise to build muscle mass and lose excess fat. Once you start to experiment, you will find new and creative ways to stimulate results. The following represents some suggestions to take your training to a new level.
Try doing six sets using a heavier weight and doing six sets of 6 reps with a three minute treadmill sprint in between.

Do 10 sets with maximum weight for one repetition with 30 seconds rest in between.

Try doing one set of 50 repetitions for each exercise.

Incorporate 10 sets of 3 with 20 seconds rest in between sets.

Try a workout where you select multi-joint exercises such as barbell clean and presses or dumbbell squat and presses and do nothing but that exercise for an intense 20 minutes.
Try a workout to build muscle that uses only bodyweight based exercises such as chin-ups, dips, pull-ups, pushups, lunges and bodyweight squats.

Do a circuit of 12 different exercises that works the full body without any rest in between. Next workout, do the same set of exercises in reverse order.

Design a workout and then perform the repetitions at maximum speed. Next workout do the same exercises at a very slow pace concentrating on muscle contraction.

For one week, complete your workouts in 30 minutes and do 5 sessions. The next week, do 3 1- hour workouts. Try do sets to complete failure, dropping the weight and continuing until you hit complete failure again (usually 5-6 sets in a row).
