How Can You Gain Muscle Fast?

Why Do People Fail In The Gym Even When Their Goal Is To Gain Muscle Fast ?
So heres the million-dollar question: Whats the number one reason people
do not work out?
Is it lack of money? Lack of motivation? Perhaps they lack the ideal workout
plan? Nope. Its TIME. Or rather the lack thereof. We know that 50 per cent
of the population doesnt [exercise] and the most commonly cited barrier to
exercise is lack of time. This quote comes from exercise researcher Martin
Gibala, a kinesiology professor at McMaster University in Hamilton.
Gibala put his theory to the test in a study that was published in the
Journal of Physiology. In it Gibala compared a group who exercised
traditionally 90 to 120 minutes per day to enhance their Muscle Building Results with another group exercising far less: Only 20 minutes per day and
only three days per week. Thats a whopping one hour per week folks. Did you
know that Jon Bensons 7 Minute Muscle plan calls for only five 7-minute
workouts with resistance training (weights or bodyweight) plus only 9 minutes
cardio a few days per week? And that actually works? Yeah you bet it does.
If you do the math, thats about an hour per week as well, to Gain Muscle Weight .
This is the Level 1? workout. There are three levels depending on your goals
and exercise tolerance.

Back to Gibalas study: In just two weeks both groups showed improvement in
both exercise performance and oxygen uptake. (Remember, fat burns in the
presence of oxygen.) The kicker is that both groups were almost identical in
their improvement. Why? Because the brief exercise group trained with greater
focus and more intensity exactly how Jon suggests you train.
This is just one of dozens of studies that confirm the benefits of shorter
but more intense workouts. However, there is a catch: Train too hard and you
will shut down your fat-burning furnace.
Your body perceives over-exertion done over an extended period of time as a
sign of pursuit. It can trigger an ancient hormonal sequence that says, Im
being chased by a tiger! Horde the fat! The body literally shuts down what
it considers to be unnecessary activity in favor of self-preservation. And
guess what? Burning off those hips and love handles is not a biological
necessity. You have to learn when to hit it hard AND when to rest and recover.
Finally, you have to put yourself into the proper mental state in order to
see greater results in the shortest period of time. Jon devotes an entire
chapter to putting your mind into your muscle to make gains faster than ever
before in 7 Minute Muscle.

Just remember these three key points:
1. Time is the greatest barrier to fitness.
2. Workouts can be short and very effective.
3. The body goes where the mind directs.
To Gain Muscle Fast , train smart.
