There really is so much information out there regarding muscle building. It can sometimes be difficult to know where to start if your just a beginner, well i've got 5 points which will kickstart you to achieving your ultimate physique.

1) Train With Weights and Focus On Compound, Free Weight Movements.

If you want to make solid, noteworthy gains in muscle size and strength, you absolutely must train with free weights and focus on basic, compound exercises. Compound exercises are will allow you to handle the most weight and will work multiple muscle fibres. Examples of these lifts are the squat, deadlift, bench press, chin up, barbell row, overhead press, dip and lunge.

2) Avoid Overtraining.

Over training is the biggest thing you wanna avoid when it comes to gaining muscle and get ripped. People get the impression that doing more is going to help them but it is actually the opposite because if you train too hard you can do a lot damage to yourself. The more time you spend in the gym the farther you are away from your goals because your muscle can only repair when your away from the gym. For instance when you are resting and eating.

3) Eat More Frequently.

Another key area where people fail miserably on the muscle building mission is not providing enough nutrients. Being in the gym is only half of the task because if you don't provide proper nutrition your muscle growth just won't happen. You should be eating 5 or 6 times a day with 2-3 hours gaps. These meals must consist of high protein and complex carbs.

4)Increase Your Water Intake.

A really effective way to maximise muscle gains is to drink plenty of water and keep hydrated. Muscles are made up over 70% water! Research has shown that merely a 3-4% drop in your body's water levels can impact muscle contractions by 10-20%!

5)Be Consistent.

Consistentency is key. Simple. For those who do not implement and stick to programs and daily routines simply will not succeed. Simply knowing what to do is not enough. You could be an expert in this area but if you don't apply you'll never achieve what you set out to do. That goes for anything you try! Sure you may think that a couple of extra reps and small proteins won't make a difference there and then, but over time if you stick to it you will reap the rewards.
