How to build muscle fast with this tough (but fair) workout

Many trainees want to  build a lot of muscle fast (like in a month or less!)

This sort of program is far better for the advanced bodybuilder who wants to build up just a little bit of an edge before a competition (or before beach week!) than it is for the novice weightlifter. Though it’s definitely possible to do this — but it’s not for everyone…

Before we begin — the standard advice about consulting with a physician before starting any rigorous workout regimen definitely applies here — but, if you feel the need to try to gain some fast muscle mass  in a matter of weeks, you might want to give this routine a good try.

This is going to be a tough workout, but will yield noticeable results within a VERY short time. Also, you want to remember to warm up before you do these exercises — the best way would be not only to warm up but also to do a couple reps with 50% the weight you’re gonna do in the sets themselves before you go through the routine. The last thing you want to do is injure yourself!

Here’s the workout

Do: Barbell Bicep Curls, Tri-cep Extensions, Weighted Pull-ups, Leg Extensions, Dumbbell Pullovers, Seated Rows Bench Presses, Squats, Leg Curls, Barbell Overhead Shoulder Presses,  and Weighted Dips — and do 10 reps each of each of those exercises

And 12-15 each of: Standing Calf Lifts and Ab Crunches

Whew! I’m feeling a little tired just looking at these!

Get in and Get out with this routine!

For optimal results, this should take less than an hour including warm up. Why? To maximize your workout before cortisol levels build too high (45-50 minutes). You get the best results during the first 45 minutes or so of your workout, so make the most of it! You’ll likely be exhausted after each of these short sharp visits to the gym, but that’s the idea.

If you follow this program and do it correctly you’ll have gotten the most benefit out of a short intense workout. Also, you don’t want to do this routine anymore than three times a week (you want to give your body adequate rest in between).

As I said before, this is definitely not for everyone. Those who are serious about building muscle fast and have the experience to handle a tough workout like this may opt for it, as might those who are overscheduled and want to build muscle in the little time they have available.  If you’re up for a challenge though, this three times a week workout just might be for you!
