Build Muscle Fast - Maximize Your Workout by Lifting Heavy Weights

Build Muscle Fast - Maximize Your Workout by Lifting Heavy Weights
Experience Level: All
Another way to build muscle fast is to use as many muscle fibers as possible during a particular exercise.

Muscle grows as a response to the trauma it endures during a weight lifting routine. During your workout, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only during the rest period after this trauma occurs that your body utilizes the nutrients from your diet to build muscle.

In order to maximize this muscle fiber recruitment, it is absolutely essential to lift heavy weights.

Now, how do you know if you are lifting heavy weights? After all, my heavy and your heavy may be two completely different things.

A good rule of thumb is that a weight is "heavy" you can safely handle the weight for a maximum of 8 to 12 repetitions with proper form. This weight will be somewhere between 70% and 80% of your one-rep max (1RM). If you are able to do more reps, then the weight is too light. Less repetitions means the weight is too heavy.

Lifting heavy weights allows you to maximize the number of muscle fibers used to move the weight. Maximizing the number of muscle fibers used for a body part is one of the fastest ways to build muscle.
