The Most Useful Tool To
Building Muscle Fast

If your aim is building muscle fast, then you absolutely must learn the following piece of advice. If I was only able to tell you one thing about how to build muscle mass fast, then what I've written on this page would be it.

But first let's take a look at how your body actually builds muscle. When you go to the gym and perform an intense session with heavy weights, you are breaking down muscle tissue and fibers and placing a lot of stress on your nervous system.

Your body sees this break-down of muscle as an "attack" on the body, a threat to its survival. It realises it must re-build with larger and stronger muscle fibers to be protected against the next attack.

What I'm trying to say is that in order to get bigger you must continually put your body under more and more stress each week, by lifting heavier weights or by performing more reps with the same weight. If you don't progress with heavier weights or more reps each week, you won't be able to physically build muscle fibers because your body would get used to the stress put on it.

But by progressing each week and using every ounce of energy you have to push your muscles that little bit further, your body will keep producing more muscle to be able to protect your body.

And this leads us to the question, what is the most powerful tool to building muscle fast?

The answer is, a pen and paper!

You could say the difference between those in the gym who get poor or average results, and those who produce outstanding results, is whether or not they fully understand the importance of progression on your workouts. It's the basic principle to building muscle fast.

With a pen and paper you should write down exactly how many sets and reps you perform on each exercise, and what weight you are using. Then the week after, try to slightly better either the amount of weight or the number of reps on each exercise.

This is the most basic yet most important principle to remember in your quest for an impressive physique. Don't lose sight of the big picture. And most importantly, don't underestimate the power of the pen and paper!
