5 things you need in any muscle building program

Since your diet is one of the most important keys to gaining muscle mass, you really need to know how many calories to eat, what types of food to eat, and when the time you should be eating them!

If you consistently under eat, you will not gain muscle mass. But, if you tend eat a lot, you will likely gain body fat.

So you have to be pretty accurate with your calorie intake in order to gain muscle mass without consuming a lot of fats.

Any muscle building program should give you MASS building techniques so that you can gain quality muscle weight, not just fat.
Better make sure you're not training too many days as a result it will stop your body from recovering and your muscles from repairing themselves.Do not do too many exercises, reps, and sets because that too could lead to overtraining and exhaustion.We'll touch more on it below, but the best approach for building muscle is to stick with the basic compound exercises (bench, squats, deadlifts, barbell curls) and use lower reps and just a few heavy sets.

Actually, you do not need supplements to gain muscle but you need calories. And I've used just about every supplement on the market and they are a complete waste of money. However, there are a few exceptions and some can help you in the muscle gaining process, if you decide to use them.
The main supplements worth taking to gain quality muscle ia protein (whey, milk, or egg), creatine, glutamine, EFA's, a multivitamin, and meal replacements.
Save your hard-earned money and time by avoiding the useless ones.

You must consume a lot of protein in oeder to gain muscle. If you consume too many fat calories, you will gain mostly fat and not muscle. Therefore it is important that you get the right breakdown of protein, fats, and carbs for your specific body type.

Most advice shows that 50% of your calories should come from protein, 40% from carbs, 10 % from fats. But this is just a guideline.

Depending on your goals, cardio may help or actually decrease your chances of gaining weight. If your target is to gain more weight fast, you may not want to be doing cardio at all.

In that way, you do not want to lose weight and muscle by expending calories that could have been used for muscle building.

If you're looking to lose body fat while still gaining muscle, 3 to 5 cardio sessions a week is enough and abundant.

For someone wanting to pack on the weight, I'd stick with just a couple sessions, none if you're really desperately trying to gain weight.
