Muscle Mass Workouts
If you are looking for ways to take your muscle mass workouts to a whole other level, then you are definitely in the right place. Most guys have the idea that gaining muscle mass is all about how long you spend in the gym. This is not true whatsoever. In fact, the more time you spend in the gym, the more you are decreasing your potential for more gains (more on this in a second).
Here's how to get the most from your muscle mass workouts.
Huge Gains with Muscle Mass Workouts
47 Minutes (Or Less)
Muscle Mass Workouts
Many studies have now proven that your workouts need to be 47 minutes or less in order to ensure you get the best gains from your workouts. After about 47 minutes of intense exercise your body will begin to release a stress hormone called cortisol. At this point your growth potential greatly decreases. This is because your body essentially begins to use a mixture of cortisol and adrenaline to lift the weights.
In other words, the amount of muscle fiber you will tear will decrease drastically.

Recovery Time
Muscle Mass Workouts
The optimal period which your muscles need to recover and rebuild is 48 hours. This is why I strongly suggest you work out your upper body on day one and your lower body on day two. Though the workouts will be longer (but still less than 47 minutes) this will ensure that you muscles get just enough recovery time. Too much recovery time is not necessarily a good thing either as your muscles will begin returning to their earlier size.
Maximum Muscle Tear
Muscle Mass Workouts
Here is a great technique to maximize the amount of muscle fibers your tear with each repetition...
Beginning in the starting position of the exercise, slowly (take 4 seconds) lift the weight until your target muscle is in full contraction (this will be at the "climax" of the repetition). Hold that position for one second and keep your target muscles squeezed. Then lower the weight to the starting position (take 4 seconds to do this).
When it comes to muscle mass workouts, the name of the game is increasing the amount of muscle tear. This technique has given me some awesome results.

How I Gained 20lbs of Muscle in Under 3 Months
If you want to cut through all the crap and really start building lots of muscle fast, then here is the program I used: No Nonsense Muscle Building
Vince Delmonte (the creator) is a male fitness model who's also just another hard gainer. If it wasn't for this guy's program, I would still be a skinny "boy" instead of strong and toned MAN.
That's the real secret. If you want to see how Vince transformed from a 149lb weakling to a 210lb fitness model, then go to the No Nonsense Muscle Building Website and scroll to the second paragraph.
