Too many people botch their weight training efforts by rushing them. Regardless of the exercise performed, the repetitions should be slower while you focus on the technique.

If you are looking to gain muscle, you will need to eat a lot more. You ideally want to consume what it takes to increase your weight by a weekly pound. Consider the ways you might increase your calories and protein intake, then reconsider your approach if you don't put on any weight in 14 days.

Change your routine around. If bodybuilding diet female you stick to a single routine, it may get boring and you won't want to do it. Vary your workouts so you have different exercises and muscle groups worked every time. By varying your workout you will keep it fresh which will help you stick with it.

Creatine supplements should be used carefully, especially if they are used for several months or more. These supplements can be harmful if you have any sort of kidney issues. These supplements have also been linked to muscle compartment syndrome, muscle cramps, and heart arrhythmia. Teenagers have a higher rate of complications due to their growing body's needs. Make certain that you are taking these supplements in their recommended safe quantities.

Try to make sure you stretch out your muscles while you work out. Hold a stretch for about thirty seconds if you are under forty years old. Anyone over the age of forty should hold stretches for sixty seconds at the minimum. This method of stretching helps you avoid injury after your muscle building exercises.

Increase your protein intake to build your muscle mass. Protein is essential to building muscle, and not eating enough protein can actually make you lose muscle mass. A good measure for your bodybuilding diet is a gram of protein every day for every pound of your weight.

Some people mistakenly increase protein consumption when beginning to build muscle. Doing so can mean a boost in calories consumed, and if these are not getting burned off by the exercise, fat can start forming. Up your protein intake over time, 100-200 calories every three to four days, to ensure your body can keep up.

When weight lifting, it is perfectly fine to cheat just a little bit. You can utilize a small bit of body weight if you need to squeeze out a few extra repetitions so that your workout is maximized. Just be careful that you don't cheat too often. Even when you are cheating, maintain your usual rep speed. Never compromise your form.
