The No Nonsense Muscle Building Guide is the best straight up manual to effectively gaining muscle, losing fat and getting ripped. Its author, Vince Del Monte is a renowned expert in the art of building muscle and I’m going to outline some of the techniques he gives, hoping that you can learn as I did.
Building muscle isn’t the easiest thing in the world, but nor is it the most difficult. It takes a mixture of knowledge, determination, commitment and hard work. The rewards are immense. Health, good looks and respect to name but a few.
Miss one key ingredient and you can be wasting your time. Spending countless hours in the gym striving for a lean, muscle physique and not achieving your goals can be demoralizing and stressful, even dangerous. Finding a mentor, a guide and/or an instructor can be one of the wisest moves you’ve ever made. My favorite and one with the most results has been Vince’s guide.
Depending on your body type, you’ll need different types of advice. A naturally stocky person who finds it easy to build muscle may not be the best teacher for someone who struggles to gain bulk. Likewise if you have the genes to get ripped easy and keep your fat levels low you might be wasting your time using the same advice as someone who is naturally skinny found beneficial.
So, here are a few hints and tips from
No Nonsense Muscle Building
Sweat! When you work out, do you look pristine afterwards? Or do you walk out of the gym sweating, breathing heavily, knowing you’ve had a workout that will yield results? If you put everything you’ve got into building yourself up, rather than just having a bit of a rest, you’ll notice a big difference. If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.
Throw yourself into every set, into every rep. Act as though just one more will bring you the results you desire. And it will.
Time your rest periods, and be brutally honest with them.
Don’t stare at yourself in the mirror. You can do that at home.
Don’t chat. Make sure you’re in the gym to train, not to entertain or make friends.
Don’t take your friends with you who won’t honor your code of balls to the wall intensity.
Be the guy that others look at and think ‘he’s really goin for it!’
Push yourself to achieve. If you’re doing just the same as you did the last time you trained, you’re not challenging your muscles, all you are doing is maintaining the status quo.
Once you’ve get an awesome training plan, don’t look for another one. Don’t get caught up in the latest shiny thing. Ignore bodybuilding magazines, guide and DVD’s. Grab the No Nonsense Muscle Building guide and stick with that.
Add More Weight – lift heavier weights every week. Train for a 5% increase every time. Use only one compound exercise per major muscle group per week.
DO More – Don’t rest more than you need. Lift weights close to the max you can, with shorter rest periods and a greater range of exercises per muscle group.
Set goals – make sure you know where you want to be and go hell for leather to achieve it. Align your goals with your achievement. Don’t beat yourself up if you fail, but look at where you are and change where you realistically believe you will be.
The single best piece of advice I can give is to check out the No Nonsense Bodybuilding Guide and treat it like your path to a toned, hard body, more success with the opposite sex, greater confidence, health and discipline.
