Want to get bigger and stronger? A lot of men want that, but unfortunately, wanting won't help you an inch. For that greek-godly muscle-growth, you need the perfect scheme of things to fall in place for you. From a growth-enhancing diet, intense workout regimes to good rest and recovery, there are a lot of factors, you need to be working in your favor, to gain the muscle mass you've always been desiring. Below are top tips for amazingly strong and fast muscle growth.

The thing about muscle-mass growth tips is that there can be no out-of-the-box shockers in this niche (If there are, they are probably not true at all). It's all about the basics, but the key here is to stick to the basics, and stick well enough.

1. Eat Right

One of the most important aspects of gaining muscle mass, your diet is something that could either make or break it for you. It is really that significant. Eat enough carbohydrates, as it will fuel-up your intense exercise regimes. Then comes protein, which is downright the most important nutrient for those looking for some serious muscle growth. One should breakdown their protein intake into smaller and regular servings throughout the day so as to facilitate better absorption and digestion. Some great sources of protein include beef, chicken, fish, egg whites etc.

2. Enough Water



Dehydration is one of the major reasons for lack of proper muscle growth. So, it is vital for all those looking to gain muscle to stay hydrated by taking enough water before, during and after workouts, and all-through the day as well.

3. The Power of Rest

Probably, the most overlooked aspect in muscle-gain bodybuilding regimes is rest. But, truth be spoken, sufficient and proper rest is essential to healthy recovery from those intense workouts, and after all, muscles grow during the time you're lying on your mattress, and not when you're lifting those dumbbells in the gym.

4. Lift Heavy

A no-brainer, isn't it? So as to gain more, lifting heavy comes as a must. But it is important here to note that this is not all you need to gain muscle. The actual growth occurs during the recovery period (eating and sleeping), but what is equally important is to realize is that what you're recovering from is (intense) workout, and lifting heavy weights is instrumental for the required muscle growth.

5. Consider Taking Supplements

For faster and more effective muscle growth, one may consider taking dietary supplements like protein powders, creatine, glutamine, or multi-vitamins, but it is essential to stick to the basics, and not to rely on the supplements beyond a certain limit. After all, they are called 'supplements' for a reason.
