How To Build Muscles Fast With This Hard Core Technique

Bodybuilders are always looking for ways to blast through muscle building plateaus, mix up their routines, discover new ways to stimulate muscle growth and increase strength. Discovering new variations is critical for bodybuilding success as your body soon adjusts to new demands of new exercises and will not continue to grow unless new ways to stimulate muscle growth are found.

There are a variety of ways in which to stimulate growth including the standard progressive overload principle of using sets and reps and doing as many repetitions as you can until muscle failure. Other possible variations are: compound sets, super sets, 21s, drop sets, partials and so on. However today we are going to look at negatives as a way to stimulate muscle growth.

So, what is a negative? And how can you build muscle fast using negatives and are they the answer to how to build muscle quickly and even how to build shoulders quickly?

Well, negatives go like this. With bench pressing as an example, lets say that you normally do bench press exercises for 8 repetitions at 110 kg. You have gotten stale and found muscle building progress difficult to make and got stuck at this weight. Put an extra 20kgs on to the bar and have your gym partner assist you in pushing the barbell until your arms are nearly fully locked.

Now with the weight at the top your spotters remove their hands and all assistance and you lower it steadily and under control. Then once more let your friends assist you to press the weight back up. Repeat this as many times as you can until you can no longer lower the weight safely and under control.

Why should I do negatives? And will I build muscle fast using negatives?

Well your muscles are actually stronger in the lowering phase so when you do regular reps you are only placing stress on the muscle fibers in the lifting phase which are not as strong. So, by doing negatives you can get your muscles used to handling a heavier weight. Do a few workouts such as this and you can trigger muscle mass growth and thus improve your weight training efforts for your normal routine and increase your overall muscle mass.

Does this create any problems?

As your muscles are likely to not be used to doing this and for physiological reasons your muscles are more than likely going to be sore on the following days. Clearly do not go back to the gym until you have fully recovered and keep your protein intake high and be doubly sure to take a decent protein shake immediately after your workout.

Negatives can be made use of for just about any exercise but work best for the classic mass builders such as the major compound multi-joint exercises like: squats, deadlifts, pull ups, shoulder presses, and such like. However do these type of sets sparingly and use them as a way to bust through training plateaus and to stimulate muscle growth on an infrequent basis.

With those points in mind keep taking on good solid muscle building nutrition, rest adequately and workout hard and frequently and you ought to have no problems piling on muscle mass. Now go ahead and combine your weight gain programs guidelines with negatives.
