The man’s muscles are fully, sculptured, which makes a person wonder how this person achieved a rock-hard body.
When a person has flab or loose skin dangling from the body, it often makes them feel embarrassed. Not every one of us is fortunate enough to achieve a rock-hard body, thus some of us have to settle for tone, firm, and fit bodies. Some of us believe that we can achieve a sculptured physique in a few months, but most of us realize it takes a bit longer.
Most people exercising to sculpt the body make mistakes, which they fail to see often. For instance, when the person starts workout the goal is to reduce body fat and weight, while increasing the numbers of repetitions to achieve sculptured bodies. In fact, many people adhere to this strategy in a gym and/or at home, however the strategy is incorrect. Most gym trainers will claim that heavy weight lifting is the way to go if you want to increase muscles, and lower weight. In fact, the trainers may tell you that it will deliver a masterpiece-sculptured body in a short time if you continue the plan.
Regardless of what the trainers believe, this is not true in most instances. The trainers in fact are misleading the trainees. Overall, your body type, diet, and exercise plans play a part in achieving sculptured bodies. Some of us can exercise and reach results in a short time, while other body types have to workout longer to achieve their goals.

The dream of every man going to the gym is to have body that looks like a beautifully carved sculpture of muscles. Nevertheless, most of men do not know the mechanism that goes on in our body that causes the muscles in our body to fatten and strengthen.
One of the most common mistakes that people make in a gym is of weight overload. They think that the more weights that they lift; the stronger and well sculpted their body will become. Nevertheless, what such people do is, only waste of their precious time in a futile activity and end up causing harm to their body.
While the muscles will increase only with increasing the load, you must keep in mind that gradual weight amount lifting is important while training to sculpture your muscles. Our bodies grow only because they adapt to increased resistance forced on them. It is extremely important that you keep in mind that our bodies can adapt only to small changes at a time. Although continuing with the same weights will bring about the same results, only a progressive increase will bring about a progressive change.
Higher weight repetitions enable you to increase the load on the muscles. This in turn leads to the formation of new tissues in that muscle region which increases the muscle size over a period. These muscles will now be able to handle even more stress and thus will help in forming even more tissues.
The most effective repetition range is between four and six for almost every exercise. What most of the people believe is that these lesser weight reps will lead to injury. On the contrary, this will help in reducing every possible chance of injury because the muscles are, given ample time to adjust to the increase in resistance.
A lower volume of weight reps will not make your sides look flabby or else bulged. Instead, lower weight reps will help in forming those cuts that make your body look like a sculpted muscular masterpiece.
Nevertheless, what weights to chose? Well the first few days in the gym will only be a period of hit and trial. You will take a few days to understand how much the right weight for you to begin is. Well as an idea the weight with which you do more than six reps is too light. When you can easily do six sets with a particular weight, it is time to move on to the next higher weight. The increase is this progressive flow in weight lifting, which increases the muscles. Four to 6 reps of higher weights will always be more effective in muscle gaining than more number of reps of lower weights.
Another important thing to keep in mind is warm-ups. Warm-ups should be just enough to start proper blood flow into your tissues. It should be overdone such that you lose all the energy to do those heavy reps. The entire purpose is defeated if your muscles get tired even before being strained to the max.
However, when you have warmed-up the number of sets that you’ll be able to perform will be, only a one or two but they will be more than enough if done properly. After all, the quality of workout is what will bring the desired results and not the quantity.
The motive here is to stimulate the muscle into growth mode. This is done, by doing lesser number of reps with higher weights. It is better to use only as much weight as you can handle. Sometimes in a bid to lift more weight, we cause damage to the tissues.
Thus, overall now that you know, what heavy and lightweights can do for you; it will help you in deciding which one’s better for you.

So often, it happens that people complain of hitting the wall, their strength and stamina seems to have stopped increasing. These people complain that in spite of their increased protein intake and more workouts it just seems to have stagnated. The reason of writing this is to help you understand what effect the above actions have on your body and how to solve the problem of stagnation.
First, we must understand that growth of our body is a lot more complicated than just feeding your self more protein and pumping up more iron. Hormones which hormonal receptors, glands, enzymes, cell membrane’s pH etc regulate the growth in our body.
The body’s growth works stimulation of signals that cause rejuvenation and increase of body’s tissues. The stimulus is activated by various agents like hormones, steroids etc.
Nevertheless, at times it so happens that the cell membrane’s receptors become deactivated and stops responding to these stimulating agents. This is the stage when your body growth reaches a full stop. This explanation is important to understand that in order to renew your growth, your body’s cell membranes require reactivation. This requires some time and some efforts from your side.
Reactivation depends on your body’s ability to revitalize the receptors. Revitalization is the starting point for reactivation and all this takes some time to begin. This process involves daily detox of your body and a changeover to a suitable diet. The diet so designed should reduce the stress on your liver in order to better the regulation of fat and protein breakdown
Now, what can you do? Well we must understand that a little change in our diet will mean a loss of muscle and weight. Nevertheless, this is all just a temporary phase and is like taking a one-step back to move a couple forwards. After hitting the wall, everyone has to go through this phase of detoxification stage, which leads to body weight and muscle loss.
What most of the people think is that consuming more of protein everyday will help in keeping them away weight gain and eventually end up eating huge amounts of proteins everyday, some to the tune of even 500gm of protein per day. What these people don’t understand is that this protein is the very reason for their stagnated body growth. This is so because excessive protein intake leads to excess of amino acids in your body and in order to remove those extra amino acids the body converts them into fats or carbs while forcing the liver to work overtime and straining it with toxic byproducts that protein decomposition produces.
Also low Carbohydrate products can also severely affect the fat burning capability of your body. Chemicals like ethanol, sorbitol and glycerine are commonly found in most of these products and deteriorate the liver’s capacity to process fats and sugars.

It is an age-old saying that the more seeds you sows, the more fruits you will get. This is the reason why we study very hard and long hours in search for better grades, athletes spend more time on the tracks in order to fine tune their skills, musicians spend long hours practicing in order to become masters etc. On a similar logic then you must also workout in gym for long hours in order to reap the benefits of having a well-developed and beautifully sculpted muscular body. While the logic may prove it correct, it is very wrong. Imagine yourself what would happen if you were to workout in the gym for 8 hours everyday. Your body will become out of shape and your immune system will suffer big time. In fact it’s not the more that you workout but the more balanced your workout is that will yield any kind of benefit for your muscles.
Well so now you must be thinking how lesser workout will lead to better muscles and if I am out of my mind. The answer is a yes for the first question and a no for the second. We must understand the basics of bodybuilding before going any further with our discussion here.
Thousands of processes keep on going inside our body and their basic purpose is to maintain our body, keeping us in good shape. The processes keep us hale, hearty, and free of disease. Through centuries of evolution process, our bodies have learnt to adjust with variable conditions of temperature and other factors like that. Our bodies send signals at what time the body needs something. If the body is, affected by something, the signals will arrive also. We feel hungry when the glucose levels in our body falls below a certain mark. We feel thirsty when our body fluids are depleted beyond a certain level. We sneeze when we are allergic to a certain kind of odor. Our body may tan on over-exposure to sunlight. Numerous other reactions cause stimulation by certain factors also when the body is subjected to the sun. Nevertheless, what happens when we overstrain our muscles in the gym? They get bigger, obviously. This happens because of reaction in the body due to the extra resistance that it has to face and put up against. When you workout beyond a level, your muscles will increase in size to face the increasing resistance. As you keep on increasing the resistance every week, your muscles will also keep increasing and your body will be able to handle more resistance.
All this muscle gaining is almost as simple as it sounds but what is missing here is one fact that we all must know. Our muscles can grow in a healthy manner only if they are provided with sufficient time to recover from the strain. If you don’t provide them with adequate recovery time then they cannot simply keep on growing. After all, don’t you a need good night’s sleep after a day of hard work. Imagine your state and condition if you continued working out without cease.
Our aim in the gym should be to yield maximum results with a minimum effort. Once you have pumped more iron than your body can under normal conditions, you have set into activity the muscle building process. Nevertheless, if you strain your body any further now it will lead to an increased time for recovery and cause damage to your immune system.
You must not overdo sets. High weights used in training can cause irreparable damage to your body. Thus we must do only what is beneficial. Workout in the gym only for 3-4 days and do just 6-8 sets for your chest, back or thigh and 2-4 sets for the rest of the parts. Do not train for more than an hour in a single sitting.
Follow these simple guidelines to have balanced and well sculpted and healthy muscular body.
