Science Based Muscle Growth - The Science Of How To Build Muscle And Increase Strength - Edric Harper
Introduction
Muscle building is at once very simple and simultaneously incredibly complicated. If that sounds like a frustrating contradiction... well, get used to it! As you learn more about building muscle and getting ripped, you'll notice that almost all of the information you come across only exacerbates and complicates things. Everyone has an opinion, and no one seems to be able to agree on the best way to get into powerful shape.
When you first start out, everything appears to be very simple. You need to exercise more and eat more protein if you want to grow. When you do this, you will notice that you are gaining muscles and increasing your strength. If you aren't seeing any growth or strength gains, it could simply be that you aren't going to the gym on a regular basis or working out hard enough when you do!
And, for the most part, this is correct. Lifting weights and eating more meat should result in some muscle mass, regardless of the type of training you use. Overcomplicating things at this point will only make it more difficult to stay motivated and produce poor results.
But, over time, you notice that things aren't changing as quickly as you'd like. You realize that your iron colleagues are outperforming you and that you've 'plateaued,' whatever that means.
That's when you start reading about training and realize there's more than one way to skin a cat.
This is when you realize that lifting heavy for fewer reps is the best way to build muscles. Focus on compound lifts to ensure that your strength gains are ‘functional,' and supplement with a healthy, ketogenic diet.
But then there's another guy who says something completely different. This guy believes that during training, you should isolate your muscles and focus on just one muscle group to cause the most muscle damage. And, while you're at it, you should concentrate on higher rep ranges because, in the end, the only thing that matters is time under tension.
Then, in the gym, someone comes over to you and corrects your technique – even though you learned it on YouTube – and you're about ready to give up on the whole thing. Training is simply too difficult!
What you're dealing with is a classic case of a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Unfortunately, everyone on the internet believes they are an expert, and they are eager to tell you what the best way to build muscles is based on a small amount of reading and their own limited experience.
However, if you devote enough time to learning the big picture, you'll realize that there is no right or wrong way to build muscles. The reality is that everyone has a different body type and a different set of goals. The type of training you use should be determined by your body type and what you respond well to, as well as the type of training that most interests you and the goals you want to achieve.
This isn't just something people say; it's completely true.
Once you know what your body responds to, what your goals are, and how hypertrophy (muscle growth) works, you can choose the best muscle building strategy that will help you
