Why protein is the key weight loss ingredients to your weight loss arsenal.
The answer might surprise you.
One of the debates that continues to rage-on in gyms around the globe is whether free weights or machines are more effective at building muscle. The strange thing is, the only people still debating this are those who are relatively new to lifting weights. Those who have lifted weights for years know through experience which is better.
I’ll go ahead and kill the suspense here: free weights are better for building muscle than machines (if you didn’t already know). The primary reason is that they force your body to work against resistance in a three-dimensional environment. Machines are typically one-dimensional or two-dimensional at best. This also makes the strength gained from free weight exercises more transferable to daily activities, since nearly everything you do requires strength in all three dimensions.
Every so often I’ll get an e-mail from someone who claims he or she has applied each of those key factors for many weeks and still say they have trouble trying to gain weight and build muscle fast. One of the lesser known ways to build muscle fast in record time is something that most people just plain don’t get enough of these days: sleep.
There are a few VERY important factors that every weight trainer must follow to gain weight and build muscle mass fast. Some of the more obvious ones are a proper workout routine, diet, supplements, and hard work.
