It can sometimes seem as though all the world wants to lose weight, and
although there certainly is cause for this phenomenon (since obesity is
reaching epidemic proportions in many parts of the world), the lack of
sympathy for a skinny guy wanting to build some muscle, can be frustrating.
When you have tried everything - weight training, consuming
more calories and even midnight snacking - and the difference is
minimal, it may be time to put your fitness routine into the hands of an
experienced personal trainer.
'The business of life is demanding' you may say, and while it is true that
conflicting work and personal demands can leave little time for the gym, there
is no reason why you can't build muscle and enjoy greater strength, availing
of the many benefits of a personal trainer showing up at your house.
Consistency is Key
In order for progress to be noticed, you simply must be consistent. Even
seasoned athletes know it is hard to get anywhere if they work out less than
three times a week. The problem is, when you’ve been going to the gym on your
own, or with a friend who seems more interested in finding a date than feeling
the burn, it can be easy to lose motivation and spend your leisure time doing
something that requires less effort. Personal trainers are an exceptionally
motivational source of support. It is difficult to say no to a professional
who walks the walks and looks as fit as he can make you. You won’t miss a
single workout once you start noticing the amazing changes you can achieve.
Valuable Tips for Success
There are many nutritional ‘tricks’ when it comes to muscle building. For
instance, consuming more carbs after you work out, or on rest days, lifts
glucoses levels (and, therefore, insulin) in your blood. Insulin stops
protein from breaking down, which will help you rebuild muscle faster and use
your protein sorces optimally. It is also important to eat before
resting at night, so that muscles are never starved of amino acids. Trainers
also know
the
most efficient protein drinks and supplements in the business,
ensuring you don’t waste your hard earned cash on useless products. For
lean
guys seeking to build muscle, these tips are invaluable - and
personal trainers are veritable treasure trove of advice on everything to do
with food.
Optimizing Your Strength Training
The gym can be a veritable jungle, with so many types of equipment to choose
from. It is vital to stick to the types of routines that target all of your
body’s muscles - your trainer will introduce you to the basic exercises of
muscle building (including squats, deadlifts, curls, dips and pull-ups) but
also introduce novelty into your routine, ‘surprising’ your muscles out and
ensuring you do not slip into a plateau.
There are many times in life in which it can feel like attempting to achieve
an important goal alone, is proving futile. Bodybuilding is a complex sport
that involves optimal nutrition, intense training and high levels of
motivation. A personal trainer will ensure that you stay on track and have the
time of your life while experiencing the amazing transformational power of
strength training.
