Muscle Building Workouts – Another area in the fitness industry where you will probably hear conflicting information about what works and what doesn’t!
If you’re just starting out I’d highly recommend picking up a decent muscle building program <– I give honest reviews on some of the most popular ones which you can access by clicking on that link. Getting one of these will speed up the muscle building process immensely for you.
My favourite quote on this subject is from a strength and conditioning guru by the name of Charles Poliquin. He says..

”The bottom line is that almost any training method will work (provided you do it with intensity!), at least for the few weeks it takes for your body to adapt to it”

It really is as simple as that folks. Don’t look for a magic workout because there isn’t one. The most important factor in deciding which muscle building program is best for you is by figuring out how your body responds to each one and which best fits in with your lifestyle.
Most muscle building workouts will generally have you using anywhere from 2-5 sets per exercise and between 6-12 repetitions per set. This is the generally accepted range for muscle building but there are so many different training protocols, it can be easy to get caught up in a debate. Just stick to the bread and butter until your body adapts (you stop building muscle!) – then change and progress your training!
So with that in mind, let’s take a look at your options!

For Muscle Building I Recommend
The most effective muscle building program I’ve found after a thorough review is Vince Delmonte’s No Nonsense Muscle Building and Fat Loss Program.
This program is highly recommended by me for males and females who want a COMPLETE program to help you achieve your dream body in double quick time!
Everything from theory, to workouts, to your diet is all taken care of here plus much more. This program will help you to avoid all of the costly newbie mistakes (the same mistakes I made when I started!) that waste valuable muscle building time and effort.
