The Secret of Building Muscle

By Charles Nash

I want to share with you the secret of building muscle. It's surprising how many people goto the gym and just lift weights. They assume that's how you build muscle. Often these people grow slowly and remain skinny. I don't blame them for believing that. There is a lot of misinformation out there. I blame the idea of using information from infomercials as the main culprit of this. I hope to shed some light on this.

Darwinism is probably the best way to look at building muscle. He proposed the idea that as the environment changes, animals must adapt or die. Seems simple. The same thing needs to happen to your muscles. If you look at the size of your build right now, it's typical of your environment. If you watch television all day, you're not going to need much muscle for that activity and hence won't have any. If you work on a farm and do heavy lifting all day, you'll have a very strong build. Your environment shapes your muscles.

Weight lifting is a great way to change the environment to get your muscles to grow. The problem is that people miss a few things. The first point is that your muscles will only adapt to meet the stress. Your muscles can adapt to the idea of lifting heavy weights in matter of months. This is why people experience plateau effects. You have to always be changing up your routine and doing new things. This keeps your muscles in a constantly changing environment, which means you'll have constant muscle growth. This is the perfect strategy for putting on muscle.
