Here are the Best Tips to Build Muscle Fast. Incorporate all of these Muscle Building Tips into your Muscle Diet, Workout and Lifestyle and the muscles of your body will have no choice but to grow!

Free weights vs Weight Lifting Machines

If you previously used Machine weights in your gym routine then my advice to you is to stop immediately start using Free Weights.

Free Weights such as Barbells and dumbbells place you body under more stress from lifting, pushing and pulling these weights.

This added stress will help to tear down your muscles more which is exactly what you’re trying to achieve in your workout routine.


I can see the appeal of machine weights to a beginner walking into the gym just because they are so easy to use however; if machine weights make up the basis of you Workout routine then your muscle gains will be severely hindered.

This is so because machine weights only isolated a few groups of muscles at most. For example, chest flys on the machine only recruit the chest shoulders and some of the upper back.

With free weights chest flys you will be working all these muscle groups harder including the Six Pack Abs Region. So with this in mind it's time to step up to a free weight lifting routine full of heavy compound movements such as deadlifts, squats, bench press, shoulder presses and so on.

Squat twice a week to get Big!

If there was one muscle building exercise that I had to chose to build muscle fast it would be Squats. Form personal experience, nothing grows your body quite like squats simply because of the growth hormone that is released from doing heavy squats on a regular basis.

Take it from me, if you want bigger arms Squat... if you want a bigger chest Squat... if you want any muscle group to get bigger SQUAT!

If you are trying to grow I would never EVER exclude squats from my routine. To achieve optimal growth I would include two heavy squat days in you gym routine.

Both of these squat sessions should be spaced 48 hours apart. For example, squat day on Tuesday and a squat day on Friday.

As for repetitions and sets I would advise 6 sets each done for 8 repetitions per set. Also squat right down below parallel to reap the most benefits.

Eat a Calorie surplus to build muscle fast!

Consuming more calories that you need day-by-day is one of the most important things you can do to build muscle fast. If you don't know how many calories you require everyday then I recommend you eat 6 filling meals evenly spaced out through the day. 

All of these meals should contain a lean protein source such a large chicken breast, steak or piece of fish, a low G.I carbohydrate such as whole meal bread or brown rice.

On top of this, include green vegetables to 3 out of your six meals and some healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil.
