By Emmanuel Palmer


'No Pain, No Gain!'-Have it been screamed in your ear by a sweats clad but military reared trainer one too many times? Well, it's partly true. You will experience a certain amount of pain when you decide to undergo intense bodybuilding regimens. However, apart from muscle soreness of varying degrees, you might want to be extra alert on particular aches your body is experiencing. It may be its way of telling you that something is definitely wrong and needs some fixing. In your pursuit on the best ways on how to build muscles, keep these factors in mind to make sure you avoid causing needless injury to your body.

Many beginners start out strong and hit the gym every time there is an opening in their schedules. Unfortunately, more often than not the very eager ones start dropping off the fitness meter one by one. Over training burns you out soon but more than that, it causes your body's immune system to dip. Not only that, the risk of injuring your joints and bones is greater when you over train. Take a break several days a week; it will do your body a world of good.

For those aiming to gain a significant amount of body mass to get that bodybuilder's physique, many 'How to Build Muscles' guide will discourage you from practicing cardiovascular workouts. You will need to gain more weight than lose them in burning, but do not take away aerobic exercises from your weight training routines. Cardiovascular training helps in your arteries' elasticity and improves your cholesterol levels. Build your muscles and your heart's health as well.

Practice gym safety. You will be using their equipment often, make sure the weight plates are properly locked and stacked away from the general floor area of the space for the safety of other trainers as well. You yourself should watch your step and be careful around machines with cables and bars attached to it. Don't leave barbells and dumbbells just lying around where anyone can trip on them and wear the correct footwear. Give other people plenty of space when they work out.

Always keep the correct position and form as you execute your drills. A lot of people make the mistake of rushing through the last few reps just so they can complete the given set but doing so may potentially put your body in an injury with serious consequences. Study and know the right way of performing the assigned exercises, starting with the lesser weight and gradually increasing it. If a joint or tendon feels particularly over extended, do not force the movement. Stop and ask your instructor on the best way of doing the task.

Finally, eat right. If you have the right diet not only will your energy up to par for your workouts, your muscle development will benefit from it as well. Whether you are planning to trim down or bulk up, get your calories from protein and carbohydrate rich food. Meals should ideally have fish, chicken, whole wheat grains, etc. Drink plenty of fluids particularly in days that you workout.

Make the extra effort to attend to these little details; it will do so much for the efficacy of your weight training routines. Have quality rest, eat sensible and exercise smart-looking good has never been this easy.
