Introduction The “Death-X-Perts” – Walking Time Bombs!

So many guys like Dustin turn to the biggest guy in the gym for their advice or worse a chemically enhanced time bomb gracing the pages of the latest Magazine. What Dustin and many others don’t know is the cruel and never ending spiral of drug abuse that a “one-time-only” first cycle can trigger.

Believe me the average dude in the gym who is slamming the latest chemical going around town is not going to tell you how to rebuild your kidneys, your liver, or heart after they fail because you decided gaining an extra 20 pounds of muscle with some “barnyard, home brewed, chemical concoction” loaded with impurities, animal hormones, bacteria and a host of chemicals that would make a “biochemical weapons chemist” nervous was worth risking your health.

The other day I received an email from an earnest young man named Dustin (name changed for identity purposes). Now Dustin, like most young men in their late teens and early twenties, was looking to put on an extra ten or twenty pounds of muscle to fill out his frame.

Dustin like many men his age felt that he was too skinny. He also told me that he had been training for 3 or 4 years with moderate results and that although he was relatively lean, his bodyweight had been stuck between 170-175 pounds at a height of 5’11. I have received hundreds if not thousands of letters from guys and girls all around the world just like Dustin who are desperate to put on more muscle.

Like so many others before him Dustin told me how he had religiously followed an endless array of training programs. Although he had experienced some gains when he first switched to a new training program usually after the first 2-3 weeks on a new program his gains stopped. The situation had gotten worse because at the time of his email he had been sitting at his current bodyweight for almost a year and couldn’t seem to gain a pound of muscle no matter what he did.

Muscle building is straight forward once you have an appropriate muscle building program, the right attitude and consistency from your side.

For beginners, muscle building should be started by keeping in mind the concept of ‘try and try again’. The muscle gains will certainly appear after some time, so be sure that you don’t give up early on.

Beginners should pay special attention to the constructive strategies for muscle building. A positive approach is certainly necessary for effective muscle building.

A common mistake is that many beginners tend to start with the isolation exercises, but this is not the way to start a new muscle building program.

Beginners should stick to the compound exercises – the ones that increase your overall strength and hit large muscle groups. Read the rest of this entry

Muscle building is not all about how much weight you can lift, it’s also about eating the correct muscle building foods. 

An effective muscle building program includes many aspects to it and bodybuilders need to pay attention to each and every aspect.

The two main aspects of healthy muscle building are eating a healthy balanced diet that contains muscle building foods and performing a regular and consistent exercise program.  Read the rest of this entry

I’m pleased to announce that the site will be going through some major updates over the next 2-3 days. Unfortunately, this may mean that www.AddingMuscleMass.com may not be available for certain periods, or may just be unstable.

The site has grown considerably since its launch in the middle of last year, especially with the amount of articles and reviews we’ve published. The result is that site became “cluttered” and finding the content became more and more difficult. Read the rest of this entry
