Even if you are a hard gainer, you can build muscle fast. You need to put together a plan you can stick to, put it into action and monitor results. So what is this great never before seen plan? No such thing here, instead of giving you the “best” plan – which I wouldn’t know, because I don’t know you, I will tell you how to find the best program for you.

So what is my magic bullet? No magic, just a well thought out plan to build muscle the smart way and adjust as needed. The fact is there is no secret and much if not all of what I have to say you have heard before – yet you are still looking. That is because you are missing one key element that you need to implement in order for any plan to work – or work better than it already is.

So let’s get down to brass tacks. Your program to build muscle mass needs to be focused on progressive weight resistance. Magic huh? I know many of you go to the gym and you do progressively try to lift more, and you might actually be lifting more, but not gaining size. So what is the problem? Your body is not responding to the increased resistance in the manner you wish. So what do you have to do? You need to track progress in writing. Yes, you see them in the gym with their little note pad – you wouldn’t be caught dead with one would you? Change that frame of mind because you are going to start carrying a note pad to the gym. In fact, before you even get there, you are going to set out a plan and implement it, track it, and make adjustments as necessary – this is the key that most people are missing. Many people start out with a plan, but it falls apart in no time and you find yourself training in a less productive manner.

You see, it comes down to body’s reaction to stimulus. You can do your own scientific study and see what exercise and repetition combination work best for you. Just because you read in some magazine that a certain bodybuilder says xyz exercise is the best for shoulders, it might not be the best for you. Tracking your routine will allow you to custom tailor the results.

No secret routine here, no magic workout that is going to pack on 10 pounds of muscle mass in two weeks. Instead, I am going to give you basic no-fail advice. Start lifting heavier weights at lower reps till failure. In fact, you should pyramid up something like 6 reps, 3 reps, 1 rep all to failure. You are giving yourself progressive resistance. Next step is key – track you progress. If you are not progressing, change up the routine and try something different – it is that simple – plan, track progress, adjust as needed. If you don’t track, you are not living up to your potential.

The heavy progressive weight method will work for most people to build muscle fast and see nice gains in mass, but like I said, if you are tracking and it isn’t working for you, change it up. Make sure that you give each workout a solid 4-6 weeks to see progress. In fact, so that your body does not stop gaining, you should change your routine every 4-6 weeks anyway. However, if you find a very effective routine, switch in and out of it every other time you make a routine change until it doesn’t work for you anymore.

By now, you should realize that tracking your progress can make a big difference in your muscle gain. If you can’t take the time to track your changes by writing down your weight and reps – and do this in the gym – then you aren’t dedicated. If you really want to build muscle optimally, you have to track your routines. Once you get that down, you need to start tracking your rest and your food intake. Of course, if you want to be average, you don’t need to do any of that. Remember, intuitive is not enough.
