When any web surfer searches for ways to build muscle, they could have either positive or negative motivations. Here in this article we will deal only with those on the negative or pain-avoidance motivation side. We will be considering three of the actions or errors that this sort of person wants most to avoid.
For clarity and general background here, there are a few things you need to know. For instance, you need to know that building muscle does take time, do not expect things to happen overnight.

Also some specifics about the history of the need or problem here, you need to know that everyone has a different genetic disposition, meaning that we are not all going to end out being built like Arnie.
Fine. Now what should we be avoiding? And, why avoid that?
Because when you have a desire to bulk up, then you need to have a plan of action.
O.K. then, listed here are those 3 points you have to do your very best to avoid:
First of all, avoid lifting light weights and compensating by doing lots of reps instead. The key reason why for this is the fact that The key to building muscle is to lift the heaviest weight that you possibly can and this will cause the muscle to grow so that it can handle the weight.
How do I know how much avoidance should be used? If you can do more than 5 reps unassisted the weight is too light.
Second, avoid training too much. And how come is that? when you are lifting heavy weights your body needs time to recover and its not just the muscles. Your internal organs are working hard to flush out waste created by the strain of lifting heavy weights and they need time to recover as well.
And the way to know what is enough? At the most you should only lift twice a week; you will know if you are over training because you will feel lethargic in the gym and will not be increasing the weight you are able to lift.
Third and then finally, avoid trusting your memory. The true reason for that is a staggering amount of people do not record what they are doing when they are working out.
And what problem does this create? If you are not keeping track of what you lifted and for how many reps and noting how long you rested between sets, then you are never really going to be able to progress because you will not know what you are improving on.
Just avoiding the traps doesn’t necessarily mean that is all that you have to consider, but it will give you a certainly better shot at profiting from the rest of the positive aspects from wanting to build muscle.
