There are many workouts out there that are designed to help you build muscle fast, but figuring out which ones you should do may be a little difficult. However, there a few fast muscle building workouts you might be interested in doing, and these workouts include doing giant sets, five day workouts and tri-sets. Read on to find out more about these workouts designed to help you gain some massive muscle mass in a short period of time, as well as other info that you will find useful.
1. Giant Sets With Heavy Weight- One of the fastest ways to build muscle is by using giant sets and training with heavy weight. In case you're not sure what they are, giant sets is when you pick 4-6 or more exercises for one body-part. You'll then do all of the exercises one after another, but instead of taking a rest in between each exercise, you'll take a rest when the last rep of the last exercise is completed, as that will be one giant set completed. With that said, below are two giant set workouts you can give a try.
The first giant sets workout consists of training five days per week, which will consist of chest/Monday, shoulders and traps/Tuesday, arms/Wednesday, back/Thursday and then on Friday you will train your legs. As for the exercises you will do for each body-part, the choice is up to you, but make sure the first exercise of your giant set routine is a power-movement (such as bench press, barbell shoulder press, barbell curls, close-grip bench press, barbell rows and barbell squats). Remember to choose 4-6 exercises, use heavy weight for each exercise and do a total of 4-5 giant sets in total for bigger body parts such as your chest and shoulders, and a total of 2-4 for smaller body-parts. Don't sacrifice your form for heavy weight, which means to only use weight you can handle, it is important to remember you must be able handle the negative, and follow this particular routine for 4-6 weeks, and you could end up packing on quite a bit of muscle in a very short amount of time.
The second giant set routine is even more intense because it is a chest, shoulders, traps on Monday, while on Tuesday you'll train back and arms, and then you will train your legs on Wednesday. Once again, you will use heavy weight and do between 3-5 giant sets for each body-part you train, and you will follow this workout for 6-8 weeks, and you will do it just three days per week. With this particular giant sets workout, you can choose the exercises to do throughout the giant set workout. This workout is ideal for those who are very busy but still want to gain muscle.
2. The 5 Day Workout With Heavy Weight- When it comes to fast muscle building workouts, a 5 day per week workout schedule that consists of using heavy weights, low reps and a small number of sets. There are a number of 5 day workouts you can give a try, but there are two that you might want to consider trying first. Those two workouts can be found below.
The first 5 day per week workout consists of using heavy weight, and doing 3-4 exercises per body-part, and doing a total of 9-12 traditional sets per body-part. The aim is to do 6-8 reps per exercise, and the exercises you will be doing should consist of mainly compound movements, which are lifts such as the bench press, barbell squats and exercises that incorporate secondary muscles throughout the movements. As for the muscles you will train on each day, that will be chest/Monday, back/Tuesday, shoulder and traps/Wednesday, arms/Thursday and legs/Friday, and follow the routine for a total of 4-5 weeks.
The second workout consists of choosing three exercises per body-part, and a total of 12-15 sets for each body-part. However, the workout days differ from above, as this routine you will be training chest twice. The workout schedule is chest and shoulders and traps/Monday, back/Tuesday, arms/Wednesday, legs/Thursday and just chest on Friday. Instead of doing the routine for 4-5 weeks, you'll be doing it for 3-4 weeks.
3. Tri-Set Workouts With Light And Heavy Weight- Tri-sets are similar to giant sets, but you do three exercises for a body-part, and not 4 or more. There are many tri-set workouts you can do, but the one below is one you might be interested in trying first. If you want to know what that workout is, then read the next paragraph.
The tri-set workout mentioned above will have you training a total of six days per week, but it is a very flexible, as you choose which exercises you want to do for each body-part. With that said, the workout routine is chest, shoulders and traps/Monday, back and arms/ Tuesday and legs/Wednesday, but you will use heavy weight and low reps (6-8 -per exercise) on each day. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday you will do the same workout over again, but this time with light weight and high reps (12-15 per exercise).
4. Tips And Advice- The above routines are all fast muscle building workouts you should try, but remember to always do exercises correctly and with proper form. Also, don't skip workout days and try to increase the weight as time goes on, even if it is just by a couple of pounds. Another piece of advice you will want to keep in mind is that you should try to consume a moderate amount of healthy carbs, as this will help you gain muscle mass to, and you could end up becoming stronger as time goes on.
As you can see, there are quite a few fast muscle building workouts you can give a try, such as the ones previously discussed. If you are serious about packing on lean muscle, then you need to train hard and with quite a bit of intensity, so if you give those workouts a try, then make sure you stick with them and train when you are supposed to train.
