In many cases, if something is made easier or more convenient that can still produce the same results, it makes total sense to do so. However, people should never look for an easier or more convenient way to build muscle mass fast, for the simple reason that they'll never find it. The first mistake that's being made is that they are looking for "something out there" that can achieve the results that they want so bad. The truth is, the answer isn't "out there." You'll only get the results you want through applying the right information and working hard consistently and persistently. It is vitally important to have a properly designed workout program and a diet plan for building muscle mass, though one of the key factors that most weight trainers leave out is a very basic one: hard work. It is all to common today for most people to just plain not work hard enough in the gym. The greatest exercise in the world won't bring any results if you don't work hard; conversely, if you work your guts out on a less effective exercise you can still expect good results. If you a are a hardgainer - someone who is naturally skinny and has a hard time gaining weight and building muscle mass quickly - then the proper workout routine and diet will do you no good if you don't put 110 % effort into it. Too many people start and stop workout programs all year long, never really consistently working hard for at least a respectable amount of time,. You are definitely not working out hard enough in the gym if you have any doubts that you are working out your hardest. If you think you are working hard enough on your exercises then you probably still aren't working hard enough on your exercises. If you say yes to any of the following questions, you are not working hard enough: - Are you sometimes thinking of something other then your workout while at the gym? -Do you ever find yourself constantly talking and having conversations with others while working out? -Do you ever go to the gym tired, hungry, and/or unprepared? -Assuming you are taking all safety precautions, do you usually find yourself mentally quitting before you are finished physically on a set or rep? - Do you approach every workout guessing how much weight you should use, and just doing as many sets and reps as you "feel" like? Note that when I say the term "hard work," I am NOT talking about how often and how much time you spend in the gym, rather, I'm talking about the effort and intensity you put into your workouts. If you really want to build muscle mass fast, then you really have to focus on what you are putting INTO your workouts, not HOW much you're working out. Hard work is not optional if you are serious about building some muscle mass fast and effectively. You can throw around all sorts of weights and exercises all day, but if you expect to build some quality muscle mass, it's time to get serious about your training intensity. This shouldn't be a disappointing reminder for most of you. There is great joy and a sense of power that we can get from hard work, and weight training is one of the purest and rawest of forms. There is really nothing else out there that can relate to the ruthless and barbaric ways of weight training. It is, in essence, man's closest expression for good old fashion hard work. And the results are always well, well worth the work. As long as we have a solid routine and a proper and consistent diet, you can really learn to enjoy the hard work and the process of growth and development, both physically and mentally. As much as the industry can try, technology can never replace hard work in weight training for results. Sure, there are supplements and machines and equipment coming out everyday that claim to make our journey to greater muscle seem "easier," but none of these alone will replace the key ingredient for results in bodybuilding. If you have been looking for some supplement, exercise, machine, or other gizmo that will finally build some muscle mass, perhaps it's time you look at the quality of your own effort into the workouts your doing now. Sometimes we have to take an honest look at ourselves and determine whether or not we are truly working as hard as we should be. You'll always want to remember to be honest with yourself , because the only person you'll be cutting short is yourself. Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Keep that in mind next time you are trying to spot the cause for any lack of progress you may be having.
