I hear things all over the place that bodybuilding is the most intense sport around. I'd like to know how intense it actually is. How hard is it to build muscle? How long should a workout last in order to build muscle?

I would like some detailed answers, if that's not too much to ask.

  1. The key ingredient to gaining muscle mass is to add lots of PROTEIN to your daily diet. You should have 1.0-1.5 grams of protein for each pound you weigh. Protein helps your body to build lean muscle after your workout. Speaking of workout, I would start with simple toning exercises (low weight/more reps) to get your muscles used to being worked. After about 2 weeks you can go to the strengthening exercises (high weight/low reps). This will break down your muscles fast and with all the protein in your diet, when they heal it will be solid lean muscle mass.


  2. They should work out for about an hour every day but they do it seriously, and dont **** around in that time. Their cycles are usually 4 days working out, 1 day off.

    They practice movements- day one would be a Push day, day 2 would be a pull day, day three would be a back day, day four would be a leg day.

    You build muscle while you rest after muscle fibers have been torn from working out.
