Today we have a question from Fredrico.
Freddy asks: What is the best way to increase muscle mass?
Great question Freddy, thanks for asking.
The best way to increase muscle mass is by including compound exercises, such as the bench press, squat, bent over row, deadlift and shoulder press into your training routine.
With these lifts you want to develop the strength to perform the exercise with correct lifting tempo which is explosive concentrically and then slow and controlled eccentrically.
The concentric part of an exercise is when you put the effort in to move the weight. The eccentric part is where you control the weight back. Recommended eccentric tempo for muscle building is 4 seconds.
The eccentric part of the exercise is the most beneficial for building muscle because it has been proven to cause most muscle stimulation which causes hypertrophy. Hypertrophy is the scientific name for muscle growth.
Finally you will want to eat around 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, as well as drinking plenty of water and plenty of green vegetables.
This is Ryan from the DVCC. Have a great day.
