Muscle building routines can be found by the hundreds all over the internet.
Most of them however are not directed to the beginner bodybuilder who has yet to build a solid foundation of muscle and strength.
Indeed, most routines are geared towards the intermediate to advanced bodybuilder.
So before a beginner follows a muscle building routine he should learn some basic principles that make the good routines work.
Focus on the Big 3 The Big 3 are the squat, the deadlift and the bench press.
These exercises alone will help you put an impressive amount of muscle all over your body.
Not only that, they will give you the strength necessary to make the most out of the other exercises.
A basic example of how to focus on these muscle builders is doing squats on Mondays, bench press on Wednesdays and deadlifts on Fridays.
Eat Big to be Big What this means is that in order for the routines to work aka "build muscle" you will have to eat enough food to: a) sustain the intensity of your workout and b) pack on the muscle.
Eating big is eating 4 to 6 times per day, eating 1g of protein per pound of body weight and eating enough food so that you gain 1 pound of bodyweight per week.
Remember to check the scale every week.
If you are not gaining weight you are not gaining muscle.
Now that you have understood those 2 basic concepts you can make your own muscle building routine.
Once you are strong enough you will be able to do more advanced routines.
