It always amazes me how, in an effort to build muscle mass as fast as possible, so many people (especially men) fall for the “more is better” thinking when it comes to their workout routines. But muscle growth, just like many things worth pursuing in life, is more about the quality of the work you put into it, not just the quantity. And this, my friend, is the main principle you need to drill in your head. Don’t let your ego rule your weight lifting routines – concentrate on proper form.
Executing your weight training routines with proper form is just one of the many elements an effective program must have in order to help you get big muscles. The other elements are progressive overload, tempo, having a bodybuilding diet that complements your goals, variation, rep range, warming up and stretching, core stability, considering muscular imbalances and proper posture, etc.
Ignore these elements and all your work will just go to waste, or you’ll reap sub-optimal muscle growth and over all results. If you really want big muscles, you must do what really works. If you don’t know what that is, then educate yourself by learning from reputable sources like Vince DelMonte and Tom Venuto.
