How to Increase Lean Body Mass
Going to the gym is something everyone tries at least once in their life. It is a way for everyone to try and bring about changes in their physical self, as they look to try improve how they feel and look.
However, once everyone starts going to the gym, one of the problems that they seem to encounter is to build body mass.
Most people think building mass is what they want to do, but what they don’t realize is the fact that what they actually want to do is build lean body mass.
The difference between the two, is that when your mass is lean, that means that you have more cuts on yourself, giving you that chiselled look that everyone strives to achieve.
Nonetheless, trying to get that look is no easy task and it requires a lot of hard work and dedication to be able to achieve it.

1
Use Heavy Weights
The first thing that you need to do is max out the weights that you are going to use. Use the heaviest possible weights that you feel comfortable lifting and then slowly keep increasing the amount of weight that you are using.
This is going to go on and help you build the mass that you require.

Do more sets with light weights
Once you achieve the desired mass that you wished to have, you need to start to rip it up and get the definition out on those muscles.
In order to do this, you need to go on and do a lot more sets, and a lot more reps. This will tone down your muscles, give them definition and will make them pop out.
This is no easy task, and you may have to do this for a very long time before you actually go on and see any results.

Cardio
The next step to complete your path to building lean mass is to do some cardio. You are going to need to do this in regular intervals.
However, one thing that you need to look out for, is that you can’t over train yourself during your cardio sessions.
Over training yourself will go on and rip your muscles, but doing it too much can end up sacrificing the mass that you took so long to develop.
At the same time, don’t do your cardio training like a marathon, pace yourself and do it with a decent amount of breaks in between.
