1 Tip To More Muscle - Find Out How Long Your Workout Should Be

http://athleanx.com Back for another entry on the muscle building AthLEAN-X Training Blog. This one covers two common questions in one shot. Those being..."How do I build more muscle fast?" and "How long should my workout be?". It really comes down to something called Time Under Tension.

Go watch the average person working out in the gym and time how long it takes him or her to complete a set. The results might shock you. It takes the average person around 20-25 seconds to perform one set. Now, with hard scientific proof that shows that this is only about half as long as is needed to build real muscle mass fast, it's no wonder most people are running into a brick wall with their results.

Watch this video and make sure to add your comments below. How long does it take you to perform your sets? How long does it take you to workout?

When you are done watching, then get over to http://athleanx.com and get your hands on the exact
complete system that celebrity fitness trainer Jeff Cavaliere uses with his celebrity and professional athlete clients to get maximum muscle in minimal time.

Hey JDCav24, I saw your Breakfast video and i saw that you used skim milk, quick question. Does it matter if i use 2% milk with the oatmeal instead of skim? Hit me back

[JDCav24]

@XLinkinPark4Eva 2% is ok....but not as good as skim due to the fat content.

great vid JDCAV24 ! im speedy gonzales when it comes to reps . im about to change that. 1 question.. does this apply to body workouts like dips and push ups ?

[JDCav24]

Yep....applies to all of your lifting, unless your doing singles or very low reps for power. For size and strength though....this is the way to go!

hey JDCav, this might sound like a stupid question, but i play rugby and will doing this 1 up and 3 down help me become more explosive and stronger? thanks

[JDCav24]

Yep. The concentric portion of the rep is done with an explosive 1 second movemenet and the eccentric portion is done under strict muscle control for 3 seconds. Perfect combination of muscle stability and explosive mobility!

I thought it was all about how intense and fast you do your set, this video contradicts it??

@10k33 yes ad more weight

[l00k33]

Is there an ideal rest time between sets?

If doing a set that I finish with reps to negative failure, should the whole set still max out at 60s?

What I mean is if I can go longer than 60s then does that mean the intensity was too low?

[jkdocny]

hey jeff what do you think about Max Contraction workout?

[ty0885]

@blueleaf1717 most workout forums, body building articles, and muscle building studies suggest a min of 1g of protein/ pound of body weight, and a max of 2g/pound in order to build, fuel and maintain muscle. This should be done with a meal every 2-3 hours

In order to keep your body in the anabolic state that ingestion of protein creates.

[blueleaf1717]

@DeeDank tbh most peoples body doesn't respond very quickly to liftin weights until u get to about 18/19 unless u take drugs n that cos ur body still wants to keep growing up and not filling out yet. just be sure to have protein shakes when u finish working out and creatine and that kinda stuff and u'll be quite ripped in months

[blueleaf1717]

@downwithdea i dunno about 22 pounds dude in one year tbh it's more like 2 or 3 years to see that much growth espec if u stay away from roids and that, and just like anything else u shouldnt eat too much protein you should have about 60 - 70 grams throughout the day or u could be putting ur liver at serious risk
