Looking for some ways to build muscle?  There are many ways to go about it, but it all depends on what your goals are.  Do you want a body like Brad Pitt in Fight Club or Brad Pitt in Troy?  One is the lean muscular look the other is a more bulked up look.  Or maybe you want to go for the bodybuilder physique, but whatever your goal is, it’s most definitely going to take some hard work.
Here are 2 of the main ways to build muscle:

Calisthenics

This is what the ancient Romans used to do before battle.  It’s basically exercising using your own bodyweight.  Here are some examples:

Sit-Ups
Crunches
Push-Ups
Pull-Ups
Squats
Calf-Raises
Dips

Now if you’re looking to put on any decent amount of muscle, I’d strongly recommend you DO NOT go this route, as far as I’m concerned this is outdated, you had better go with the other way to build muscle which is:

Weight Lifting

In weight lifting you can use much more than your bodyweight which leads to more muscle breakdown and bigger muscles.  Also depending on if you want a lean muscular body or a bulky one, you can adapt your diet and still get one or the other, just because you’re lifting heavy weights doesn’t mean you’re going to wind up bulky.  It’s all about diet, if you’re not eating enough to get yourself all bulked out, you’ll never wind up with that kind of body!

So out of these two ways to build muscle, assuming you’re going with the latter, what kind of system can you put in place for yourself to add some quality mass?  Well, there are plenty out there, but few can bring the fast gains that Vince’s No-Nonsense Muscle Building plan can(provided you stick to it 100%).  To see what I’m talking about, click on this link for more information.
