Just this simple knowledge can help increase your power to build muscle up. For most begiiner bodybuilders and some intermediate trainers this is a little known secret that will help them immensly.

So what exactly is this well kept secret? An amazing new miracle pill or something?

No definitly not. It is something known as Cortisol and has actyually been known about for a long time but its affects are still ignored by some.

What precisely is cortisol?

Produced in response to stress placed on the body cortisol is a hormone released by the body throughout the day. Cortisol levels decrease gradually throughout the day from their highest point in the morning.

What exactly does it do?

Well it increases short term memory, helps rid the liver of toxins and helps regulate blood sugar levels. However it can raise blood pressure and decrease bone density if your cortisol levels get too high, however this would be unusual. However it will restrict muscle mass as it increases the use of muscle as energy and not fat stores. this is the reason that workouts should be under an hour long. After this they will actually be inhibiting their progress not speeding it up!

Here are a few guidelines to ensure that you are not wasting your time trying to build muscle up:

1) limit your cardio workouts, too much cardio causes the body to release cortisol which as explained is not what we need.

2) Cortisol levels also increase due to caffeine intake so try to keep this to a minimum.

3) Make sure your training sessions are less than an hour. Put headphones if you are easily distracted.

4) Try to relax as stress causes the body to release more cortisol.

5) Consume small frequent meals as infrequent meals make the body assume it is starving and will thus try and use muscle mass as a form of energy before it makes use of fat reserves by releasing more cortisol.

6) Sleep. This is when your cortisol levels are lowest and your muscle building hormones highest so aim for 8 hours if possible.

With those no nonsense muscle building tips in mind you should be able to give your workouts a great boost now you know how to gain weight fast more efficiently.
