Muscle Building Quickly

Cardiovascular exercise is kind of hard to talk about, from one hand too much of it will make it hard to build new muscle on your body and on the other hand you need it because it will help you get more oxygen into your muscles increasing your performance and burn flab off your body.

Whine about it if you want but unless you are on drugs you must do some running or cycling if you want to get into bodybuilding.

You also get the benefit of strengthening your heart.

Escalating Intensity Progression

What do the above words mean? its a type of cardio exercise that is short and effective.

So here is what you do: you should take 10 minutes before you start lifting, you should increase the intensity every minute, if you are on a treadmill you have to set the intensity to go higher on it every minute until you are running so hard that you can’t talk.

You can also do it by jogging but you must keep track of how much you are pushing yourself which is not recommended for beginners as they tend to go easy on themselves without realizing it.

After the 10 minutes are over you have gotten the oxygen circulating through your body and are ready to hit the weights.

Boxing And Bodybuilding

If you are wondering, “will boxing help me build muscle?”, the answer is no.

Why? Well boxing is a very aerobic sport, if you take a look at boxing legend Muhammad Ali you’ll notice he was not very big compared to say, Dexter “The Blade” Jackson.

Training for fights and training for bodybuilding are completely different ways of training, if you want to build more muscle you need to focus on weights more, if you want to focus on Boxing or MMA you will need to focus more on doing drills on the heavy bag and more importantly sparring with a partner.

Guys who are bigger generally make better wrestlers (no I’m not talking about that WWE stuff) but are not very good at cardio like runners.

So its up to you to choose what to focus on.

I personally think that there must be a balance between the two extremes.
