You can use full body training routines to train all your muscle groups in just one workout to build muscle mass or you can use full body training routines if you have missed some scheduled workouts and simply want to flush all your muscles with some fresh blood and avoid losing muscle. Although I do not think full body training in a single workout is the best way to gain a significant amount of muscle over the long term, performing a full body workout once per month is a great way to shock your muscles and help to stimulate new muscle growth.

Since not everyone has access to a gym or a range of weight training equipment I have put together a barbell and dumbbell only training routine that you can do at home. The only thing you will need other than a barbell with weights and two dumbbells is a flat bench. If you don’t have a flat bench you could use a wooden box of something similar that won’t break when you lay on it while holding weights.

If you are out of shape or just out of practice and your aim is to get fit fast why not try a combination of weight training and cardio to get your body in shape. By training with weights twice per week you allow your muscles to start toning up but by doing cardio 3 or 4 times per week as well you will get your body moving, pump up your heart rate and this is the best way to get fit fast while enjoying a variety of exercises and training routines so you don’t get bored.

Whether you are a beginner to weight training or a veteran bodybuilder 3 days per week weight training allows you to train each and every body part without suffering from the symptoms of overtraining. When I first started bodybuilding 20 years ago I would train almost every day, train every muscle group at least twice per week and sometimes my workouts would last for over 3 hours. Wow, how things have changed all these years later. Now days I am as big as I have ever been and train less than half as much, rarely ever do I get an injury anymore and love training even more at 37 than I did when I was 17.

Can you turn fat into muscle? The answer to this question is a definitive no when considering it from a physiological standpoint. Fat and muscle are made up of two different materials and this is basically why you cannot turn fat into muscle. However, don’t despair because you can do something to your body which would seem on the outside like you have turned fat into muscle.

The most important thing you need to know in terms of what to eat to get lean and muscular is a diet low in sugar. Actually I don’t like the word diet, I prefer to use the term eating plan. A diet sounds like something nobody wants to do, you can read more about it in the following article Why Diets Don’t Work.
