So you're looking for an amazing workout to build muscle mass. The truth is that there is no magic workout that will make you pack on a lot of muscle mass. There are some required exercises and volume that will help you stimulate the most muscle growth, but it's what you do outside of the weight room that will bring you the best results.

I would like to share with you a simple, yet effective plan I've been using to build muscle. The first thing we need to look at is your current workout. The best exercises to put on mass are the bench press, squat, deadlift, pull-up, and military press. If you're looking to build mass, you definitely need to do these compound exercises. The next thing you have to examine is your set/rep scheme. It seems that doing 5X5 gets the best results for most people who are doing build muscle mass workouts. Make sure you switch up your set/rep scheme every 2 weeks to see the best results. This way your body won't ever become accustomed to your workout.

The next thing you need to do is to eat massive. Not only that, but you have to make sure what you're eating is healthy. Here is a little formula that will help you find out how much food you need to be eating to gain muscle mass. Multiply your existing weight by 20 and you'll have the amount of calories you need to build muscle. So if you weigh 170 pounds, you'll need at least 3,400 calories to gain muscle mass. I want to remind you that this formula isn't perfect, but for right now it is the best thing you can use. When you see that your results have slowed, add 250 calories to your diet and you should start to see results again.

The last thing you'll need in your build muscle mass workout is rest. I would try and get at least 8 hours of sleep each night for optimal muscle growth. While you are sleeping, your body is recovering from your workout. Your body releases HGH into your system to help speed up the healing process. Once your muscles are repaired, they come bigger and stronger than before.
