Building Lean Muscle

Building muscle mass the lean way is your guaranteed way to keep a great shape all year round. Many people cringe at the idea of bulking because adding a few kgs of fat to your body for the sake of gaining a few kgs of muscle is unlikely to improve your physique. While bulking to some extent is necessary to reach your genetic potential, it's not everyone's goal to be as muscular as possible or it may be that you have done your bulking and are now content to add muscle to your body slower if it means staying lean. Besides if your training hard all year round why not look good all year round as well? Furthermore people don't usually realise that you don't have to be increasing muscle mass or decreasing body fat to be improving your physique. Have you ever wondered why it is that some bodybuilders may be the same weight as you and a similar body fat percentage but look 10x better? That's all from muscle maturity which happens simply by lifting weights and maintaining good nutrition over a very long period of time. The longer you train you more your muscle will improve in shape, proportion, fullness and vascularity which are great at creating the illusion of much larger muscles.
