These days it’s confusing on which workout to follow when it comes to maximizing your gains. But the truth is, it varies depending on your body type. There’s just the effective, and not. What you can do is to try them all, and if one doesn’t work, then try the other. There are other factors that you have to consider, too, such as your diet and other habits.

This article aims to give you a training technique to boost muscle size, and let’s start with this very interesting article by Lou Schuler on Men’s Health about how much muscle you can really gain:

What’s the Most Muscle You Can Gain?

I saw my first bodybuilding show in the early 1980s. It was an amateur contest in St. Louis, my hometown. The range of physiques on display was astounding. Read more…

And here’s a four-step strategy to get the most muscle gains out of your workouts by Michael J. Rudolph, Ph.D on Muscular Development:

FOUR STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PUMP & BOOST MUSCLE GAINS

Without a doubt, one of the more satisfying outcomes from intense weight training is the surplus of blood that rapidly fills your muscles as you train. This phenomenon, known as cellular swelling, or more commonly as “the pump” creates a euphoric feeling primarily because it provides a considerable, albeit temporary, increase in size of the muscle being trained— giving a sense of accomplishment that strokes the ego just a bit.

Lastly, personal trainer Kevin Lilly shares Joe Weider’s “Giant Set” 8-week workout program on Muscle and Fitness:

USE GIANT SETS FOR GIANT GAINS

It’s easy to imagine Joe Weider as having been supremely satisfied when he came up with the name “Giant Set.” Joe was big on buzzwords, and giant was the perfect descriptor of a training technique that would help turn a skinny young man into a fully grown young man. Joe thought the concept of the giant set made perfect sense, too: Overload a single muscle group with four or more exercises done consecutively to maximize blood flow to the area and spark new muscle gains. He documented the practice, making the giant set one of his Weider Principles, and he used the technique himself over and over, then advised bodybuilders on employing it. Significant size was added by all, and the giant set has been utilized by gym rats for at least the past 50 years. Read more…

In addition to this training technique to boost muscle size, you also have to make sure you follow a balanced diet. You can increase your protein intake, but remember to consume a fair amount of healthy fat and carbs as well. Aim for raw and whole foods, and more fruits and vegetables. Processed foods will only mess up with your weight loss and muscle goals. You may take supplements, but do NOT rely on them alone.

Make sure to not overtrain, too, because that may only do more harm than good. Start with less and raise that as your fitness level increases.
