1. Be consistent. Don't miss a workout.
You won't trigger growth if you're not stimulating the muscle. Being consistent in your training efforts is critical if you want to build a physique stacked with massive amounts of muscle.

2. Train with basic movements such as bench press, squats, and deadlifts.
Current research shows that lifts such are important for inducing muscle growth and stimulating the release of powerful anabolic hormones.

3. Get six to ten hours of sleep daily.
Sleep has a significant impact on the body's major anabolic hormonal systems and other anabolic hormones are released to encourage muscle growth.

4. Train each body part no more than once every five to seven days.
You must allow your body ample time to recover between workouts. To maximize muscle recovery it is best to wait at least five days.

5. Don't "ego" lift. Train for reps and blood volume in a rep range of 8 to 12 per set.
Higher volume, multiple-set training is shown to be more effective at increasing both protein synthesis and the body's production of anabolic hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone.

6. Eat every two to three hours.
Sizing up your meal plan to include six meals per day is essential for building massive muscle. Eating every two to three hours keeps your body in a musclebuilding state so you can continue to make muscle gains.

7. Do cardio three times per week for 30 minutes each session.
Cardio does more than burn fat. With cardiovascular activity, muscles actually undergo an adaptive process to become more efficient at utilizing energy., this creates an environment conducive to muscle growth.

8. Don't overtrain! A total of 9 sets for smaller body parts and 15 sets for larger body parts is enough. Use only three to five different exercises for each muscle.
In response to stresses caused by overtraining, the body produces a nasty little catabolic hormone known as cortisol, which breaks down muscle protein, decreases levels of testosterone, and promotes insulin (a musclebuilding hormone) resistance.

9. Use different angles when training.
When training with dumbells and barbells, use inclines and declines, or try switching up your grip.

10. Use quality post-workout supplements.
By adding the right high quality supplements, building rock-hard muscle will be a lot easier.
