Hugh Jackman Workout- 5 Tips For Adding Muscle
Below is some nutrition rules for insane muscle growth. Whether you are focusing on doing the Hugh Jackman workout over and over, or whether you are doing Vince’s training, proper nutrition is vital for gaining size.
1. Eat a lot of good calories. This may sound obvious, but so many people complain because they aren’t growing in size yet continue to eat like a mouse. If you want to get big and jacked, then the calories need to add up.
A good rule of thumb is to eat 20 calories per pound of body weight. So if you are 150 pounds and you want to build up, then you should consume 3000 calories per day of good foods. Aim for 5 pounds of muscle mass per month. If you aren’t gaining that much, eat more. If you are gaining too much fat, eat less.
2. Don’t be afraid of eating fats. Low fat diets often decrease your test levels dramatically. Aim for about 20-30% of your calories coming form good fats. Such as olive oil, cottage cheese, peanut butter, salmon, nuts and red meat.
3. Eat good carbs. About a gram per pound of body weight. This will give you energy to pound through the day and workout to your full potential. Stick with good carbs like brown rice, oatmeal and potatoes.
4. Cut back on the alcohol. Yup I know that can be tough for some of us, but drinking and working out are polar opposites. All your efforts are being considerably harmed if you are constantly going out and drinking. You need to ask yourself what is more important? Drinking or looking amazing?
You don’t have to give up alcohol forever, but just while you are bulking up hard, its good to leave it out.
5. After your workout, stock up on carbs and protein. After your workout is a great time for eating a huge meal and delivering nutrients right to the depleted energy sources. Take advantage of this time and aim for 80 grams of carbs and 40 grams of protein. Some of my favorite meals include steak, tuna or chicken combined with a lage amount of pasta. YUM!
Now that you have some more information, go out there and start working out hard. My advice would be to perform the Hugh Jackman Workout routine from time to time for fun, but concentrate on Vince’s training for long term success.
