           You need a good bodybuilding workout to pack on muscle mass, while a great sweat is not yet a sign of it. Also, you need bulking training and not just lifting some weights and thinks that you have done all right. You are far from the truth. Building muscle is about progressive overload - making your every training a bit difficult than the previous one.

Progressive overload is about putting a continued stress on your body to make it grow. No progressive overload means that you body doesn’t need to adapt to something new, thus no gains in strength and muscle mass are achieved, and you just keep the muscles you have.
Progressive overload lays on the basis of strength training and is not less important than diet, rest time or exercise program you decided to follow for building the appearance you dream of. Experienced bodybuilders have passed already through progressive increase of demand put on muscle, because they manage to pack on great amount of muscle mass and now more worried about how to keep it.

Set up a training program that fits you best, change what you don’t like and stick to for a time enough to get your first results.

           After a while, if you are not happy with what you go you may go for another workout program. Here are some “Reasons to change your workout routine for building muscle mass”.

It’s characterized by very fast intervals of exercising alternated with slow or moderate intervals of exercising.  You give the maximum effort during fast part of physical activity, not less than 90%. The second part is executed at a lower rate, with at least 60% of your maximum effort.
