• There are many ways to grow a muscle. When you see around yourself in gyms what coaches train and in literature, you will find a lot of ways that actually work. But are they long-term? Are they building the muscles to the extent you want as a beginner in bodybuilding? Are they compatible with your work routine and other matters in your life? That is the question. For example, you may have seen people often train very light and super high reps to build their muscles. They also get results from this. But to your surprise, they are short term. That way is not right if you want to build your muscles for a long time.

• There can be many ways to muscle building but there are only a few ways for building your muscles for the long term that you can say optimal and fulfill all the requirements. There are also certain ways that will build your muscles fast and bigger in a very short span of time. But of course, those ways are worse for your body's health and should be avoided. For example, some people use steroids for muscle building, and of course, they do find results, and that too in a short span of time. But at what cost are they getting big muscles? That is the thing for you to ponder upon. The following are three optimal ways to build your muscles;

• The first way is the high-volume training. In this way, you are focusing on one particular group of muscles, such as the biceps or triceps, and then you do more reps and sets in a day than other muscle groups. This will increase the mass of muscles in that part of the body.

• The second way is metabolic summation. It is also a way to increase the mass of the muscles in your body. Metabolic summation refers to the point where energy is depleted, no more ATP is produced, and your body starts depending on anaerobic respiration. This happens when you do a lot of exercise for a sufficient time enough to deplete all your energy stores. Metabolites such as lactate accumulate in your body.

• The third way is the proper fatigue management. In this, you do exercise, but you also make sure that you are recovering and doing rest after the exercise. You are healing your injuries. You are not overburdening yourself. You are doing a lot of exercise in this method also but you are recovering too.
