The common goal that is shared within anyone who is looking to improve their physical body shape through bodybuilding is that they are constantly looking to add lean muscle mass in exchange for a reduction in excess body fat.With that in mind, does it mean that those that are large in terms of the amount of muscle that they have on their frame are naturally gifted with the strength that would be associated with large muscles?The fact of the matter is that although the natural body has the ability to be able to create, regenerate and strengthen muscles, nothing comes as a pair within those factors, so in order to add lean muscle mass and increase strength, you have to perform exercises that specifically target each goal. Scientific studies that have been conducted in the past have shown that people of roughly the same size both share the ability to be able to add the same amount of strength to their muscle tissue but that doesn’t mean that they can succeed in doing so without targeting the goal of adding the strength into the tissue fibers.As you will have seen in the gym, different weight lifters are able to handle a variance of resistances, even though the heavier weight lifters could be smaller than some of their peers.This is due to the focus that they have being broader than that of the gym user that has focused primarily on simply gaining muscle size.There are a number of misconceptions when it comes to gaining muscle and adding strength to your frame, especially when you are first starting out on a bodybuilding programme.One of the main misconceptions that seems the haunt new and inexperienced bodybuilders is that they believe that if you focus on adding strength to your muscles, the gains will happen alongside the growth but that is incorrect and you are simply strengthening the muscles that you already have rather than building new, bigger muscle tissues.Obviously this means that if you are not focusing on exercises that are going to allow your body to add growth into the size of your muscles, you are going to hit a point where you will fail to see any return for the workouts that you are conducting, simply due to the fact that the muscles that you have can’t handle any more strengthening.This means that you need to be trying to work both of the goals with each and every workout that you are having, allowing your muscles to grow while strengthening them as you do so.Getting the right balance of the two will not only increase the look of your results but will also make them solid gains rather than simply adding one or the other.
