How to know if you can pump?

Each person is individual. The ability to quickly increase muscle volume depends on many factors. Let’s see if you can pump quickly?

A beautiful body is perhaps the dream of every person. Swollen legs, neat buttocks, spectacular relief of muscles… Only here to achieve such impressive results is not easy. Many beginners are really puzzled: why does one athlete pump muscles in a few months, and another is forced to train for years? It turns out that the effectiveness of training depends not only on the frequency of training sessions and the attention of athletes — there are a number of other reasons.

First of all, this is a genetic predisposition.
Beginning athletes are especially interested in the question: Can proper physical preparation of the mother and father have a beneficial effect on the speed of muscle building of their child? Of course, can.

Each person is prone to a certain type of physique. Some quickly gain muscle mass, others remain slim even with regular training. The first category is called mesomorphic or endomorphic, and the second-ectomorphic.

In order to determine which type you belong to, you can conduct a small test. «Hug» your wrist with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand, then measure the circumference. It turned out that it is smaller than 17.8 centimeters? You ectomorphic and gain muscle mass will be significantly more difficult than other people. Did the results show between 17.8 and 19 centimeters? So you belong to the category of mesomorphs and training for you will be more effective. Well, if the wrist circumference is more than 19 centimeters, then you are an endomorphic, and it will not be difficult to build muscles.

Another important factor is the level of hormones in the human body. It is worth noting that people who tend to gain muscle quickly have higher levels of testosterone — this directly affects the rate of muscle growth and their willingness to increase the volume, respectively, the higher it is, the faster the muscles will develop. The level of cortisol in the blood, on the contrary, should be low — this reduces fatigue, thereby helping to exercise longer and restore the body faster.

It is worth paying attention to the speed of metabolism. The body can react differently to carbohydrates that come from food and produce insulin in different ways, which is directly related to the effectiveness of training. Sports metabolism is also good because in people who regularly exercise, excess energy goes into the muscles, while in other people it smoothly «flows» into fat.

However, the main thing that is necessary for a good athlete is the right motivation. It will achieve excellent results even when the hands drop. Many people with good genetic characteristics do not get impressive effects simply because they are not motivated enough. That is why, first of all, it is worthwhile to set goals, set tasks and carefully think over a training plan and proper Nutrition.

Compliance with all these rules will help to build about a kilogram of muscle per month. It seems that this is a little, however, an increase in muscle mass of twelve kilograms per year radically changes any body.

Thus, the key to the success of a beginner athlete consists of four factors:

The proportions of the body allow you to easily create a sporty silhouette with wide shoulders. Mesomorphs are most predisposed to this type.
Rapid metabolism. The right metabolism is responsible for the correct distribution of calories and helps to turn any figure into perfection.
High testosterone levels. This hormone helps to develop muscle mass and, with regular training, maintain it for a long time.
Competent Motivation. By and large, this is the main factor that makes it possible to succeed. You may have slow metabolism, low levels of «male hormone» and unsportsmanlike body proportions, but if you really want to succeed, you will succeed.
