Tips For Helping Build Muscle Mass In The Body As You Age

Building muscle is an important part of working out and keeping healthy, but it can be harder to build muscle mass as you age. Some people like to just do cardio, whilst others just prefer to do weighted workouts. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with doing either separately, the biggest benefit is doing a bit of both. Incorporating both into the workout routine that a person does, will help create a balanced body. Here are our tips on how to build muscle mass in the body as you age.

Why is it important to build muscle?

Building muscle mass is important, especially when it comes to protecting your bones and helping keep the body strong. Research shows that doing a single set of 12 to 15 repetitions with the proper weight is going to be enough to build muscle efficiently.

As humans get older, the body becomes weaker naturally, and aiding it with strength workouts can help counteract that to some extent. Whilst it won’t stop the aging process (unfortunately), it can certainly help to feel more young and spritely!

Focus on climbing the weight ladder

As a person starts incorporating weights into their routine, it’s good to focus on climbing the weight ladder. That means once the body has become used to a particular heaviness of weight, opt up to the next available weight. So for example, a person can start off with 1.5kg and then go up to 3-4kg once they find the 1.5kg weights easier to lift.

By going up in weight, it’s going to build the muscle, making it strong and in some cases, bulkier depending on the desired effect required.

Take SARMs

There’s nothing wrong with getting a little help in building muscle mass, especially if the individual is having trouble doing so. With a product like MK-2866, a SARM that is designed to help build muscle mass and reduce muscle wasting, it’s ideal for those who have seen a decline in their muscle due to age or need that extra aid to boost the efforts they’re making in the gym.

Any type of supplement that helps the body get to where it needs to be is a good thing to try and though it might not be for everyone, these products are helpful to others.

Add in the right foods

The right foods are important for any diet in and everyone’s body. Whilst it’s not really beneficial to go on a diet where food is being cut out, it’s always good to have one where certain foods are being added in.

When building muscle, there are certain foods that are going to help contribute to the efforts made when working out and enhance the results that the person sees. With that said, a few food recommendations to incorporate include; lean meats, dairy, eggs, whole grains, beans, and lentils.

This list isn’t exhaustive, but it certainly helps to contribute to muscle growth if incorporating at least one or two of these.

Use these tips to help build muscle mass in the body as you age

If an individual is struggling to add muscle mass to their body, then weighted workouts and these tips mentioned above will certainly help.
