Quickest Way To Lose Weight

How long does it take to build muscle is a question a bit like how long is a piece of string.

It takes the time it takes. You just have to keep working on it and doing it the right way.

A mesomorph and an endomorph body type will build muscle much faster than an ectomorph, but you can speed up the process in the following ways:

Always train with good form and work slowly without swinging your body to support your weights.

Always work to your body type.

Mesomorph – heavy weights, moderate number of reps, medium rest between sets.

Endomorph – heavy weights, more reps (to work on the fat deposits), short rest between sets.

Ectomorph – lighter weights to start with, few reps and longer rest between sets to avoid burning up your muscles instead of building them.
