Muscle building programs are mostly created by weight lifters who have discovered "their way" to building big muscles.
However, in some cases these muscle building programs don't work. Why?
Here are 4 downfalls in many muscle building programs.
#1: Your Program Isn't Working Every Muscle
To build muscle, it is true you need to work on building the muscle you want to grow. This will only get you so far in your training and won't get you the results you want. You need to be working every muscle around the major muscle, which will in turn give you the most build up. Only working the muscle you want to build is like using a machine to train with. It limits your stability and all around strength. This will turn into having "fake" muscles, the ones with all show and no go. Using free weights will give you stability and the all around muscle building you need. Exercises including squats and deadlifts are the best for any muscle building.
#2: The Workout Time is Not Spent Effectively
You may have received your program from someone who was using the program daily, for hours on end, that may have lived in the gym daily. If you are looking for the short program, an hour or less for a few times a week, this program will take you that much longer in order to develop the goods. You need to find something that will be beneficial no matter how much time you have. This could be solved by using more weight with less reps and sets. This is much faster and more beneficial than those long, muscle straining programs out there that work your muscles to death and leave you in pain the for the next two days.
#3: Where is the Resistance?
Like mentioned before, you need to be using heavy enough weights to work out with. This is the reason why many of the work outs out there don't work, because they are using 50% of your "1 Rep Max" (1RM). You should be using about 80-85% of your 1RM. Anything below and you are never going to see improvements as your body will eventually become use to the work out and somewhat immune to it. This also calls for adding weight every work out in order to keep improving when you are performing your muscle building programs.
#4: More Recuperation During and After Workouts
During and after work outs, resting is important for your muscles to build. Instead of rushing to your next workout to get done faster, plan in more time and rest longer between exercises. This will give your muscles time to refresh and prepare for your next work out and put less strain on them.
After your work out, leave some time in your busy schedule to take a nap. This will give your body time to attend to your muscles. This could make or break your workouts' results. Also, at night, get as much sleep as you can, around 8 hours or more if possible. Make sure to relax during your day. Less stress will result in more muscle and better performance.
