Article Abstract by: Shuchee    

Original Author: Mateen S
So, you are frustrated that even after working out regularly, the results are disappointing. Recently I have read this article
by Mateen S. in selfgrowth.com and thought it will be good to let you people know some tips which can produce a better putput.
So, here they are :
1. Join a gym: Joining a gym can do a lot of good to you. It motivates you to exercise . Efforts determine results and gym allows for maximum efforts.
2.Create a weight- training journal:  Keeping a record is very useful. Record the exact wight, reps and sets you lifted on every workout, Add 5 lbs on major muscel exercises, 2.5 lbs on minor muscel group exercises on future workouts on a weekily basis to consistently grow.
3. Decide the days when you train and when you rest : Having a routine is really effective. So, better decide the days when you train and when you rest. You must know that overdoing anything is unhealthy, so do not workout more than 2 days in a row.
4. Warm up and stretch: Warm ups and stretches will make your mucles more felxible and prepare them oncoming assaults.
5. Master the 5 big exercises: If you cannot do them, then, the seeds of a great body are not simply in you. Here they are : Clean and press, Bench press, deadlifts, Barbell rows, Squats.
6. Strech in between exerciase sets : This is because soft tissues respond best when they are warm.
7. Keep workouts short but intense:
a. Your body loses glycogen reserves after heavy workouts.
b. After 40-50 minutes, cortisol, a catabolic hormones makes entry  sabotaging your efforts.
8. Drink water after every 1 or 2 sets : Gulp a few sips every now and then.
9. Warm down for 3-5 monutes : Doing so reduces muscle soreness and brings the heart rate back to normal.
10. Drink your post workout meal in the gym: Make drinking your protein shake with 40-60 grams of simple carbs a regular habit.
That''s all you need to get a better output.
