[:en]The goal to build muscles is high on the wish list for many individuals. And it is logical, you get stronger, look better and feel healthier. There are multiple ways to work on muscles, so you should find the one that suits you best and is most effective.
First of all, you build muscles with resistance training. That means using weights or other forms of resistance to challenge your muscles. Next to that it’s very important to take proper care of your nutrition and take enough rest.
We will give you tips on how to achieve optimal muscle growth by effective training, good nutrition and rest. But first we will explore the most popular workout routines that might help you.
Strength Training
Lift heavy weights with lower repetitions and longer rest periods. Use exercises like deadlifts, bench presses and squats. These trainings help you build strength and increase the size of your muscles.

Hypertrophy Training
Lift moderate weights with more repetitions and shorter rest periods. You use this to increase muscle damage and metabolic stress. This training helps you increase the size of your muscles and definition.
Powerlifting
As the name already reveals, this kind of lifting involves heavy weights. With this training you maximise the strength in the squat, bench press and deadlift. This exercise does not primarily help you with muscle gain, but it’s a great secondary effect.
Bodybuilding
With body building you focus on aesthetics and specific muscle groups. It mostly involves high volume and frequent training for each muscle group.
So which workout is best for you? It depends on your goals, what you like when working out and how much experience you have. If you are a beginner you can choose a full-body strength training. For experienced fitness enthusiasts you can go for a combination of hypertrophy and strength training.
Whatever your level is, the key is to stay consistent and have patients. Fuel your body with proper nutrition, and take time in between to rest.
