How do you get muscles fast?

To build muscles faster, increase your strength gradually, work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, and work each muscle group at least twice each week. A proper diet and adequate rest are also important when it comes to increasing muscle growth.

1. Increase your strength gradually

   Gradually increase the number of repetitions of strength-training exercises you perform each week. Also, gradually increase the amount of weight you lift or press until you achieve your desired strength.

2. Perform compound exercises

   Do strength training exercises that work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, such as a squats and lunges.

3. Work each muscle group regularly

   Work each area of your body at least two times a week. Never let a full week pass before working a specific group of muscles.

4. Eat a healthy diet

   Keep a journal to ensure you are consuming enough calories each day. Eat a diet rich in lean proteins, whole grains and healthy carbohydrates. When you take a day off from exercising, continue to eat a healthy amount of calories, since a lot of muscle growth occurs during the recovery phase.

5. Get enough rest nightly

   Adequate sleep helps in muscle recovery and growth. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep each night.
