Take a moment to congratulate yourself when you achieve a goal and let it inspire you to head back to the gym and drive on to the next goal. Having short-term goals keeps a fire lit and gives you incentive to train hard.

Break down your long-term goal into smaller increments. For example, if you want to gain 50 pounds of muscle over the next year, then you could make your first short term goal to gain five pounds during your first month of weightlifting.

2. Make A Vow: Do not let lack of commitment be the reason you fail to pack on muscle. Do not let confusion lead to lack of commitment. Get a hold of a good weight lifting program so you have a step-by-step plan to follow on your way to achieving your muscle building goals.

You could also tear your muscle, which would be unpleasant but even worse; it would delay your muscle building progress. When you lift weights with proper form, you don't have to worry about injury. Proper technique has a bigger benefit than safety, however, and that is its muscle building power.

It is not as simple as lifting as much weight as you can bear, because too much weight causes you to lose proper form. Only use the max amount of weight you can handle while still maintaining proper technique and you will have optimal results.

5. Development: Take things a step at a time. You will not gain 50 pounds of muscle overnight. Thinking that far into the future can even be daunting. Cut it into smaller chunks. Develop your muscles to the point where you gain five pounds over the next four weeks. Give your muscles time to develop equally in a logical fashion so your whole body benefits from your weight lifting efforts. Think about these five weight training tips before you begin your next workout and maybe they will help you get better results.
