Increase your knowledge of muscle building before you try to increase your muscles. To get the most out of your workout effort, begin to gather information about the most effective techniques for fast results. Use the following advice to sculpt and build your body.

A common problem is the willingness to sacrifice form for speed. Instead of trying to squeeze in as many reps as possible, focus instead on completing your reps slowly and correctly. Don't rush, and focus on doing each rep with proper form.

Strenghtening your thighs can help prevent sports injuries to the knees. Avoid the most common injury, which is torn muscles and ligaments along the back of your legs. Make sure to exercise hamstrings and quads to make your knees safer. Leg extensions, leg curls, squats, and lunges are all exercises that will work the upper leg muscles.

Your core supports your whole body and needs to be strong. A solid and stable core will aid you with all of your exercises. Doing sit-ups can help your core to improve. Doing sit-ups also increases range of motion. This will support your abdominal muscles in working harder with greater endurance.

Ramp up your food intake on days when you will be doing your muscle-building workouts. Approximately 60 minutes prior to exercising, consume calories. That doesn't mean you can eat whatever you want, but that you need to eat a bit more on training days.

No matter what kind of exercise you're doing, wear the right shoes to do it. Doing many kinds of exercises with inappropriate footwear can put you at risk for a lot of different injuries, some of them quite serious. In addition, it will make you feel uncomfortable when you're done, which can make you not want to exercise as much.

Don't rely on your "limits" to know when to stop a set, instead allow your body to physically be exhausted. With every set, it is important to exert yourself to the point of being unable to go any further. It may help to reduce your set lengths in the beginning if you get overtired.

Muscle building is about more than going to the gym a lot or having extreme dedication to it. You must approach your muscle building with the right attitude. Use these suggestions to design your own muscle program and get stronger faster.
