Today we have a special guest post from Ryan Riley, writer of http://exercisefitnessguru.blogspot.com.  This article focuses on some tips you can use to build more muscle mass fast.  Here you go!

So you want to build muscle mass fast? Let me be the first to tell you that it absolutely can be done and without resorting to illegal drugs such as steroids. Below are half a dozen muscle building tips that will have you packing on muscle faster than you ever thought possible.

1. If you are new to weight training, never workout less than 60 minutes or more than 90 minutes per day. After 6 to 8 months of solid gains, you can increase your workouts to as much as 150 minutes, or 2 ½ hours.

2. Consume 1.5 grams of whey protein per pound of bodyweight per day. This means if you weigh 165 pounds like I do you need to consume approximately 240 grams of protein per day. If you find that you simply can not consume this much protein per day, then make sure you take in at least 100 grams per day.

Stop Making Excuses, Start Getting Results!

Yesterday I saw a quote from fitness and weight loss giant Tom Venuto on Twitter that really got me thinking.  Here’s the quote:

You can either make excuses or get results, but you can’t do both!

How many of us are guilty of this?  How many of us really want to achieve something, but we let all of the excuses get in the way instead?  And what do we get in return?  A bunch of excuses and no results to show for it.

Overcoming Excuses

It’s easy to make excuses.  Life will continue to happen, things will always come up that seem to take priority, or we can always think of something else we’d rather do.

In the end, it all comes down to one thing: how passionate are you about your goal?  If you have a goal that you’re trying to achieve and you’re keyed in on that goal, you’ll stop making excuses.  Instead you’ll find ways to accomplish that goal because of your desire to do so.

Should You Mix Creatine and Caffeine?

Some of you may have heard or read out there that it is not a good idea to mix creatine with caffeine?  Have you ever wondered why?  Well, here are a few answers for you.

Theory 1 - Water Retention Problems

One theory out there is that creatine can help the body to retain more water, but caffeine acts as a diuretic.  So really the effects could cancel each other out.

This makes sense when you think about it, but according to CreatineMonohydrate.net this isn’t the real reason why you shouldn’t mix the two.

Theory 2 - Muscle Contractions and Relaxation

Let me quote from the article to explain another theory of why caffeine and creatine supplements don’t mix:
