Ways To Build Decent Muscle Mass Affordably

There are so many guys that are interested in building more muscle so they can improve their physique and become more muscular but are discouraged because it seems impossible to do that if you don’t excess money to spend.

If you barely get by every month, then a monthly gym membership, bodybuilding supplements and extra protein foods are likely going to be too expensive for you and out of your budget.

However, you can still build an impressive amount of muscle mass without having to clean out your little savings. There are different ways to engage in weight training, get extra calories (from protein) and still have money to save.

First of all, you must look for where to get foods at an affordable price, since you would need more lean protein in your diet when you start training.

Weight Training On A Tight Budget

If you join a gym, then you would have access to different machines that you can use to train. The issue is that some gyms are more expensive than others. This is why you would have to look for a gym that offers affordable gym membership. 

There are a lot of generic gyms that sell memberships that are $10 - $15 per month.

If you’re in a situation where you cannot even afford to a monthly gym membership, you would have to get some home gym equipment like gym bench, dumbbells, barbells and Kettlebells. This equipment can be bought second hand, so you do not have to worry about buying them brand new.

Although it would definitely cost you more than $15 to buy equipment for your home gym, you would not have to spend anything again. So it is well worth your while to save and get them so you no longer have to worry about whether you have extra money to pay for your gym membership each month.

Getting Cheap Sources For Protein Foods

For people that have lots of money to spend, they go for expensive whey protein supplements and the likes of them. However, there are ways to get protein (which is important for bodybuilding) at afford prices; you just have to look for them.

Once you find a store selling protein foods at affordable prices (or whenever the food stores near you are offering discounts) stock up on them so that you can take advantage of their low prices.

I would advise that you also include eggs in your daily diet. They are affordable and are among the best sources of protein that you can get from real food. 

And make sure you also eat the yolk because it contains twice as much protein, vitamins and minerals as the albumen (egg white). Eating whole eggs is perfectly healthy (more details on that here).

Another good source of protein that is affordable is canned tuna. Aim to eat at least one can of tuna every day and you would be supplying your body with high quality protein that would help your in building muscle.

Another choice you can add to your diet is canned mackerel. It contains lesser amounts of trace mercury than canned tuna and you may even like the taste better.

Milk and cottage cheese are also cheap protein options that you can add to your diet. They are usually low-priced in most supermarkets.

If you don’t like milk or cheese, you can go for whey which is basically a milk protein. It is a powder form so you can add it to your oat meal or custard. It is an affordable way to increase your protein intake without having to eat more food.

And finally, I highly recommend you add more chicken breast to your daily diet. It is an easy source of protein. To get it at an affordable price, wait till when it is being offered at a discount so you can buy a lot and put in your freezer.

As long as you are willing to put extra effort, you can get a lot of quality foods needed for your bodybuilding at affordable prices.

There you have it, now you know how to build muscle without spending a lot of money.
