Everyone wants to look great, who doesn't? You get more admiring glances and you even get special favors once in a while; but more than anything you feel better about yourself. If you weren't born with a wrestler's body, thank God that would be too scary. However, if you are naturally skinny or hefty, you still can a great physique if you have enough determination, motivation and maybe get a little bit of kick out of physical pain-the good kind only.
We will begin with learning the science behind how to build bigger muscle. When you exercise, the heavy weights that the body lifts put tears in the muscles. Rest, especially a good night's sleep, help restore and build up the tissue to endure the stress put upon it-hence the bigger muscles that physical training results in. Here is an effective weight lifting workout designed to help your body pack on the muscles you've always wanted.
Always do some warm up exercises before working out. This stimulates blood flow to your heart, lungs and muscles; moreover raising your body's temperature for optimal training performance. If you plan to bulk up, do only 10 to 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. Stretch before, during and after your workout to minimize soreness the next few days.
There are many exercises and equipments that are available to aid you in your training. What you need to focus on is a plan wherein you can take advantage of the muscle groups trained that day. Study and determine the best program that will specify the frequency of your workouts, the appropriate reps and sets used, and the weight load you will be lifting.
As you start, try 2 to 3 sets of lower weights done in 12 reps. The weight is chosen according to the load that exhausts the target muscle by the 12th repetition. Use more manageable weights first and experiment on succeeding sessions on what will work best for you personally. If the aim is to build bigger muscle then rest between sets should be about 60 to 90 seconds only.
Experienced trainers will suggest a two to four day training to maximize your work out sessions-allowing you to focus and work hard on specific muscle groups on certain days. Try dividing between your upper (back, chest, arms, shoulders) and lower (legs, stomach) body if that works for you. You can also train muscle groups that work together on the same days. Remember to exercise according to the size; start with the larger muscles first before proceeding with the smaller ones.
These are some drills you can use for your workout: Stomach- crunches and leg raises Arms- dips, close-grip bench press and barbell curls Shoulders- dumbbell rear felt flyes and military press (standing and sitting) Back- lat pull downs,T-bar rows and deadlifts Chest- barbell bench press, decline bench press and incline bench press Legs- lunges, leg presses and squats
Always take plenty of fluids, around 10 to 12 glasses of water, to fuel your body during workout sessions. Do not forget to cool down by stretching thoroughly after exercise and consult with your therapist immediately for any unusual pain you feel in your joints and muscles. Now you have an excellent weight lifting workout-- go forth and multiply your muscles. - 26706
