You want to be the body double of Dwayne Johnson-hey there's nothing wrong with that. Let me ask you though, how far are you willing to go to see that dream turn into reality? You can achieve that by following a grueling bodybuilding workout with specific weight lifting programs that will sometimes feel like torture. Are you up for it? If so, read on to see how.
Let's start with the chest-what lady can resist a broad, muscular torso on a guy? Make the most out of your exercise with sufficient warm up and stretching. This stimulates the blood flow to the muscles, cushioning it for the hard training up ahead.
Start with two sets of fifteen reps done on the bench press. Increase to three sets of heavier reps with dumbbell flyes. Emphasize your upper chest muscles by altering the degree to 25-30 degree. You can also opt to train your arms after your chest; again starting low and building up to the higher loads. Lift the weight load that will tire your muscles by the 8th rep of the set.
The best way to trim that tummy down is still doing crunches. Only remember to put your hands across each shoulder instead of putting it under your head. The latter position puts strain in your nape and can be a little painful. You can also do leg raises either while lying down or sitting down while holding on to the sides of a bench. For your obliques, take the appropriate weight on each hand and bend your body from side to side, much like a pendulum. Do it slowly because rushing this exercise, especially carrying weights, can give you lower back injuries.
Many gym goers who aspire to be bodybuilders are not as enthusiastic about working out their backs because they seldom see it anyway. You need to develop a strong back, this muscle group is important as it aids in the other exercises wherein you carry a lot of weight. As you begin, start with pull ups, dead lifts and chin ups. Later on as you progress incorporate more exercises like the lat pull downs, barbell shrugs (upper back); seated rows (middle back); and hyperextensions (lower back).
One of the most difficult body parts to see results in are the shoulders. Exercise these muscles with the seated shoulder press and change it up with machine presses, lateral raises and the military press. Warm up with 50% of the weights you usually carry before starting this muscle group. Always work out the shoulders before the triceps.
Training the leg muscles are easy because it develops quite easily; however the drills required for these are usually more physically taxing than the others. Squats are the basic bodybuilding workout for this. It works almost all parts of your legs depending on the variation you use. Include lunges, leg press and hamstring exercises to get those powerful thighs to carry the rest of your muscular body.
Weight lifting programs challenge us to be stronger men not just through big muscles, but through the tenacity in which we aggressively pursue our goals. In the end we go away not just with good health and a great physique; we get a champion's attitude to face every other challenge thrown at us-and overcome through it all.
