There are two main objectives that people are armed with as they head towards the gym-- they either want to trim off excess weight, or pack on huge muscles. If you want to lose some pounds and tone up your body, then go on a low calorie diet and aim for high cardiovascular workouts. However, to build bigger muscle you will have to do the opposite. Load up on the calories and brace yourself for intense weight training exercises that will surely get you a massive physique.
Let us concentrate on the latter group of people for this particular article. If this is you, one of the first things you need to do is to amp up your body mass. Experienced trainers suggest a high intensity workout of 45 to 75 minutes. This means that you have to do your cardio on certain days and only minimally. A maximum of 90 second break between sets will help capitalize your training sessions.
There are many new exercise equipment and drills out there but the simplest ones are usually the most effective. For legs, you can never go wrong with squats. Change up the positions in executing squats and you can target the different sections of your leg area. Supplement these drills with calf raises and lunges.
There are differing opinions between bodybuilders regarding the most effective chest exercises one can use. The bench press is the standard exercise to get that massive chest going for you. However, a lot of people claim that the mobility of performing dumbbell flyes and pullovers work better than the bench press. The right or wrong answer ultimately rests on the individual. If you see that your body responds better to one method, then go for that. What is important is that your body is challenged to do better, and you can do this by varying the weights, reps/sets and drills of your program every few weeks.
To get big arms you cannot go without bench dips and barbell curls. To get even bigger, make it a point to raise the weight loads during succeeding training sessions. You will see and feel the improvement soon enough. Your arm muscles will feel bruised and when they do, do not go back to exercise them until the soreness is gone. Over training is detrimental to the trainer and should be avoided at all costs.
There are many different exercises you can use for the back and shoulder muscles but some of the most effective ones are pull-ups (for the back) and the military press (for the shoulders). Remember to change it up every two to six weeks to utilize your weight training exercises to its maximum productivity.
For bodybuilding purposes, strong aerobic training is not advisable. That being said, make sure you do not neglect your cardiovascular training by engaging in light running or sports every so often. Your goal maybe to bulk up; but it shouldn?t be at the expense of your heart?s health.
And finally, give your weight training exercises a boost by performing your best every single time. Sure, you can rush through your drills in poor form and lackluster energy but expect corresponding results. Go into it strong. You will not only get to build bigger muscle - you will get the satisfaction of a job well done.
