An Excellent Guide To An Effective Bodybuilding Workout

By Emmanuel Palmer


Do you want body like the Terminator? Many people do. Problem is, not everybody is willing to do the hard work to get there. If you want a great physique you will need a bodybuilding workout complete with weight lifting programs that pushes you to go beyond your perceived endurance. So the question really is; how bad do you want it? If you think you can take the challenge, this article will help you achieve your goal.

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?. 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.

Even if a well-developed back seldom get appreciative glances unlike the chest of biceps, you need to work this muscle group out a lot because it is a cornerstone of your body's muscular strength. You use this muscle group a lot in and out of the gym. The best back workouts for beginners are the pull ups, chin ups and dead lifts. After a while include the upright rows and lat pull downs for the upper back; one arm dumbbell rows and seated rows for the middle back; and bent over barbell rows for the 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 give us an opportunity to exercise not just our muscles but our grit and determination to accomplish difficult undertakings. At the end of the day you not only take home a fit and muscular physique; you get a champion?s heart that will take you anywhere in life.
