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.
So how do you build bigger muscle? This is how it works: physical activity, especially the ones that involve heavy lifting of weights, put little rips on your tissues. Don't be too alarmed, that is completely normal. As you sleep, special glands are released to repair and develop these rips; helping form bigger and stronger muscles that can endure the added stress placed upon it.
Always start your training with a few minutes of warm up. If you are planning to bulk up, 10 to 30 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise will suffice. Practice warm up as a pre-exercise regimen to ensure optimal performance as it stimulates blood flow to vital organs like the blood, lungs and your muscle tissues. It also raises your body temperature, as with stretching. Stretch thoroughly between sets to prepare your muscles and ease soreness the next several 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.
You can check with experienced trainers and they would all agree that a two to four day split training that concentrates on specific muscles, will benefit your body the best. You can divide workouts according to your upper and lower body or between muscle groups that work together. Keep in mind that to ensure maximum productivity in your training sessions, work the bigger muscles first before proceeding to 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.
