Your Best Body Now ? An Excellent Weight Lifting Program

By Emmanuel Palmer


Creating a body worthy of an Olympic champion is the offshoot of a solid weight lifting program that transforms the body?s weight to massive muscles and strength. What makes the bodybuilding workouts that comprise it effective? These workouts are always intense, progressive and specific to your body type.

High-intensity training works well for people who are aiming to gain significant body mass in a relatively short time. Some might prefer to build up on strength and endurance over a period of two to three months which is also fine. You will probably need a hybrid of the two methods; find the best one suited for your body. What is important is you give each session your all.

If one aspires to get a bigger physique in a hurry, your initial reaction is to hit the gym as often as you can right? Do not do this. It will actually do your body more good if you take long breaks in between training so the muscle tissues are allowed to heal and mend properly. Quality rest makes for bigger and stronger muscles. A proven strategy for a weight lifting program is split training certain muscle groups and assign it on certain days so you can plan your schedule better.

A three day split workout will give you something like this: 1st day ? chest, arms and stomach 2nd day ? back, shoulders and stomach 3rd day ? legs If you prefer to spread your workouts into the week you can also try this five day split plan: 1st day ? legs 2nd day ? shoulders 3rd day ? back and stomach 4th day ? shoulders and arms 5th day ? chest and stomach Concentrate on getting good food and sleep especially the rest days in between training.

You don?t really need a lot of fancy machines to have a successful workout. Even if you only have several weights of dumbbells, cables and a bench you have a whole catalog of drills you can base a program on. For the upper body try the bicep and triceps curl, dumbbell shrugs, lat pull downs and triceps kickbacks. Use the squats, calf raises, leg raises and squats for your lower body. Crunches will always be a staple that will work for anybody, but even then, you need to vary all these drills ever couple of weeks or so to challenge and push your body to its maximum potential.

When you start training, you will initially use lower weights. As your strength grows, so will the weight loads that you will be lifting?this will ensure that your muscles are consistently challenged, thus develop faster. For bodybuilding objectives, use weights that will enable you to do 7 to 12 repetitions until failure.

Lastly, do not forget to stretch well before starting your exercises and even between sets. Stretching raises your body?s temperature level and makes you more flexible; both of which contribute to favorable physical conditions for training.

Only the persevering and patient individual can see his bodybuilding workouts come to fruition. Exercise care in your training even as you give it all you?ve got. There is no room for less for the champion that is inside you.
