Let me ask you a question, how does hanging out with beautiful people and getting special favors sound? Great, right? If you want a lifestyle similar to that, you can either go out and get a record deal; or look as good as you possible can with what you have today. If you don't have a naturally muscled frame that's alright-all you need are determination and motivation to achieve your goals.
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.
You will find an assortment of machines and drills that you can utilize for your training. The important thing is to strategize and plan your training and establish the frequency, reps/sets and weights you will be using to fully maximize the muscle groups you exercise on any given day.
Beginners should do around 2 to 3 sets of 12 reps of lower weight loads. The weight should be heavy enough that the target muscle will be unable to lift the weight after the 12th repetition. Experiment on what this would be for you. If your goal is to build bigger muscle, take only 60 to 90 seconds of rest in between sets.
Ask any professional trainer and they will advise a two to four day split training on specific muscle groups. You can either split between the upper (arms, back, chest, shoulders) and lower (legs, stomach) body; or between muscles that work together. Always train the bigger muscles and work your way down to the smallest to ensure that you get the most out of each workout session.
Listed below are some exercises to help you get started: Legs- squats, front squats, lunges and leg press Chest- barbell bench press, dumbbell bench press (flat, decline or incline) Back- T-bar rows, lat pull downs and deadlifts Shoulders- dumbbell rear felt flyes and military press (sitting and standing) Arms- dips, barbell curls and close-grip bench press Stomach- crunches and leg raises
Never neglect your fluid intake especially as you begin your training regimen; drink around 10 to 12 glasses of water per day. Take time to cool down and stretch well after workouts; it will do your body good. If you have any pain in your body that is clearly not muscle soreness, go to your therapist as soon as you are able. Your weight lifting workout is ready-start it today and see the results early. Enjoy!
