Gym memberships are comprised mainly by two very different groups of people: those who want to trim down, and those who want to bulk up. If you want to lose the excess pounds, you'll be put on a low-calorie and high-cardio program. To build bigger muscle however, you will go the opposite direction and increase calorie intake while undergoing a physically demanding weight training exercises aimed to get you that colossal physique.
For this article, we concentrate on those who want to build up their body. You will first of all need to gain a considerable amount of body mass. To accomplish this, trainers suggest 45 to 75 minutes of high intensity training. Cardio workouts will be done only minimally during certain days of the week. Maximize every session by taking only 90 second breaks between each set.
You will notice there are many fancy equipment and new drills but really, it's the simple ones that usually get the job done. For example, your legs will still get the most benefits in squats. Alter the positioning of your legs and you can target specific areas of this muscle group. Incorporate calf raises and lunges for best results.
The bench press is the classic chest exercise for men. You can alter it by changing up the angle to incline and decline regularly which will do your body well. There are some people who think there are better ways to build up one?s chest by performing dumbbell flyes and pullovers instead of bench press. There really is no right or wrong answer, do what your body responds well to as long as your body is constantly challenged and pushed beyond its comfort zone. Accomplish this by continually increasing weights and varying your reps and sets.
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.
Use pull-ups to exercise your back and military press (sitting and standing) to beef up your shoulders. There are a number of back and shoulder drills which you should also use but these are some of the most effective by far. Modify your workouts every two to six weeks because your body needs to be pushed to its endurance limits for your weight training exercises to work.
Because your goal is to gain weight and add on to your body mass, heavy cardiovascular workouts are not recommended. However, you still have to engage in light aerobic training regularly. Even if your fitness goal is to bulk up, your heart's health should take precedence before anything else.
And most of all, make the best out of your weight training exercises by hitting all your drills strong every single time. You can rush through the assigned number of sets with poor form but your body will not be fooled. Do your best, and not only will you build bigger muscle -you will feel better about yourself as well.
