Tell me something, do you feel good after a good workout session? I stress the word 'after' because one rarely has a smile when he trudges into the hallowed grounds of the fitness center. Even if many times you don't feel like working out, notice that you feel much better physically when you do. You're body releases chemicals that make you happy and not only that, you are sharper mentally because of it. How so? Imagine you need to concentrate on executing the drills in the correct form and manner, with the appropriate number of reps and sets-all the while feeling extreme physical discomfort. Weight training programs push you to your limits and the result is a great physique you can be proud of.
So are you ready to get it on? Here are some information on some of the best muscle building workouts that is sure to help you get body in great shape the best possible way. There are two main weight training methods professional trainers use: the high intensity and the periodization training.
The first type of training is probably more painful but will yield faster results. High intensity training is exercising to your maximum capacity in the shortest time possible. Sessions last for only about 60 to 90 minutes twice or thrice a week. As your body develops more and more in strength, you are expected to regularly increase the weight and reps for each set you perform. By utilizing high intensity training workouts, you are putting a big physical demand on your body and the consequence is a better body in a shorter time.
Periodization, on the other hand allows your body more time to get accustomed to the physical strain you are subjecting it to. This method of exercise trains you in phases: three weeks of light training, two to three more weeks of medium training and followed by heavy training. The thrust of this philosophy is to gradually build up your strength and muscle mass over a period of time. By giving your body more time and different levels to work with-- over training is avoided and the body remains engaged with the different phases it has to grow into.
While both high intensity and periodization training have its own advantages; the best muscle building strategy is to get what is most effective for you personally and use it in your workout. Experienced trainers can all attest to a three or four day split workout, this infuses each session with high energy and challenge without too much volume that makes for over training. Vary the weights and drills every so often for maximum productivity.
There are many different workouts you can try per muscle group. You can never go wrong with the squats for the legs. Throw in some lunges and leg curls while you're at it. For the arms, make use of dumbbell curls and barbell wrist curls. The back is one of the bigger muscle group; use barbell shrugs, seated rows, rope pull downs and hyperextensions for the lower back. Train your shoulders with the seated shoulder press and military press and employ the bench press (change up the angles to incline, decline and back to flat) for your chest workout. Finish it off with the classic crunches or the more challenging leg raises to tighten your abdominal muscles.
Look for weight training programs that challenge you to raise the standards of your physical endurance-they are the best training to have. Whatever motivations you have be it health, strength or a better physique you can flaunt-you can have it if you keep on keeping on.
