A Great Weight Lifting Workout Anybody Can Use


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.


Let us start with the basics: how to build bigger muscle. Exercise, those involving heavy weights particularly, puts tears in the muscle tissues. When you go home and rest, these little tears are then repaired by your body. As they are repaired, hormones are released to develop the same muscles to withstand the more stress thus creating the bigger and stronger muscles that you see. To get that body you want, below is a solid weight lifting workout that you can use right away.


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.


When you are starting out, use lower weights and do 2 to three sets of 12 repetitions in your drills. Choose the correct weight by finding out what load will tire your target muscle by the 12th repetition. Try different weights on subsequent work outs to experiment. Rest periods between sets should be about 60 to 90 seconds if you're aiming to build bigger muscle.


Experienced trainers will suggest a two to four day training to maximize your work out sessions-allowing you to focus and work hard on specific muscle groups on certain days. Try dividing between your upper (back, chest, arms, shoulders) and lower (legs, stomach) body if that works for you. You can also train muscle groups that work together on the same days. Remember to exercise according to the size; start with the larger muscles first before proceeding with 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) Backlat pull downs,T-bar rows and deadlifts Chest- barbell bench press, decline bench press and incline bench press Legs- lunges, leg presses and squats


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!
