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.
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.
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
Always take plenty of fluids, around 10 to 12 glasses of water, to fuel your body during workout sessions. Do not forget to cool down by stretching thoroughly after exercise and consult with your therapist immediately for any unusual pain you feel in your joints and muscles. Now you have an excellent weight lifting workout - go forth and multiply your muscles.
