An Excellent Guide To An Effective Bodybuilding Workout

By Emmanuel Palmer


You want to be the body double of Dwayne Johnson - hey there's nothing wrong with that. Let me ask you though, how far are you willing to go to see that dream turn into reality? You can achieve that by following a grueling bodybuilding workout with specific weight lifting programs that will sometimes feel like torture. Are you up for it? If so, read on to see how.

Let's start with the chest - what lady can resist a broad, muscular torso on a guy? Make the most out of your exercise with sufficient warm up and stretching. This stimulates the blood flow to the muscles, cushioning it for the hard training up ahead.

Do 2 sets of 15 reps of bench press. Start with the lighter weight and progress to the heavier loads with 3 sets of 8 reps done to failure. Emphasize the training on your upper chest muscles by angling the bench to 25? to 30? either incline or decline. You can combine chest training with arm exercises. Again, begin with lighter loads and build up the weights of your loads.

The best way to trim that tummy down is still doing crunches. Only remember to put your hands across each shoulder instead of putting it under your head. The latter position puts strain in your nape and can be a little painful. You can also do leg raises either while lying down or sitting down while holding on to the sides of a bench. For your obliques, take the appropriate weight on each hand and bend your body from side to side, much like a pendulum. Do it slowly because rushing this exercise, especially carrying weights, can give you lower back injuries.

The back is one of the most important muscle groups to develop because we use frequently even while working out the other muscles or in carrying stuff in our regular days off the gym. A beginner's back workout program includes chin ups, pull ups and dead lifts. As you move up to higher levels, alternate with barbell shrugs, lat pull downs, upright rows (for the upper back); bent over barbell rows, hyperextensions (for the lower back); and one arm dumbbell rows, seated rows (for the middle back).

The shoulders are the body parts most challenging to work out. Use the seated shoulder press, military press exercise, lateral raises and the machine press to target this muscle group. Start with a couple of warm up sets with weights that are 50% of what you normally use. Never exercise the triceps before the shoulders.

Training the leg muscles are easy because it develops quite easily; however the drills required for these are usually more physically taxing than the others. Squats are the basic bodybuilding workout for this. It works almost all parts of your legs depending on the variation you use. Include lunges, leg press and hamstring exercises to get those powerful thighs to carry the rest of your muscular body.

Weight lifting programs challenge us to be stronger men not just through big muscles, but through the tenacity in which we aggressively pursue our goals. In the end we go away not just with good health and a great physique; we get a champion's attitude to face every other challenge thrown at us - and overcome through it all.
