An Excellent Guide To An Effective Bodybuilding Workout

By Emmanuel Palmer


Do you want body like the Terminator? Many people do. Problem is, not everybody is willing to do the hard work to get there. If you want a great physique you will need a bodybuilding workout, complete with weight lifting programs that pushes you to go beyond your perceived endurance. So the question really is; how bad do you want it? If you think you can take the challenge, this article will help you achieve your goal.

It's time to start and where better than working out with one of the best woman magnets of all times-a big and well-defined chest. Remember, to make the most out of your regimen by always taking time to warm up well and stretch thoroughly. This prepares your body for the upcoming physical stress it is about to endure.

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 degree angle of 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.

You cannot go wrong with the crunches; it is still the best way to sculpt the stomach muscles. Watch that you execute with the proper form, that is, arms across your chest instead of under your neck. One sometimes tends to pull from the neck instead of using the abdominal muscles when performing this exercise. Include leg raises to target the lower abs. Exercise the obliques by holding on weights on each hand and with deliberate movements, bend from side to side. Do not rush as it can lead to future lower back problems.

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).

One of the most difficult body parts to see results in are the shoulders. Exercise these muscles with the seated shoulder press and change it up with machine presses, lateral raises and the military press. Warm up with 50% of the weights you usually carry before starting this muscle group. Always work out the shoulders before the triceps.

Training the leg muscle group is physically grueling but fortunately, results come without much of a problem. The fundamental bodybuilding workout for this is the squat. Squats exercise almost every area of the legs effectively. Include other drills like leg press, leg curls, calf raises, lunges and hamstring exercises-you want sturdy legs to carry the weight of a powerful and muscular body.

Weight lifting programs are the stepping stones we need to get on everyday to reach our goals. They demand immovable determination and an appetite for pain derived from physical training. You get a rock-hard body; but more than that, a winner's attitude that will bring you places even beyond the four corners of the gym.
