Reveal Your Best Body With The Right Weight Lifting Workout

By Emmanuel Palmer


Who doesn't want to live like a rock star? You get to look great, live like a king and have beautiful women at every state. Well, the last two we can work on later but for now, let's see what we can do about getting that gladiator physique everyone will be admiring you for. You may not be naturally built like a tank; but if you have determination and are willing to do whatever it takes-- anything is possible.

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.

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.

Here are some of the drills you can use: Back: deadlifts, T-bar rows, lat pull downs Chest: bench press (flat, incline and decline) Shoulders: military press, dumbbell rear felt flyes Arms: barbell curls, dips, close-grip bench press Legs: squats, front squats, leg press, lunges Stomach: leg raises and crunches

Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water especially during workout sessions so that you won't be dehydrated as you train. Always make time for cooling down and stretching after training. For unusual pain (soreness not included) in joints and muscles, consult your trainer and therapist as soon as possible. Now you have a weight lifting workout, you have no excuse not to have a great physique. Live right and enjoy!
