The Right Workout Routine for Gaining Muscles

Have you ever been to the gym lately and you feel like a skinny geek among those guys who had huge muscles? If you do, then don’t let those guys intimidate you. You have to remember that they have been through on what you are going through. They were also skinny or fat once and they worked hard to get the body they have today. In fact, they may even help you get the results you want if you ask them politely.They may give you some tips on how to gain muscles fast and some of these tips may actually work. However, if you really want to gain muscles fast, then here are some of the right workout routines that you should follow in order for you to get that serious muscle that you have always wanted to have.

First of all, you need to remember that in order to gain muscles you should emphasize more on free weight exercises. Machine exercises may seem to be appealing as it lowers the risk of injury. However, you have to consider that in order to gain muscles, you need to strengthen the supporting muscles first, such as the synergist and the stabilizers. Machines don’t do this as the machines themselves act as a stabilizer.

Free weights will require your muscles as well as the supporting muscles to work really hard. This is why you will get tired a lot quicker when doing free weight exercises.

If you hear someone say that you need to exercise the same muscle group everyday, then don’t take this advice. This will slow down the growth rate of your muscles. You have to remember that working out means that you are actually injuring or tearing your muscles. If you do this everyday, it will lead to the deterioration of your muscles.

So, why work out if you are only tearing or injuring your muscles? You have to remember that when you injure your muscles, the body will react by replacing or adding more muscle tissues to strengthen the injured muscles. This means muscle growth or an increase in the muscle mass. And, the best time for your muscles to grow is by resting or sleeping.

Try exercising different parts of the body each day. For example, on day one, you might want to exercise your chest and triceps. On day two, exercise the back and biceps. And, on day three, exercise the legs and shoulders. On each day, always exercise your abdominal muscles with sit ups, crunches and other abdominal exercises.

After day three, you should rest the next day and after that, start again with day one. Do this for two weeks and change the exercises to avoid reaching the plateau where your muscles become so used to the exercises that it will not grow anymore.

On each muscle group, try to create 4 to 5 exercises. For example, for the chest, do bench presses, inclined dumbbell presses, lying dumbbell fly, and cable crossovers. For each exercise do 10 reps and 3 sets each.

These are the things that you need to remember about muscle gain and the correct exercise routines for it. Always remember that proper execution is the key to muscle growth. Resting is also very important as well as diet.

Your Best Body Now ? An Excellent Weight Lifting Program

Every massive, rock-hard physique out there can owe its thanks to a sound weight lifting program that translates your body?s weight to big muscles and solid strength. What are the things one needs to know what makes effective bodybuilding workouts? These workouts are intense, varied and customized to meet the needs of a specific body type.


A high-intensity workout is great for those who are planning to add on a lot of body mass in a relatively short period of time. Other people prefer to build up over a span of two to three months. The best approach is to combine both methods and find the blocks that work best for your own body specifically. The most important thing in this is that you give each session your best effort.

Even if you are in a hurry to get big, refrain from the urge to train every single day for a few weeks?this will do you more harm than good. You need to get quality sleep between the days you workout so your body can repair the muscle tissues torn during exercise. With proper rest, these will develop into bigger and much stronger muscles. An effective strategy is to split your weight lifting program into muscle groups that you can work on specific days.

This is an example of a three day split workout: Day one ? chest, arms and abs Day two ? back, shoulders and abs Day three ? legs Another example is a five day split workout: Day one ? legs Day two ? shoulders Day three ? back and abs Day four ? shoulders and arms Day five ? chest and abs Make sure you get a lot of good food and rest especially in the days between your training.

You can use many kinds of exercises for different muscle groups. Squats for the legs and crunches for the stomach are some of the best ones that will always work for people. Even so, make sure you change them up every week or so to keep your body guessing, pushing it to its physical endurance limits. Fancy machines are fine but even without them you can train effectively. If all you have are dumbbells, cables and a bench; you already have a repertoire of workouts at your disposal. Some of these are bicep curls, dumbbell shrugs, bench press, triceps kickbacks for the upper body; and lunges, leg raises, squats and crunches for the lower body.

When you start training, you will initially use lower weights. As your strength grows, so will the weight loads that you will be lifting?this will ensure that your muscles are consistently challenged, thus develop faster. For bodybuilding objectives, use weights that will enable you to do 7 to 12 repetitions until failure.

Finally, always remember to stretch properly before, during and after workout sessions. Doing so raises your body?s temperature and makes you more limber to perform your exercises better.

Only the persevering and patient individual can see his bodybuilding workouts come to fruition. Exercise care in your training even as you give it all you?ve got. There is no room for less for the champion that is inside you.

Build Bigger Muscle With The Right Weight Lifting Workout

Everyone wants to look great, who doesn?'t? You get more admiring glances and you even get special favors once in a while; but more than anything you feel better about yourself. If you weren't born with a wrestler's body, thank God that would be too scary. However, if you are naturally skinny or hefty, you still can a great physique if you have enough determination, motivation and maybe get a little bit of kick out of physical pain?the good kind only.


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 do some warm up exercises before working out. This stimulates blood flow to your heart, lungs and muscles; moreover raising your body's temperature for optimal training performance. If you plan to bulk up, do only 10 to 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. Stretch before, during and after your workout to minimize soreness the next few days.

There are quite a few exercise equipment and drills available for your training. What is crucial is that you study and plan the factors that make up an effective workout program to fully maximize the muscle groups worked on that day. Some of these factors would be the frequency of training, reps and sets performed, and weight loads to be used.

As you start, try 2 to 3 sets of lower weights done in 12 reps. The weight is chosen according to the load that exhausts the target muscle by the 12th repetition. Use more manageable weights first and experiment on succeeding sessions on what will work best for you personally. If the aim is to build bigger muscle then rest between sets should be about 60 to 90 seconds only.

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

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!

Is it Monday yet?

I like Monday's especially when it's over and I had a great workout. Its a nice way to kick off the week!

Chest and biceps was the damage last night. I try to never repeat a workout and last night was no different. We started with flat bench. I'm having an elbow issue and it’s preventing me from some movements and this is usually one of them, but it wasn't feeling too bad, so I took advantage of situation and banged out 5 sets before moving to inclines on the smith machine. I watched a u-tube video not too long ago of Dennis James doing these pause sets at the end. Dennis would bring up the stoppers, so that the bar would rest on them right at the point of the full stretch and when he couldn't do any more reps, he would rest the bar on the stoppers for a second, then do another rep, again and again. It’s was a lot harder than he made them look in the video, but I'm always looking for ways to shock the muscle and that’s just another way.

After those we hit flies, flats and inclines. I would have liked to end chest with dumbbell pullovers, because I believe this movement is a staple and should be done every week or at very least every other, but because of my elbow being fucked at the moment, I had to pass on that for yet another week. Off came the compression sleeve and we started standing crooked bar curls, then preachers, followed by dumbbell hammers and ended on seated calves

That’s all she wrote today, looking forward to dead lift Wednesday!

p.s. those pictures where taken a few weeks back, I’ll try to be more current going forward.

Wait for it...

5:30 comes across the phone, a text from big Jon telling all of us what time we are training. I looked forward to this every time. For the most part we all are pretty flexible, after 5 and no later than 6, if we can help it (with a 15 minute grace period for those who are late). Big Jon is our team doctor, no really, he is a NP (Nurse Practitioner) and as much as we would like too, we can't have him telling his last patient of the day, to come back in the morning, to finish the stitches, nor can he be rushed to make mistakes. So we let Jon tell us what time we are training.

Once I see the time over the phone, it is game on and knowing I probably already thought about my workout the day before or even after the last workout, It's on my mind again and I can't wait to get to the gym.  

Next to legs day comes dead lift day. I get pretty pumped up for both. We do legs on Saturdays and do dead lifts on Wednesday, mid week, just barely enough time for your legs to heal.  But it's not just dead lifts, its traps and back too! 

We start with dead lifts, 1 plate, 2 plates, 3 plates, 4 plates 5 plates. I was feeling a little stronger today than last week and was able to grab 4 reps of 5 plates, this time around, last week I don't think I got 2.

Next were barbell shrugs for 5 sets and after that we start back. 4 wide grip pull downs, 4 machine bent overs (free weights).

 

Dave our team handyman hooks up the Gold’s Gym with one of those t-bar mounting brackets you screw down to the ground and stick a Olympic bar in. Yes, this brings back memories from when I was a kid in my bedroom, sticking a pillow in the corner to protect the wall, stacking up my cement weights onto one end of the bar for t-rows. Needless to say, we broke that in last night, started with 3- 35lbs plates and worked our way up to 7. Then came reverse grip pull downs and we ended everything on the donkey machine

I can't wait to get that text come tomorrow for Shoulders and Triceps!

Pre workout Review: Swole by Anabolic Outlaws

Hi everyone this week were doing something a little different, we are introducing our first supplement review of a high quality pre workout!

This pre workout is called Swole by Anabolic Outlaws

Lets start from the beginning:
I am not going to lie, I am not a big fan of pre workouts. I am a die hard coffee addict so sometimes when I take pre workouts I don't always feel their effects, or if I do I experience an instant jolt of energy but nothing that lasts. I decided to try a pre workout in order to help power through my intense workouts. Now that I am dieting for a physique show, my workouts will last anywhere from 2 hours to 3 so I need a pre workout that will give me sustained and clean energy.

I tried Swole for 2 weeks with my different workout splits, so I would be able to feel its effects from workouts on leg day versus my back workout days. I even tested it on my rigorous cardio routines.

Initial reaction:
I added 1 tsp of Swole to 8-10 fl ounces of water, I shook it vigorous and there were no nasty clumps at the surface (this is a plus in my book).
I also noted that Swole made the water turn a pale white color, which I LOVED! Lets face it no one wants to walk around the gym sporting a green or blue tongue. Thats just not attractive, not to mention I hate feeling self conscious feeling my breath smells like a juicy watermelon!

Taste: The taste is a general mild sweet taste
I also loved this! The taste was not overpowering or too concentrated! One day I added a small amount of green apple aminos by BSN and it tasted incredible. So the advantage of the mild taste allows you to add another drink such as a small amount of gator aid if you enjoy a great flavor.

Energy: Clean long sustaining energy
The energy was not an instant jolt that some pre workouts will give you (this is the specific reason why I stay away from most pre workouts). I could not tell the initial moment that swole kicked in (which I enjoyed), however I certainly felt lasted energy and focus throughout my 2 hour workouts.
I also found that the energy lasted throughout my lifting session and my cardio session (which I grouped back to back). This was the true test that swole passed with flying colors!! Most days, I will come back to the gym for a second time because I just will nott have enough energy to last through a lifting session AND 30 min of HIIT cardio. However, I honestly felt that swole helped me power through both completely. I did not crash at all!

Other advantages of swole:
It is one of the only testosterone boosting pre workouts out there! Don't be intimidated by this though because both men and women can use swole to help increase lean body mass and decrease fat. I felt that after taking swole I didn't feel like I have a swollen or bloated belly feeling that I had from other pre workouts in the past.

I would recommend this product to everyone who is looking for a high quality preworkout. This is a great product for beginners to the advanced lifters. It is the best prew orkout I have ever tried (you can take my word for it).

They also have some other amazing products that we have purchased such as their Overnight Grow 600 and Whey Protein (more reviews on the way!)

Last thing I love their designs! I just can't get enough of this design and their t-shirts!!

Body Building Workout Routines And Women - Do They Help?

Body building workout routines can help women over 35 lose weight
A recent medical study involving women over 35 found that body building workout routines could actually help them lose weight. After age 35, women lose up to 5 pounds of muscle a year and begin to maintain more fat.
Body building workout routines, the researchers found, help women keep or even gain muscle allowing them to lose more fat and weight. The study found that even strenuous body building routines in middle-aged women did not make them look bulky or masculine.
The number of women using free weights in the United States doubled between the late 1980s and the early 1990s. With the news about body building workout routines as a possible way to lose weight, more and more women are pushing iron.
Younger women who perform body building workout routines will not lose weight like middle aged women. They may even gain pounds, but the heavier muscle replacing the fat on their bodies will give them a sleek, toned look that cannot be achieved by cardiovascular exercise alone. Only body building workout routines can tone certain parts of a woman’s body.
The other benefit to women taking up body building workout routines is increased strength. As a woman ages, her upper body strength tends to weaken. Great body building workout routes focusing on the upper body will help a woman stay stronger longer.
Stronger bones can be achieved by performing body building workout routines. Women are in danger of developing brittle bones when they are older, but studies show this does not have to the case. The National Strength and Conditioning Association set exercise prescription guidelines for stimulating bone growth, which can be achieved through body building workout routines. The group recommends performing 3-6 sets of up to 10 repetitions with a one- to four-minute rest between sets
Building strong muscles with body building workout routines will help a young woman stay slimmer longer before she starts losing muscle tone in middle age. Get started today with body building workout routines to help you stay stronger and slimmer longer.

Bodybuilding Success Doesn't Require A Workout Partner

Whenever I go to the gym I see people working out in pairs or small groups. In fact I’m usually one of a very few people in the gym who are training without a friend or “training partner.” For many, weight training is a social activity that provides a chance to hang out with a friend who, like you, is interested in fitness or bodybuilding. The problem is that picking the wrong person as your workout buddy, or choosing a training partner when you don’t need one is counterproductive to your success.
All Talk, No Action
A frequent problem with choosing the wrong workout partner is too much social conversation. Working out with a friend is great if he’s as focused as you are on building huge, chiseled Guns. But if he’s more interested in yakking about office politics, the weather or his favorite sports team you’re not going to get much done in your workouts. If you’re going to workout with a partner, make sure that he shares your commitment to staying focused on training while you’re working out. Small talk is fine, but life is busy and your workout time is limited. Don’t waste it chattering with a training partner who’s distracting you from your mission.
“I Just Want To Look Strong…”
Another problem that can result from choosing the wrong partner is conflicting training goals. Years ago I trained with a friend

How Many Times Per Week Should You Workout To Build Lean Muscle?

By Russ Howe-Pti

Most people in the gym have many questions they'd like to ask on the subject of how to build muscle, but they get confused at the wide variety of answers available so instead just struggle on by themselves. One of the most popular questions undoubtedly concerns how many gym sessions per week are optimal when it comes to building lean tissue. Today we will show you how to answer this.


You can actually increase the effectiveness of the time you spend in the gym before you leave the house. Simply start applying a few of the proven principles of building a more powerful physique.

If you are brand new to training you might be worried when you see ultra fit friends who seem to exercise non-stop. Perhaps that's something which has previously put you off the whole idea of getting fitter. You needn't worry, because building a better body is not about torturing yourself on a daily basis.

If you can get to the gym two-to-three times per week you should see positive results within the first four weeks. Especially if you combine cardiovascular exercise with regular weight training. That means you too, girls. Don't buy into the incorrect philosophy that weights will make you huge.

With that as a starting point, your body will begin the process of changing.

Once you begin seeing results, however, a different type of situation is upon you and there are different risks to your progress. No longer will you have to worry about hitting the gym regularly enough, because seeing a positive change in the shape of your body will be enough to kick-start your desire to exercise more than ever before.

Believe it or not, it actually becomes hard for most people to resist the temptation to workout every single day.

Rest plays a very important role in your log-term progress and you should not fall victim to the common mistake of training purely because you enjoy it. You have a long-term goal to experience hypertrophy, you'll need to remember this.

If you don't let your body rest you will not see continued results. You are essentially breaking down yesterday's results and rebuilding them today, which will not actually help you to get any further forward at all. If you simply enjoy training and don't want to limit yourself to three sessions per week, you should look into using a split routine instead of a full body workout at this stage.

You need to rest in order to grow, so don't allow yourself to give in to the temptation of hitting a certain muscle group purely because you enjoy the ego boost it gives. This is known in fitness circles as "Chest and arm syndrome" and usually affects men who like working on their biceps.

If you utilize a split routine there is nothing to stop you from hitting the gym five times a week, however those two extra days should be reserved for rest. One of the most important factors in learning how to build muscle which lasts into the long term is understanding the importance of rest.
