Get A Power Weight Lifting Program Your Body Will Thank You For -- Eventually

By Emmanuel Palmer


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.

Usually when somebody strives to pack on muscles, the first instinct is to work out most days for a few weeks. Doing so is actually detrimental to your body's physical development. Give sufficient amount of time for your body to rest so that the tears in the muscle tissues are sufficiently mended and become even stronger. Splitting the weight lifting program into muscle groups and assigning them on certain days is an effective strategy used by many professional bodybuilders and trainers.

A three day split workout would look something like this: Monday - chest, arms and abs Wednesday - back, shoulder and abs Saturday - legs If you prefer a five day split workout here is one you can follow: Monday - legs Tuesday - shoulders Wednesday - back and abs Thursday - shoulders and arms Friday - chest and abs Concentrate on getting serious sleep and eating health during the rest of the days.

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 begin to train, you will be starting with lesser weights and perhaps a higher number of repetitions. Gradually increase the weights so the muscle is stressed and stimulates accelerated growth. If you are training for bodybuilding purposes, use weights that give you a maximum of 7 to 12 reps until failure.

Lastly, do not forget to stretch well before starting your exercises and even between sets. Stretching raises your body's temperature level and makes you more flexible; both of which contribute to favorable physical conditions for training.

Bodybuilding workouts work only as well as the dedication and tenacity of the individual undertaking it. Practice safety and care while you train; and give it your all in each session. The winner in you will take nothing less.
