Best Muscle Building Routines You Can Try Today

By Emmanuel Palmer


Tell me something, do you feel good after a good workout session? I stress the word ?after? because one rarely has a smile when he trudges into the hallowed grounds of the fitness center. Even if many times you don?t feel like working out, notice that you feel much better physically when you do. You?re body releases chemicals that make you happy and not only that, you are sharper mentally because of it. How so? Imagine you need to concentrate on executing the drills in the correct form and manner, with the appropriate number of reps and sets?all the while feeling extreme physical discomfort. Weight training programs push you to your limits and the result is a great physique you can be proud of.

Now are we raring to get some action? Great. Let us have a survey on the best muscle building regimens that aim to give you your beach ready body quickly and properly. You will find that there are two basic weight training methods that are being practiced today: high intensity training and periodization.

High intensity training uses up much of your body?s energy. These are workouts that are short and very physically grueling. A session lasts only 60 to 90 minutes and is done around two to three times a week. As you develop your strength, you will have to increase the number of reps, or preferably the weight loads you are taking on in every set. In this training, you are driving your body beyond its perceived natural endurance; hence it has no choice but to step up and perform according to the standards you set on it. Consequently, you get faster results.

In periodization, you are giving your body more time to familiarize itself with the physical strains of exercise. There is a three week light training period of ?getting to know each other?, followed by another two to three weeks of courtship and finishing strong with heavy training-- matrimony if we pursue the allegorical significance. The focus of periodization is not to over train your body but to gradually increase your muscle mass in phases. The phases ensure that your body is pushed to higher levels, albeit more leisurely, as effectively as high intensity training.

While both high intensity and periodization training have its own advantages; the best muscle building strategy is to get what is most effective for you personally and use it in your workout. Experienced trainers can all attest to a three or four day split workout, this infuses each session with high energy and challenge without too much volume that makes for over training. Vary the weights and drills every so often for maximum productivity.

You can try some of these exercises to get you started in your fitness goals: For stomach: crunches and leg raises For the back: barbell shrugs, seated rows, deadlifts, hyperextensions, rope pull downs For the chest: flat or incline or decline bench press, dumbbell flyes For the arms: barbell or dumbbell curls, wrist curls, triceps extensions For the legs: squats, lunges, leg presses For the shoulders: dumbbell shoulder press, military press

The best weight training programs to have are those that are difficult because you are pushed to push the envelope of your own physical capabilities. Your health, appearance and strength will benefit from a great workout session. Continue to strive for the next level and you won?t be disappointed.
