The Best Muscle Building Tips Revealed!

By Emmanuel Palmer


Let me ask you a question-do you want to get high? No, I don't mean the illegal form of high. I mean the natural, adrenalin pumping and problem freeing high? Physical regimens can do that for you. How can workouts help with your problems? Well, in exercise, especially intensive weight training programs, you need to push your body to the limit and it takes supreme mental discipline to execute this properly-leaving you not much brain space to worry for the time being. But more than that, seeing the fruits of your literal labors is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.

So are you ready to get it on? Here are some information on some of the best muscle building workouts that is sure to help you get body in great shape the best possible way. There are two main weight training methods professional trainers use: the high intensity and the periodization training.

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.

Periodization, on the other hand allows your body more time to get accustomed to the physical strain you are subjecting it to. This method of exercise trains you in phases: three weeks of light training, two to three more weeks of medium training and followed by heavy training. The thrust of this philosophy is to gradually build up your strength and muscle mass over a period of time. By giving your body more time and different levels to work with-- over training is avoided and the body remains engaged with the different phases it has to grow into.

High intensity and periodization regimens both have its advantages and disadvantages. The key is to incorporate both philosophies in a workout that would suit your body the best. A three to four day split workout is the best muscle building strategy for many professional trainers. You hit your training with high intensity without too much volume that might result in over training. Switch up the exercises every so often for best outcome.

There are many different workouts you can try per muscle group. You can never go wrong with the squats for the legs. Throw in some lunges and leg curls while you're at it. For the arms, make use of dumbbell curls and barbell wrist curls. The back is one of the bigger muscle group; use barbell shrugs, seated rows, rope pull downs and hyperextensions for the lower back. Train your shoulders with the seated shoulder press and military press and employ the bench press (change up the angles to incline, decline and back to flat) for your chest workout. Finish it off with the classic crunches or the more challenging leg raises to tighten your abdominal muscles.

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.
