Best Muscle Building Workout Dot Net

If you’re frustrated with your muscle gain or fat loss goals,

I sympathize with you completely, and understand exactly what

you are going through. I worked out for years before finally

figuring out the correct ways to build muscle and lose fat.

I finally figured ou that the routines and body building tips

touted by professional bodybuilders and the muscle magazines

just aren’t going to work for most people. But take heart,

you can reach your muscle mass and fat burning goals.

Putting together a program that incorporates the following

body building tips will point you in the right direction and

get you making gains you hadn’t thought were possible.

Tried and True Body Building Tips

Train Intensely – You must work each set until you can’t do

another repetition in good form. There is no point in

stopping at a set number of reps (such as 8), if you are

capable of doing 12. Your body needs to be challenged or it

will not adapt by building new muscle or burning off body fat.

Cycle Your Intensity – In order to prevent burnout and overtraining

from training intensely, it’s important to take a week off from

training every 8 – 12 weeks. If, like me, you can’t stay out

of the gym that long, you should train for a week at a very low

intensity level.

Train Briefly – Your workouts need to be short. This is

a very important weight lifting tip. You should never need

to do a weight lifting routine that takes over an hour. If

you are in the gym that long, you aren’t working intensely

enough. You can workout hard or long, but you can not do

both. And to succeed in building muscle, you need to workout hard.

Train Infrequently – Your body needs time to recover

from your weight training routine, so that in can adapt and

grow. If you train with weights before your body is completey

recovered, you won’t add new muscle and will eventually over

train, a big no no.

These are extremely important body building tips. It seems

that your body’s potential for strength increases far outweighs

your body’s ability to recover. What this means is that as you

grow stronger, your body needs more time between weight training

sessions in order to recover.

Bench pressing 300 pounds is a far greater stress on your body

than bench pressing 50 pounds, even if both were maximum attempts

at the time.

Train Progressively – You need to constantly challenge

what your body can do by continuing to add more weight and/or

repetitions to your previous best effort as often as possible.

Following is a sample weight training routine that incorporates

the above weight lifting tips. If you put the other pieces in

place, such as your nutrition plan and supplementation plan,

you’ll be well on your way to great gains and transforming your

physique.

1 – Squats

2 – Deadlifts

3 – Chin Ups

4 – Dips

5 – Bench Press

6 – Military Press

Here’s another weight lifting tip – break in to this routine.

For the first few weeks, try working out 3 times per week on

nonconsecutive days, performing 2 working sets of each exercise,

doing 12 – 15 reps per set.

Don’t train to failure.

After about a month, you can lower the reps on everthing but

Squats and Deadlifts, to the 8 – 10 rep range. Start training

to failure on some sets.

After another month, begin training to failure on all working

sets and consider only weight training two times per week to

accomodate the higher level of intensity and strengh that you’ve

developed.
