The Secret To An Excellent Bodybuilding Workout

By Emmanuel Palmer

You want to be the body double of Dwayne Johnson-hey there's nothing wrong with that. Let me ask you though, how far are you willing to go to see that dream turn into reality? You can achieve that by following a grueling bodybuilding workout with specific weight lifting programs that will sometimes feel like torture. Are you up for it? If so, read on to see how.

Let's start with the chest-what lady can resist a broad, muscular torso on a guy? Make the most out of your exercise with sufficient warm up and stretching. This stimulates the blood flow to the muscles, cushioning it for the hard training up ahead.

Start with two sets of fifteen reps done on the bench press. Increase to three sets of heavier reps with dumbbell flyes. Emphasize your upper chest muscles by altering the degree to 25-30 degree. You can also opt to train your arms after your chest; again starting low and building up to the higher loads. Lift the weight load that will tire your muscles by the 8th rep of the set.

The best way to trim that tummy down is still doing crunches. Only remember to put your hands across each shoulder instead of putting it under your head. The latter position puts strain in your nape and can be a little painful. You can also do leg raises either while lying down or sitting down while holding on to the sides of a bench. For your obliques, take the appropriate weight on each hand and bend your body from side to side, much like a pendulum. Do it slowly because rushing this exercise, especially carrying weights, can give you lower back injuries.

The back is one of the most important muscle groups to develop because we use frequently even while working out the other muscles or in carrying stuff in our regular days off the gym. A beginner's back workout program includes chin ups, pull ups and dead lifts. As you move up to higher levels, alternate with barbell shrugs, lat pull downs, upright rows (for the upper back); bent over barbell rows, hyperextensions (for the lower back); and one arm dumbbell rows, seated rows (for the middle back).

Shoulders are one of the most difficult body parts to target. Make sure you exercise them before you start with the triceps so it is more effective. Workouts for this muscle group include the seated shoulder press for beginners, moving up with the military press, machine presses and the lateral raises. Warm up before you go full on with 50% of the weights you normally carry.

Training the leg muscle group is physically grueling but fortunately, results come without much of a problem. The fundamental bodybuilding workout for this is the squat. Squats exercise almost every area of the legs effectively. Include other drills like leg press, leg curls, calf raises, lunges and hamstring exercises-you want sturdy legs to carry the weight of a powerful and muscular body.

Weight lifting programs are the stepping stones we need to get on everyday to reach our goals. They demand immovable determination and an appetite for pain derived from physical training. You get a rock-hard body; but more than that, a winner's attitude that will bring you places even beyond the four corners of the gym. - 17273
