Be A Bodybuilder From The Comfort of Your Home Gym
Many aspiring bodybuilders want to know if they have to join a gym to get a good workout. Of course, the answer to that is no. While there are both advantages and disadvantages to working out either at home or at the gym, there's no reason you can't get just as good of a workout at home as at the gym-if you do it right.
Training in a normal fitness centre will give you access to more equipment, professional advice and will likely be safer. However training in a gym can be annoying sometimes if you have to wait for a particular piece of equipment or the other gym users are sat around gossipping and not really interested in getting big.
As regards working-out at home, there are many benefits to this: no fee (my favourite), no hassle travelling there and parking, workout with your shirt off, you can play your own music, no queuing for equipment and you don't have to worry about what other people are thinking about you when you are shouting at the bar for motivation.
The biggest drawback to a home gym is that you have to buy all the equipment, and that can be pricey. (Although you may be able to resell it in the future if necessary.) The other downside is that other people who live with you may not appreciate all the space it requires.
If you can overcome the cons, having a home gym makes it easy to work out whenever you want. Consider the following five tips if you decide to create a home gym of your own and work out there.
1) Look for a large, solid space, preferably on the ground floor. A spare room, part of a garage, or a basement often works well. Be sure it is waterproof-to keep your equipment from rusting-and well ventilated for comfort.
2) Empty the room of other objects that could be damaged. Generally, a home gym shouldn't contain too much more than your equipment. It's amusing to watch YouTube videos of someone accidentally smashing his fish tank with a bar bell or slipping and putting it through the plasma television screen-unless it's your fish tank or tv. Create a place that is permanently and exclusively used for training.
3) Purchase these pieces of equipment: a normal weights bench, squat stand, a workout mat, a pull up bar and a set of cast iron barbells and dumbells. There is a wide array of home gym equipment around by ensure that you purchase a strong and durable item as it will take an amazing amount of pressure over its lifetime!
4) Plan your workout. This basic equipment allows you to do all of the standard exercises that contribute to the development of lean muscle mass. You can do pull ups, dead lifts, bench presses, and squats. You should always do these as compound exercises, following each by exercises that utilize similar muscle groups including lunges, bent over rows, lateral raises, shrugs, shoulder presses, upright rows, and curls with barbells.
5) Be safety conscious. You may well be working out on your own, so don't go for any one rep maximums without supervision, save it for when a friend comes to spot you. Fasten tightly weight discs to the barbell. Some weight benches allow you to put a pin in at the bottom of your lift, when the barbell is just above your chest, do this as if you can't press it back up then you can rest it on the pins, do the same on the squat stand too.
If you set up a good, safe home gym, you can enjoy the convenience of working out right at home and building muscle without leaving your house. - 17273
