How does a body like Terminator sound like?
Impossible? Think again. If you are ready and willing to undergo a
serious bodybuilding workout with physically demanding weight lifting
programs it can be done. Be forewarned though that this is no walk in
the park. Your body will be pushed to its limits. If you can handle it,
then read on to see how you can turn from crushee to crusher in just a
matter of time.
To make the most out of exercises, always make time to warm up and stretch thoroughly before commencing with hard drills. Now that you have, let us begin. There are few physical attributes more impressive than a big broad chest. Here are a few tips to get us going.
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?. 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.
Crunches are still the reliable exercise to sculpt and trim the stomach muscles. When performing this exercise, put your arms across your chest and not under your head. This significantly lessens strain you might put on your neck inadvertently. Supplement the crunches with leg raises, done either lying down with your hands under your behind; or sitting on a bench with your torso angled slightly and your feet not touching the ground. For obliques, hold a couple of dumbbells on each hand and bend from side to side slowly.
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).
The shoulders are the body parts most challenging to work out. Use the seated shoulder press, military press exercise, lateral raises and the machine press to target this muscle group. Start with a couple of warm up sets with weights that are 50% of what you normally use. Never exercise the triceps before the shoulders.
Training the leg muscles are easy because it develops quite easily; however the drills required for these are usually more physically taxing than the others. Squats are the basic bodybuilding workout for this. It works almost all parts of your legs depending on the variation you use. Include lunges, leg press and hamstring exercises to get those powerful thighs to carry the rest of your 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.
