Body Building Routine - How To Make It Work

Body Building Routine - How To Make It Work


by Yolanda Reyes


Many beginner bodybuilders think that finding a body building routine that works is easy, but they're wrong. First, there is such a huge number of possible routines. This is not surprising when you consider how many muscle groups there are to work and how many possible exercises there are for each one. The possible workout routines for body building is almost infinite and you can see that through the combinations you can make.

It's not the best option to copy someone else's routine. It's not likely you'll develop the same body just by doing the same routine as someone else. It's doubtful for your body to be ready for his workout.

What do you do then? For those who are just starting out, try doing the standard beginner body building routine. To figure out your best plan, you can try trial and error even though what works for someone else may not work for you.

However, you do need to be sure that your workout routine covers all of the bases. Checking it out against the following scheme is important. When planning your body building routine, this is also a good way to go.

Taking note of all the muscle groups that you need to work is the first you should do. That would mean practically all the muscles in the body. Keep in mind the core and the muscles of the back. It is dangerous to overdevelop the chest, shoulders and abs while neglecting the back because you can so easily cause an injury there.

Choosing an exercise that works each group would be your next step. You need things like gym machines such as a bench press, a barbell, or dumbbells. Some exercises will work out more than one muscle group.

In your body building routine, for twice a week work out each muscle group and have a full day of rest between. Giving yourself a couple of days rest from working out is a good idea.

What if nothing seems to be working? First, consider whether you are giving your muscles enough rest. Over-training is one of the reasons why bodybuilders don't get the results they want. During your workout, the muscles are broken down. The time that they build mass is during the recovery time. So do not be tempted to over-train.

Other factors should also be considered such as your diet. Maybe you're not getting the right amount of protein and carbs at the right time. Have you looked into possible supplements that you might take?

Remember that changing your routine from time to time is good practice. Besides working the muscles differently than what they're used to, this also counters boredom. You will often find that changing out one ab exercise for another or using a different press at the gym will be the catalyst that you need to start gaining muscle mass again. You'll be able to figure out a body building routine that works with the help of all these tips.
