Weight Training Exercises That Pack A Lot Of Power
Trim down or bulk up - these are the two main reasons why people go the gym. Depending on your goal, be prepared to have your work cut out for you. For those wanting a svelte and lean figure, you need to monitor your calorie intake and amp up your cardiovascular training. On the other hand, if you are looking to build bigger muscle, the opposite is required of you. Consume high calorie food and perform rigorous weight training exercises that aim to pack on come serious muscles.
Let us concentrate on the latter group of people for this particular article. If this is you, one of the first things you need to do is to amp up your body mass. Experienced trainers suggest a high intensity workout of 45 to 75 minutes. This means that you have to do your cardio on certain days and only minimally. A maximum of 90 second break between sets will help capitalize your training sessions.
There are many fancy machines and trendy exercises out there but usually it's the simpler ones that prove most effective. For instance, the squats are still the best exercise you can do for your legs. Slightly shift your position and you can emphasize specific areas of your leg. Add to this by including lunges and calf raises.
There are differing opinions between bodybuilders regarding the most effective chest exercises one can use. The bench press is the standard exercise to get that massive chest going for you. However, a lot of people claim that the mobility of performing dumbbell flyes and pullovers work better than the bench press. The right or wrong answer ultimately rests on the individual. If you see that your body responds better to one method, then go for that. What is important is that your body is challenged to do better, and you can do this by varying the weights, reps/sets and drills of your program every few weeks.
Big arms are best serviced by bench dips and barbell curls. As you go further in your training, periodically add on to the weight load you are lifting. Wait and see the difference this will make. Your arms will feel the burn and even outside of training, expect soreness to set in. If they are still painful when you go back to the gym, do not exercise. Rest them instead.
Work your back muscles by doing pull ups and your shoulders with the military press. There are many more exercises you can use for these muscle groups but these count as among the most effective. Switch up the drills every two to six weeks for the most productivity. Again, you need to push your body consistently to get the most out of your weight training exercises.
Strong cardiovascular training is not advised for those who wish to gain weight and add bulk to their frame. Even so, make it a point to take time out for light aerobic exercises or sports regularly. While your goal is not to burn calories, your heart will be better for the cardio exercises you put in.
And finally, give your weight training exercises a boost by performing your best every single time. Sure, you can rush through your drills in poor form and lackluster energy but expect corresponding results. Go into it strong. You will not only get to build bigger muscle - you will get the satisfaction of a job well done.
