Weight Training Exercises That Pack A Lot Of Power

By Emmanuel Palmer


Gym memberships are comprised mainly by two very different groups of people: those who want to trim down, and those who want to bulk up. If you want to lose the excess pounds, you'll be put on a low-calorie and high-cardio program. To build bigger muscle however, you will go the opposite direction and increase calorie intake while undergoing a physically demanding weight training exercises aimed to get you that colossal physique.

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.

The bench press is the classic chest exercise for men. You can alter it by changing up the angle to incline and decline regularly which will do your body well. There are some people who think there are better ways to build up one?s chest by performing dumbbell flyes and pullovers instead of bench press. There really is no right or wrong answer, do what your body responds well to as long as your body is constantly challenged and pushed beyond its comfort zone. Accomplish this by continually increasing weights and varying your reps and sets.

For guns as big as a wrestler's, do strong bench dips and bicep curls. Use high weights and increase them even more as you progress. You will notice the difference soon enough. Your arms will feel the strain the days after your training; and if they are still sore, do not exercise them yet. Over training the muscles will do you more harm than good in the long run.

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.

For bodybuilding purposes, strong aerobic training is not advisable. That being said, make sure you do not neglect your cardiovascular training by engaging in light running or sports every so often. Your goal maybe to bulk up; but it shouldn?t be at the expense of your heart?s health.

Most of all, solidify your weight training exercises by giving it your all every time. You might be able to trick yourself in completing the designated drills with poor form and lackadaisical energy; but do not complain that results are long in coming. Do your best, you won?t regret it. Not only will you build bigger muscle?you have an opportunity to build your character and personal tenacity as well.
