An Effective Bodybuilding Workout You Can Use Today

By Emmanuel Palmer

Do you want body like the Terminator? Many people do. Problem is, not everybody is willing to do the hard work to get there. If you want a great physique you will need a bodybuilding workout, complete with weight lifting programs that pushes you to go beyond your perceived endurance. So the question really is; how bad do you want it? If you think you can take the challenge, this article will help you achieve your goal.

To make the most out of exercises, always take time out to warm up and stretch thoroughly before commencing with hard drills. Now that you have, let us begin with the first workout. There are few physical attributes more impressive than a big broad chest. Here are a few tips to get us going.

Do 2 sets of 15 reps of bench press. Start with the lighter weight and progress to the heavier loads with 3 sets of 8 reps done to failure. Emphasize the training on your upper chest muscles by angling the bench to 25 to 30 degree angle of either incline or decline. You can combine chest training with arm exercises. Again, begin with lighter loads and build up the weights of your loads.

You cannot go wrong with the crunches; it is still the best way to sculpt the stomach muscles. Watch that you execute with the proper form, that is, arms across your chest instead of under your neck. One sometimes tends to pull from the neck instead of using the abdominal muscles when performing this exercise. Include leg raises to target the lower abs. Exercise the obliques by holding on weights on each hand and with deliberate movements, bend from side to side. Do not rush as it can lead to future lower back problems.

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).

One of the most difficult body parts to see results in are the shoulders. Exercise these muscles with the seated shoulder press and change it up with machine presses, lateral raises and the military press. Warm up with 50% of the weights you usually carry before starting this muscle group. Always work out the shoulders before the triceps.

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 challenge us to be stronger men not just through big muscles, but through the tenacity in which we aggressively pursue our goals. In the end we go away not just with good health and a great physique; we get a champion's attitude to face every other challenge thrown at us-and overcome through it all. - 17274
