Make Your Weight Training Program Work For You

By Emmanuel Palmer

It's time. You've been sitting by the sidelines long enough, now it's time to get that physique you've always wanted. One of the best tools to reach your goal is an effective weight training program that will work best for your body. Read on to find out more about the best muscle building exercises and information to get you started on your way.

High intensity and periodization are the two main schools of thought used today for weight training. High intensity workouts are short and very physically demanding, with much of the drills executed until failure. Periodization allows you to get to your destination at a somewhat more leisurely pace of around two to three months. You start at light, then proceed to medium and then high level every couple of weeks. The focus here are the collective gains the body earns at the end of training and not at the end of every session.

Nowadays, most people use both philosophies by getting parts of each that works best for them personally. What you need to remember is that sooner or later your body comes to a plateau wherein it becomes accustomed to the drills you are inflicting on it. When this happens, training will cease to be as effective as it once was. To avoid this, vary your exercise drills and weight loads every so often. Push yourself constantly to new levels and see the progress in your physique.

The power triumvirate of serious bodybuilders is weight training, rest and nutrition. For the more inexperienced trainers, the latter two usually not as given much attention; however, it needs to be said that all three are equally essential to the success of your training. Like for resting; when you exercise and put little tears in the muscle, it is rest that repairs it and develops the tissue to become the stronger and harder muscles that you enjoy. When you work out certain days; use the remaining days of the week to concentrate on getting good sleep.

The best muscle building food are meals that are rich in carbohydrates and protein. Examples of these would be chicken, fish, eggs, nuts, etc. As much as possible, do not pig out on high fat content food to fill your calorie needs. If you prefer, consume protein shakes and muscle building supplements to add to your nutrient requirements for the day.

Also, make time for a thorough stretching before training. Warm ups and stretching can spell the difference between a good workout session from a great one. Doing these increases your body temperature and blood flow, as well as enhances the body's flexibility-ensuring your body's optimal performance. Practice stretching also between sets.

When you are bulking up you need more calories so do not load up on extreme aerobic training in the beginning stages. That being said, cardiovascular training is important to the health of your heart so never neglect this aspect in your training. As you get closer to your weight objective; increase the frequency and time you allot for aerobic exercises.

A successful weight training program will not make itself known overnight. Sometimes you gets hits and misses but you will find your own rhythm soon enough. The important thing is that you are making an effort to get to your goals and your reward will not be long in coming if you keep at it no matter what. - 17274
