Tell me something, do you feel good after a good workout session? I stress the word 'after' because one rarely has a smile when he trudges into the hallowed grounds of the fitness center. Even if many times you don't feel like working out, notice that you feel much better physically when you do. You're body releases chemicals that make you happy and not only that, you are sharper mentally because of it. How so? Imagine you need to concentrate on executing the drills in the correct form and manner, with the appropriate number of reps and sets-all the while feeling extreme physical discomfort. Weight training programs push you to your limits and the result is a great physique you can be proud of.
Now are we raring to get some action? Great. Let us have a survey on the best muscle building regimens that aim to give you your beach ready body quickly and properly. You will find that there are two basic weight training methods that are being practiced today: high intensity training and periodization.
This type of training will push your body to its limit without the luxury of time. This means that while you have to warm up and stretch to prepare your body for the session ahead, you will immediately proceed to a workout that demands maximum physical endurance. High intensity training is working out two to three times a week, making the most out of the 60 to 90 minute workout regimen. You will periodically increase the weight loads or reps in the succeeding sessions. When your body is required to perform a certain standard, it inevitably delivers and you will see faster results.
Periodization, on the other hand allows your body more time to get accustomed to the physical strain you are subjecting it to. This method of exercise trains you in phases: three weeks of light training, two to three more weeks of medium training and followed by heavy training. The thrust of this philosophy is to gradually build up your strength and muscle mass over a period of time. By giving your body more time and different levels to work with-- over training is avoided and the body remains engaged with the different phases it has to grow into.
While both high intensity and periodization training have its own advantages; the best muscle building strategy is to get what is most effective for you personally and use it in your workout. Experienced trainers can all attest to a three or four day split workout, this infuses each session with high energy and challenge without too much volume that makes for over training. Vary the weights and drills every so often for maximum productivity.
Here are some exercises specific to each muscle group you can use: Legs- squats (different variations), leg curls, leg presses Back- deadlifts, rope pull downs, seated rows, barbell shrugs Chest- bench press, dumbbell flyes Shoulders- military press, dumbbell shoulder press, seated shoulder press Arms- dumbbell curls, barbell wrist curls, triceps extensions Stomach- crunches, reverse crunches, leg raises
Weight training programs that are physically taxing but let you go beyond the limitations you previously set for yourself are the best ones to have. Whether you get your motivation through health, strength training or just to look good-keep it up and get the satisfaction of a job well done.
