PRO : The Bodybuilding Routines Chronicles

Women have always said their ideal men are tall, dark and handsome. Whether or not they missed it on purpose they definitely forgot to throw in strong and muscular. And why shouldn't they? Let's face it, we all have a picture of what makes a hero and that includes a big and muscular body. If you want to learn how to build muscle fast, this article will show you how.

There are three equally important characteristics that make up effective bodybuilding routines: a strong workout program, a healthy diet and quality rest. Many try to score a great body just by lifting heavy weights; but all professional trainers know that it's the latter two that make a huge difference in the outcome of your training.



The first thing on our list is training. Every workout session should begin with sufficient warm-up and stretching. Doing so optimizes your body to perform its best and cushions it for the pain it will experience in the next hour or so. Start with lower loads but increase it at you develop your strength and endurance. Keep changing the drills and weights every so often to keep your body on its toes, so to speak.



All you need is a 60 to 90 minute workout done two to four times a week. You can achieve great results through split training-targeting specific muscle groups on certain days. This ensures maximum efficacy for each session. You can do something like this: Monday- chest and abdominal muscles; Wednesday- back and arm muscles; Saturday- upper and lower leg muscles. If you are trying to put on a bulkier frame, keeping cardiovascular training once a week is good enough for now.

Because you are only training around three times a week, use the other days to focus on getting quality rest. Extreme physical activities put little tears on your muscle tissues. Rest, particularly deep sleep serves to repair these tissues, hence the stronger and bigger muscles. Look at the bulky trainers who take a sabbatical from training, they come back bigger than ever. Sure they aren't as rock-hard as they were but at the start of your training, what you need is weight gain so you have something to work with when you work out. Rest well-it is the most stress free way to build muscle fast.

Eat plenty of the right kinds of meals and you will get to your weight goal destination sooner than you think. Since you are aiming to gain more weight, be sure to take your calories from healthy sources of protein and carbohydrates like lean meat, fish, whole wheat grain, etc. Make use of supplements that can help fill in the calories and nutrients you need. You can also drink protein shakes when you work out to fuel your body as it expends energy in training.

There are a number of bodybuilding routines that can help give you the body you want--find one that is best suited for your body type. Look over the weight training program you have. Give proper attention to the rest of the ingredients that make your training successful-a healthy diet and sufficient rest; your best body can't be far away.
