The Bodybuilding Routines Chronicles

By Emmanuel Palmer


Let's see a count of hands-who wants a physique comparable to Greek and Hollywood gods? We all know that a standard of men's ultimate masculinity is the muscles he has on. It's not the only measure of manhood, but hey, it is the most obvious one. If you prefer to attract people by being skinny that's fine; however, if you want to build muscle fast, read on and you'll get what you're looking for.

Bodybuilding routines are only as effective as the adherence of the practitioner to three important characteristics: a solid weight training program, a balanced diet and quality rest. There are many who are overzealous in working out but without the proper rest and diet, your training won't be as successful as it should be.

Let's begin with the workout regimen. All workout sessions must always start and end with proper warm-up and stretching. This will prepare your body for the upcoming physical stress it is about to experience for the next hour. Initially, you will use lower weights but as you gain momentum in the next few sessions, aim to raise the weight load you are using. Change up the exercises every few weeks so your progress will keep pushing itself to grow in strength and size.

Go to the gym two to four times a week only. An average of one and a half hours is the maximum workout session you will need, provided you divide your training properly. These split workouts give you the opportunity to make most out of your training by targeting each muscle group with more intensity. An example of such a workout is to train your back and arms on Monday, your chest and abs on Wednesday and your legs on Saturday. If you are building muscle mass, keep cardiovascular workout to a minimum.

This is the easy section on how to build muscle fast-get quality sleep. Because you are only training half the week, make the other days work for you by getting as much rest as you can. When you exercise, you are creating little tears in your muscle tissues and sleep serves to mend these tears. The results are bigger and harder muscles that can better withstand physical strain. Observe those big, muscled trainers who take a break from their bodybuilding; they become bigger in a few weeks. They're not as firm but for you who are starting to build up muscle mass, gaining weight is your focus for now.

Eat a balanced diet. Because you need to gain as much weight as possible, get your calories from food rich in protein and carbohydrates. Lean meat, chicken and fish are good sources of healthy food. There are also muscle building supplements in the market that can help add to your required amount of calories and nutrients. Protein shakes also give an added boost in your workout by fueling your body to perform better.

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.
