You want to be the body double of Dwayne Johnson - hey there's nothing wrong with that. Let me ask you though, how far are you willing to go to see that dream turn into reality? You can achieve that by following a grueling bodybuilding workout with specific weight lifting programs that will sometimes feel like torture. Are you up for it? If so, read on to see how.
Let's start with the chest - what lady can resist a broad, muscular torso on a guy? Make the most out of your exercise with sufficient warm up and stretching. This stimulates the blood flow to the muscles, cushioning it for the hard training up ahead.
Begin with 15 reps of light weights. As you develop strength, increase from 2 sets to three with higher weight loads done on the bench press and dumbbell flyes. Decide on the weight by using the load that will exhaust your muscle completely by the 8th rep. Incline the bench to a 25? to 30? angle to emphasize the upper chest. After your chest workout, follow with training your arms. Again, start with lower weights and move up as you go along.
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.
Even if a well-developed back seldom get appreciative glances unlike the chest of biceps, you need to work this muscle group out a lot because it is a cornerstone of your body's muscular strength. You use this muscle group a lot in and out of the gym. The best back workouts for beginners are the pull ups, chin ups and dead lifts. After a while include the upright rows and lat pull downs for the upper back; one arm dumbbell rows and seated rows for the middle back; and bent over barbell rows for the lower back.
The shoulders are the body parts most challenging to work out. Use the seated shoulder press, military press exercise, lateral raises and the machine press to target this muscle group. Start with a couple of warm up sets with weights that are 50% of what you normally use. Never exercise the triceps before the shoulders.
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.
