Let me ask you a question?do you want to get high? No, I don?t mean the illegal form of high. I mean the natural, adrenalin pumping and problem freeing high? Physical regimens can do that for you. How can workouts help with your problems? Well, in exercise, especially intensive weight training programs, you need to push your body to the limit and it takes supreme mental discipline to execute this properly?leaving you not much brain space to worry for the time being. But more than that, seeing the fruits of your literal labors is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.
Now we know what we?re gunning for (a body worth working hard for), let us proceed to survey the best muscle building workouts that will get you to your goal as quickly possible. There are two weight training philosophies being practiced today: high intensity and periodization training.
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.
Both methods of training have their good and not so good points. The best muscle building strategy is to incorporate from the two philosophies what will work with your body. Most professionals agree with a three day split workout of high intensity but low volume sessions. What is important is to remember to change the weight loads and exercises every few weeks to get the best results.
You can try some of these exercises to get you started in your fitness goals: For stomach: crunches and leg raises For the back: barbell shrugs, seated rows, deadlifts, hyperextensions, rope pull downs For the chest: flat or incline or decline bench press, dumbbell flyes For the arms: barbell or dumbbell curls, wrist curls, triceps extensions For the legs: squats, lunges, leg presses For the shoulders: dumbbell shoulder press, military press
The best weight training programs to have are those that are difficult because you are pushed to push the envelope of your own physical capabilities. Your health, appearance and strength will benefit from a great workout session. Continue to strive for the next level and you won?t be disappointed.
