Get A Power Weight Lifting Program Your Body Will Thank You For -- Eventually

By Emmanuel Palmer


Every massive, rock-hard physique out there can owe its thanks to a sound weight lifting program that translates your body's weight to big muscles and solid strength. What are the things one needs to know what makes effective bodybuilding workouts? These workouts are intense, varied and customized to meet the needs of a specific body type.

High intensity workouts are good for people who plan to gain a considerable amount of body mass in a short period of time. There are also others who are more comfortable in building up endurance and bulk over a period of two to three months. A better approach is to find the blocks that work best for your specific body type and integrate it into one. Give each session your all.

If one aspires to get a bigger physique in a hurry, your initial reaction is to hit the gym as often as you can right? Do not do this. It will actually do your body more good if you take long breaks in between training so the muscle tissues are allowed to heal and mend properly. Quality rest makes for bigger and stronger muscles. A proven strategy for an effective weight lifting program is split training certain muscle groups and assign it on certain days so you can plan your schedule better.

A three day split workout will give you something like this: 1st day - chest, arms and stomach 2nd day - back, shoulders and stomach 3rd day - legs If you prefer to spread your workouts into the week you can also try this five day split plan: 1st day - legs 2nd day - shoulders 3rd day - back and stomach 4th day - shoulders and arms 5th day - chest and stomach Concentrate on getting good food and sleep especially the rest days in between training.

You don't really need a lot of fancy machines to have a successful workout. Even if you only have several weights of dumbbells, cables and a bench you have a whole catalog of drills you can base a program on. For the upper body try the bicep and triceps curl, dumbbell shrugs, lat pull downs and triceps kickbacks. Use the squats, calf raises, leg raises and squats for your lower body. Crunches will always be a staple that will work for anybody, but even then, you need to vary all these drills ever couple of weeks or so to challenge and push your body to its maximum potential.

As a beginner, always start with the more manageable weight loads. As your body continues to progress, keep increasing the weights so the muscles are consistently strained; thus giving it no choice but to grow faster. For those who want a bodybuilder's physique, the loads you should be lifting should get you around 7 to 12 repetitions until failure.

Finally, always remember to stretch properly before, during and after workout sessions. Doing so raises your body's temperature and makes you more limber to perform your exercises better.

Bodybuilding workouts work only as well as the dedication and tenacity of the individual undertaking it. Practice safety and care while you train; and give it your all in each session. The winner in you will take nothing less.
