Let’s start with the barrel chest. Nothing will inspire a damsel in distress more than a broad and well-developed chest on a guy. To get the most out of your training, always remember to stretch and warm up properly so that your blood will flow to the target area preparing it for hard workout sessions.
Begin with 2 sets of bench press with 15 repetitions each. Then progress to 3 sets of incline bench press and dumbbell flyes of about 8 reps each. A 25-30 degree slant for the inclined bench press gives you maximum weight lifting burn especially for the upper chest muscles. You can also train your arms alongside your chest. Begin with lower weight loads and build your way to higher loads with less repetition per set.
The crunches are still the best way to sculpt one’s abs. Do not rest your hands below your head because this will lead to poor posture and furthermore, put strain on your neck area. Cross your arms above your chest is a better position. Other good abdominal exercises are leg raises. You can do this prone or gripping the arm rests of a bar or the Roman chair. For the obliques, you can hold on to weights on both sides of your hands and slowly bend from side to side. Do not do these exercises quickly or it can lead to lower back injuries.
Many aspiring bodybuilders work out their backs not as much as they should because the back is a muscle group they seldom see. However, it is one of the most important muscle groups to develop because a strong back is the foundation of most training. For the beginners, the best back workouts will be the chin up, pull ups and dead lifts. As you advance, you can exchange with the barbell shrugs, upright rows, lat pull downs (upper back); hyper extensions, bent over barbell rows (lower back); one arm dumbbell rows, seated rows (middle back).
Shoulders are perhaps one of the hardest body parts to target. The seated shoulder press is a good exercise for this target muscle. Start with one to two sets of warm ups that is half of the weight you usually carry. You can also switch it up with military press exercise, machine presses and lateral raises. Always make sure you perform these drills before you do triceps.
Leg muscle exercises are challenging but these muscles usually develops without much difficulty unlike some of the other body parts. The basic bodybuilding workout for legs is the squat. Squats work almost all parts of your legs. Incorporate leg press, leg curls, lunges, calf raises and hamstring exercises to ensure powerful and muscular thighs that can bear the rest of your buff body.
Weight lifting programs will challenge the best of us. They will require of you determination of steel and a strong disregard for momentary aches. The outcome is not just a rock hard body; it is good health and a key outlook of resiliency that will carry you anywhere in life.
