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

By Emmanuel Palmer


Creating a body worthy of an Olympic champion is the offshoot of a solid weight lifting program that transforms the body?s weight to massive muscles and strength. What makes the bodybuilding workouts that comprise it effective? These workouts are always intense, progressive and specific to your body type.

A high-intensity workout is great for those who are planning to add on a lot of body mass in a relatively short period of time. Other people prefer to build up over a span of two to three months. The best approach is to combine both methods and find the blocks that work best for your own body specifically. The most important thing in this is that you give each session your best effort.

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 a 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 would look something like this: Monday - chest, arms and abs Wednesday ? back, shoulder and abs Saturday ? legs If you prefer a five day split workout here is one you can follow: Monday - legs Tuesday ? shoulders Wednesday ? back and abs Thursday ? shoulders and arms Friday ? chest and abs Concentrate on getting serious sleep and eating health during the rest of the days.

You can use many kinds of exercises for different muscle groups. Squats for the legs and crunches for the stomach are some of the best ones that will always work for people. Even so, make sure you change them up every week or so to keep your body guessing, pushing it to its physical endurance limits. Fancy machines are fine but even without them you can train effectively. If all you have are dumbbells, cables and a bench; you already have a repertoire of workouts at your disposal. Some of these are bicep curls, dumbbell shrugs, bench press, triceps kickbacks for the upper body; and lunges, leg raises, squats and crunches for the lower body.

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.

Lastly, do not forget to stretch well before starting your exercises and even between sets. Stretching raises your body?s temperature level and makes you more flexible; both of which contribute to favorable physical conditions for training.

Only the persevering and patient individual can see his bodybuilding workouts come to fruition. Exercise care in your training even as you give it all you?ve got. There is no room for less for the champion that is inside you.
