Weight Training Exercises That pack A Lot Of Power

By Emmanuel Palmer


There are two main objectives that people are armed with as they head towards the gym-- they either want to trim off excess weight, or pack on huge muscles. If you want to lose some pounds and tone up your body, then go on a low calorie diet and aim for high cardiovascular workouts. However, to build bigger muscle you will have to do the opposite. Load up on the calories and brace yourself for intense weight training exercises that will surely get you a massive physique.

For this article, we concentrate on those who want to build up their body. You will first of all need to gain a considerable amount of body mass. To accomplish this, trainers suggest 45 to 75 minutes of high intensity training. Cardio workouts will be done only minimally during certain days of the week. Maximize every session by taking only 90 second breaks between each set.

There are many new exercise equipment and drills out there but the simplest ones are usually the most effective. For legs, you can never go wrong with squats. Change up the positions in executing squats and you can target the different sections of your leg area. Supplement these drills with calf raises and lunges.

The bench press is the classic chest exercise for men. You can alter it by changing up the angle to incline and decline regularly which will do your body well. There are some people who think there are better ways to build up one?s chest by performing dumbbell flyes and pullovers instead of bench press. There really is no right or wrong answer, do what your body responds well to as long as your body is constantly challenged and pushed beyond its comfort zone. Accomplish this by continually increasing weights and varying your reps and sets.

For guns as big as a wrestler's, do strong bench dips and bicep curls. Use high weights and increase them even more as you progress. You will notice the difference soon enough. Your arms will feel the strain the days after your training; and if they are still sore, do not exercise them yet. Over training the muscles will do you more harm than good in the long run.

There are many different exercises you can use for the back and shoulder muscles but some of the most effective ones are pull-ups (for the back) and the military press (for the shoulders). Remember to change it up every two to six weeks to utilize your weight training exercises to its maximum productivity.

For bodybuilding purposes, strong aerobic training is not advisable. That being said, make sure you do not neglect your cardiovascular training by engaging in light running or sports every so often. Your goal maybe to bulk up; but it shouldn?t be at the expense of your heart?s health.

And most of all, make the best out of your weight training exercises by hitting all your drills strong every single time. You can rush through the assigned number of sets with poor form but your body will not be fooled. Do your best, and not only will you build bigger muscle -you will feel better about yourself as well.
