By Emmanuel Palmer


Who doesn't want to live like a rock star? You get to look great, live like a king and have beautiful women at every state. Well, the last two we can work on later but for now, let's see what we can do about getting that gladiator physique everyone will be admiring you for. You may not be naturally built like a tank; but if you have determination and are willing to do whatever it takes-- anything is possible.

We will begin with learning the science behind how to build bigger muscle. When you exercise, the heavy weights that the body lifts put tears in the muscles. Rest, especially a good night's sleep, help restore and build up the tissue to endure the stress put upon it-hence the bigger muscles that physical training results in. Here is an effective weight lifting workout designed to help your body pack on the muscles you've always wanted.

Always do some warm up exercises before working out. This stimulates blood flow to your heart, lungs and muscles; moreover raising your body's temperature for optimal training performance. If you plan to bulk up, do only 10 to 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. Stretch before, during and after your workout to minimize soreness the next few days.

You will find an assortment of machines and drills that you can utilize for your training. The important thing is to strategize and plan your training and establish the frequency, reps/sets and weights you will be using to fully maximize the muscle groups you exercise on any given day.

When you are starting out, use lower weights and do 2 to three sets of 12 repetitions in your drills. Choose the correct weight by finding out what load will tire your target muscle by the 12th repetition. Try different weights on subsequent work outs to experiment. Rest periods between sets should be about 60 to 90 seconds if you're aiming to build bigger muscle.

Experienced trainers will suggest a two to four day training to maximize your work out sessions-allowing you to focus and work hard on specific muscle groups on certain days. Try dividing between your upper (back, chest, arms, shoulders) and lower (legs, stomach) body if that works for you. You can also train muscle groups that work together on the same days. Remember to exercise according to the size; start with the larger muscles first before proceeding with the smaller ones.

Here are some of the drills you can use: Back: deadlifts, T-bar rows, lat pull downs Chest: bench press (flat, incline and decline) Shoulders: military press, dumbbell rear felt flyes Arms: barbell curls, dips, close-grip bench press Legs: squats, front squats, leg press, lunges Stomach: leg raises and crunches

Always take plenty of fluids, around 10 to 12 glasses of water, to fuel your body during workout sessions. Do not forget to cool down by stretching thoroughly after exercise and consult with your therapist immediately for any unusual pain you feel in your joints and muscles. Now you have an excellent weight lifting workout-- go forth and multiply your muscles.
