You want to be the body double of Dwayne Johnson-hey there's nothing wrong with that. Let me ask you though, how far are you willing to go to see that dream turn into reality? You can achieve that by following a grueling bodybuilding workout with specific weight lifting programs that will sometimes feel like torture. Are you up for it? If so, read on to see how.
To make the most out of exercises, always take time out to warm up and stretch thoroughly before commencing with hard drills. Now that you have, let us begin with the first workout. There are few physical attributes more impressive than a big broad chest. Here are a few tips to get us going.
Do 2 sets of 15 reps of bench press. Start with the lighter weight and progress to the heavier loads with 3 sets of 8 reps done to failure. Emphasize the training on your upper chest muscles by angling the bench to 25 to 30 degree angle of either incline or decline. You can combine chest training with arm exercises. Again, begin with lighter loads and build up the weights of your loads.
You cannot go wrong with the crunches; it is still the best way to sculpt the stomach muscles. Watch that you execute with the proper form, that is, arms across your chest instead of under your neck. One sometimes tends to pull from the neck instead of using the abdominal muscles when performing this exercise. Include leg raises to target the lower abs. Exercise the obliques by holding on weights on each hand and with deliberate movements, bend from side to side. Do not rush as it can lead to future lower back problems.
Many gym goers who aspire to be bodybuilders are not as enthusiastic about working out their backs because they seldom see it anyway. You need to develop a strong back, this muscle group is important as it aids in the other exercises wherein you carry a lot of weight. As you begin, start with pull ups, dead lifts and chin ups. Later on as you progress incorporate more exercises like the lat pull downs, barbell shrugs (upper back); seated rows (middle back); and hyperextensions (lower back).
Shoulders are one of the most difficult body parts to target. Make sure you exercise them before you start with the triceps so it is more effective. Workouts for this muscle group include the seated shoulder press for beginners, moving up with the military press, machine presses and the lateral raises. Warm up before you go full on with 50% of the weights you normally carry.
Training the leg muscles are easy because it develops quite easily; however the drills required for these are usually more physically taxing than the others. Squats are the basic bodybuilding workout for this. It works almost all parts of your legs depending on the variation you use. Include lunges, leg press and hamstring exercises to get those powerful thighs to carry the rest of your muscular body.
Weight lifting programs give us an opportunity to exercise not just our muscles but our grit and determination to accomplish difficult undertakings. At the end of the day you not only take home a fit and muscular physique; you get a champion's heart that will take you anywhere in life.
