I don’t know about you but personally there is just something about excercising that is stimulating to me – whether it be mentally, physically and to some extent, emotionally as well. Physical routines, especially the high intensity weight training programs, push your body to its highest capacity; beyond what you previously thought you couldn’t endure. In every exercise, you have to concentrate that you are performing it with the right positions without compromising weight amount and number of repetitions that are required. And do not overlook seeing the results – it’s the icing on the low fat chocolate fitness cake, so to speak. It’s good.
Now that we are sufficiently prepped and revved for action, let us have a study on the best muscle building workouts that will give anyone their most amazing body as soon as possible. There are two fundamental weight training practices being utilized today: the high intensity training and periodization.
High intensity training is basically doing your workout sessions strong and always to the maximum level. You go to the gym an average of two to three times a week spending an hour to an hour and a half on short but very intense training modules. As your strength and endurance inevitably develops, you will be expected to raise the weight load or number of repetitions in every set. In applying this type of training, your body gets used to wield the required intensity you want from it to perform according to your set standards. You will see results faster and your body is pushed to the limits.
Periodization training programs will give your body more time to adapt and develop into the physical strain you are inflicting on it. In this specific school of weight training there is light training for about three weeks, proceeded by more few weeks of medium training and finishing with heavier training. Your focus is to not over train the muscle groups in the body; instead you are slowly building up your strength and muscle mass over time. The stages in Periodization ensure that your body does not grow sluggish by staying on one level for long periods.
Both schools of thought have advantages and disadvantages; the best approach is to integrate what will work specifically for your own body. Many people find that a three or four day split workout of low frequency but high power training is the best muscle building strategy for them. Remember to change the drills and weights every two weeks or so for maximum efficacy.
You can use these exercises to assist you in your fitness goals.
Legs: squats, presses, lunges, and curls
Arms: barbell curls, extensions, wrist curls
Chest: bench press (flat, inclined and declined), dumbbell flyes
Shoulders: seated shoulder press, military press
Back: shrugs, deadlifts, seated rows, rope pull downs, hyperextensions
Stomach: inverted crunches, leg raises
The best weight training programs are those that may be challenging but push your body to improve and go the distance in its physical endurance goals. Whatever your motivation is – health, to look good or strength training; continue to push yourself and you will find satisfaction with a job well done.
