Build Muscle Workout for Beginners
There are many helpful build muscle workout tips available in the internet. But with so many out there, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. I have been in that same dilemma not so long ago. A very good friend of mine who is a professional body building coach helped me find the perfect solution to my predicament. I am now endowed with rippling muscles that I am quite proud of, if I may say so myself.
I have learned that when just starting out, a build muscle workout should begin with a total body workout of three to four sessions per week. A total body workout is an exercise where you work on each body part separately, also what is known as muscle isolation. Most of the time, I see people who work on just two or three body parts. They then end up looking like cartoon characters with large chests and thin chicken legs. So work on all of your body parts, namely your shoulders, chest, forearms, abdominals, triceps, traps, calves, buttocks, hamstrings, biceps, laterals, and quads. Of course, you cannot do these all in one day. Alternate your routine by working on your chest, forearms, abs on the first day; then on your triceps, calves, buttocks on the following day; and so on. By doing so, all your muscles will have enough time to recover.
Begin by performing 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise that you do. Take a 1 to 2 minute break between sets. If you are doing weights, don’t go too heavy too soon. And it would also be totally useless if you go for lightweights that do not challenge your muscles at all. If you feel like you are about to give up on the last 3 repetitions of your last set, then that is exactly the weight for that muscle group – for now.
If you feel like you are extra comfortable in weight lifting, then by all means, lift heavier. Just cut down on the repetitions, and add to the number of your sets. So instead of doing 3 sets of 10 reps, do 5 sets of 5 reps. It is very important to remember that you have to have 1-2 minutes rest in between. Carrying heavier weights is more effective in tearing up the muscles of your body, hence, promoting faster muscle build up.
After your first three or four weeks, feel free to boost your build muscle workout up. Remember, though, that if you feel like your muscles are no longer reacting to the pressure of the weights, it is time to step it up. Also, remember that the pains you feel in your muscles are actually your muscles tearing up. Always give it sufficient time to heal.
Aside from the help of my friend, I have also come across a website that has helped me a lot in my build muscle workout regime. Believe me when I say that there is nothing like it. You get a workout that is practically effortless and so effective. Check it out for yourself.
