Your Best Body Now - An Excellent Weight Lifting Program

By Emmanuel Palmer


Creating a body worthy of an Olympic champion is the offshoot of a solid weight lifting program that transforms the body's weight to massive muscles and strength. What makes the bodybuilding workouts that comprise it effective? These workouts are always intense, progressive and specific to your body type.

High intensity workouts are good for people who plan to gain a considerable amount of body mass in a short period of time. There are also others who are more comfortable in building up endurance and bulk over a period of two to three months. A better approach is to find the blocks that work best for your specific body type and integrate it into one. Give each session your all.

Even if you are in a hurry to get big, refrain from the urge to train every single day for a few weeks-this will do you more harm than good. You need to get quality sleep between the days you workout so your body can repair the muscle tissues torn during exercise. With proper rest, these will develop into bigger and much stronger muscles. An effective strategy is to split your weight lifting program into muscle groups that you can work on specific days.

A three day split workout would look something like this: Monday - chest, arms and abs Wednesday - back, shoulder and abs Saturday - legs If you prefer a five day split workout here is one you can follow: Monday - legs Tuesday - shoulders Wednesday - back and abs Thursday - shoulders and arms Friday - chest and abs Concentrate on getting serious sleep and eating health during the rest of the days.

You don't really need a lot of fancy machines to have a successful workout. Even if you only have several weights of dumbbells, cables and a bench you have a whole catalog of drills you can base a program on. For the upper body try the bicep and triceps curl, dumbbell shrugs, lat pull downs and triceps kickbacks. Use the squats, calf raises, leg raises and squats for your lower body. Crunches will always be a staple that will work for anybody, but even then, you need to vary all these drills ever couple of weeks or so to challenge and push your body to its maximum potential.

When you begin to train, you will be starting with lesser weights and perhaps a higher number of repetitions. Gradually increase the weights so the muscle is stressed and stimulates accelerated growth. If you are training for bodybuilding purposes, use weights that give you a maximum of 7 to 12 reps until failure.

Finally, always remember to stretch properly before, during and after workout sessions. Doing so raises your body's temperature and makes you more limber to perform your exercises better.

Only the persevering and patient individual can see his bodybuilding workouts come to fruition. Exercise care in your training even as you give it all you've got. There is no room for less for the champion that is inside you.
