An appropriate weight lifting program is essential if you are working towards attaining the goal of any muscle builder – seeking to build his muscle mass. A good weight lifting program entails putting together a program that will bring about the desired result. This means that a muscle lifter should not simply go into the gym and throw weights around. Rather, he should have a specific routine to follow. Specifically, lifting weights involve weight training programs that are based on the proper science and tested techniques. Here is a sample workout program that uses a variety of weight exercises.
Most men would like to get a mighty chest, big biceps, and six-pack abs. there is no harm in wanting these of course. But instead of training like a bodybuilder and relying on single-joint exercises designed to isolate specific muscles, start training like an athlete. Meaning, improve your strength rather than your size. You will finally build the body you want as you also improve your performance, minimize injury, burn fat, and feel more motivated.
Stand with feet together, holding onto a bar or wall for balance. Step back about 3-4 feet and bend both knees, lowering into a lunge. Do not allow front knee to bend over the toe. Push back to starting position and repeat. Try not to push with the back foot – use front leg to pull your back leg in. Lie on a step, bench or floor with weights a few inches above the chest, elbows even with bench. Keeping abs tight, exhale and push arms up overhead – keeping weights a few inches apart. Don’t lock elbows. Lower back to start and repeat.
Stand with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, weights in front of thighs. Keeping back flat and abs in, tip from the hips and lower torso towards the floor, keeping hands close to legs, shoulders back. Squeeze through glutes and hamstrings to raise back up. All movement is from the hips. Do NOT round the back. Bend over, with torso parallel to floor or at 45 degree angle, abs in and knees slightly bent. Bend arms and bring elbows towards ribcage, contracting the muscles of the outer back. Lower arms and repeat.
Holding on to a chair for balance, bend right knee to 90 degrees. Keeping body upright, lift bent leg straight up until it’s parallel to the floor. Slowly lower back to start and repeat on each leg. For added resistance, use 1-5 lb ankle weights or a resistance band. Stand with feet hip-width apart and bend at the waist until back is parallel to floor. Pull the elbows up next to torso. Keeping elbows static, straighten arms by contracting triceps. Lower and repeat.
Stand with feet hip-width apart holding body bar, barbell (or dumbbells in front of thighs, palms out. Bend elbows and bring weights towards the shoulders (without swinging). Lower back down and repeat.
Finally, any type of weight lifting program involves scientific fundamentals. As such, it involves proper form and execution. Any weight lifter must approach it with precision and care. Otherwise, the time he spends in the gym comes to naught. It is important that he goes through the program with this in mind if he seeks to be successful in transforming his body into the muscle buff he desires that it becomes.
