There is a big difference between getting fit and toned and bulking up. This article includes some great techniques to effectively build muscle mass.
So, you want to get ripped? You have bought a big stack of bodybuilding supplements and they are going to work miracles. Really all you should be doing is lifting the odd weight when you have time? If this sounds like you, then start thinking hard about whether this is for you.
Before you do anything else, decide what size you want to be. Are you just looking to be toned? This article isnt really aimed at toning. There are many workout routines you can use to build well toned muscle. If you want to bulk up, keep reading. Its not for everybody, so dont feel there is a thing wrong with trying to get a fit, toned body.
If you want to be big and to build lots of muscle mass there are three things that you need to be doing. If you can only remember one though, remember squats! This single exercise works muscles all over your body. Most importantly, putting your body through this massive workout actually causes you to release muscle building hormones. Squats are kind of like natural testosterone supplements really, in just one exercise!
You should definitely have dead lifting in your plan too. Combined with squats you have covered 75% of all the muscles in your body with two exercises. If you havent done a deadlift before get someone like a gym instructor to show you it. The last thing you want to do is to injure yourself with improper technique. This is basically lifting a weight from the floor until you are standing straight holding it in your arms below you.
The next thing to remember is to stick with compound exercises. Isolating a single muscle group is just for show, do it on a Friday night by all means. You can impress the ladies with a tight and expanded bicep from a recent workout. Do you build your whole workout around that sort of technique though? If you want to see results then probably not!
Working a number of muscles at once is more effective using compound exercises. Try and include things like pull ups, bar bell rows and of course bench presses.
Add plenty of protein and no junk food or alcohol to this plan and you will see the difference surprisingly quickly.
