The Practice Of Cycling Training

cycling training
The practice of cycling training intensity involves “down time” when no effort is made to produce new gains in muscular size and strength. There is some detraining because, by cutting back, you get a little weaker than your previous best, before pushing again to go into new (for you) poundage territory.

Taken to its extreme, i.e., if you cut back too much and for too long, cycling is a disaster. Do not abuse cycling. A 6-month “perfectly” organized stretch that brings you to a peak for just two new-ground workouts is a perversion of cycling. You need to train very hard for a darn sight more than a few weeks out of every 26 - for most of your workouts, in fact.

Some people see intensity cycling as a waste of time because they think that the more hard workouts they have, the better. They are so eager to get training flat-out, or very near to it, that they never develop the gaining momentum needed for long-term progress. Also, by dropping right into full-bore work, how are exercise form and mental concentration going to be learned or reviewed, and then perfected?

While you should push yourself to the limit for most of your workouts, “most” does not mean “all.” Learn not to push yourself to the limit during some periods. This is difficult to do if you have been locked into the “hard all the time” philosophy. Those who try to train full-bore all of the time have a built-in natural cycling format, whether they like it or not. Is there any typical working and family person who can train full-bore two or three times each week for 52 weeks of the year while being 100% healthy, 100% motivated for every single session, and not having work or family circumstances disrupt training? The disruptions and constraints of life force people to have ups and downs in their training, giving it a natural cycling format.

Some Rules For Effective Cycling

effective cycling
When building back to your previous best weights, in readiness for the journey into new poundage territory, take an extra week, or two, or three. Build the springboard necessary for the big push into new poundage territory.

When adding poundage to the bar, use smaller rather than larger increments.

When you have made your last perfect rep and know there is only a partial rep left in you, keep it in and wait the extra workout or two until you can perform that rep perfectly. Do not drive yourself to exhaustion and stagnation by forcing out (with help) reps you cannot currently do. Save that energy and effort, and combine them with a bit more time and patience.

When in the final stages of a training cycle, get an extra hour of sleep each night.

Take an extra day or two between workouts when you do not feel 100% recovered.

Take more rest between sets, not less (unless you are experimenting with a faster pace of training).

When you are struggling to keep up with pre-determined poundage increments, delay the next planned increment and stay with the old weight until you have adapted to it.

Lots of little bits over half a year add up to far more than a couple of much bigger jumps over less than a month. This is especially true when, as so often happens, the latter is followed by stagnation, mental fatigue and physical injury, and having to start all over again.

Do not ruin the potential magic of abbreviated routines by adding poundage too quickly, in too large jumps, or by training too frequently.

Take more time to learn perfect form before piling on the weight.

Make time to study more about sensible training methods.

Find the time to develop a flexible body and then maintain it.

If in doubt, perform extra warmup work, but keep the reps low.

Building Massive Chest Muscles

chest muscles
Are you looking for a massive chest like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Not hitting the chest muscle properly will leave you with underdeveloped pec muscles.

Here are some tips to build bigger chest muscles:

Focus on lifting heavy with volume

Lifts such as bench press and incline press allow you to lift more weight than other isolation exercises in the gym. Do not be afraid to stack a bunch of weight on the bar when doing bench press or other chest exercises. You need to stress the muscles as much as possible in order for them to repair and increase size. Ideally you should be shooting for 6-10 reps on bench press, while doing about 4 sets. You should be pushing yourself to almost failure on each set and it should not be easy. Do not go to low of reps or you will be working more on strength and not size.

Vary your chest exercises

Do not be one of the persons that is always doing flat bench every week to look cool. You need to be hitting incline, decline, and flys. Also, make sure you switch from barbells to dumbbells from time to time. Change the order or your chest exercises for a given day as well.

Incorporate Weighted Dips

Many people ignore this really effective chest exercise. It actually works your chest really well along with your triceps. Be sure to add weight to dips for added effectiveness. I never thought dips worked well until I started adding weight. Start with 25 pounds and keep working your way up. You will need a dip belt once you start doing more than about 50 pounds with a dumbbell. Weighted dips are definitely one of the best chest exercises.

Focus on proper form

Make sure your form is correct on all of your exercises. Not only cold you cause yourself injury, but you could be limiting your progress. Leave your ego behind and focus on technique rather than how much weight you can stack up.
Soon you will start seeing added size to your pectoral muscles by following these simple tips.

How To Choose The Right Weight Gainer

weight gainer

Weight gain supplements are so common they have found their way into the mainstream through television, movies, and advertisements. A trip to the grocery store may reveal them lurking on the shelves. As with any supplement, the more popularity they gain, the more supplement companies jump on board with their own versions. How does a person wade through this confusing market and find the right weight gainer?

First it is important to note that counterfeiting in the weight gain market is uncommon, unlike other supplement areas. A weight gain formula simply needs extra calories to work and this is fairly cheap to accomplish. Most supplement manufacturers would not waste their time, or risk their reputation, on fake weight gain formulas. When trying to find a good weight gain formula it is important to remember that the goal is to gain muscle. To accomplish this a weight gain formula must have the right nutrients in a good ratio to add muscle and not just fat.

A few key points will help in the quest for the right weight gainer. Number one, flavor is not everything. Flavor comes at the expense of added sugar, and sugar does not build muscle. Actually, sugar can cause an insulin spike that opens up receptors on the fat cells and shuffles the excess calories there instead of the muscles. Some sugar (no more than 5 to 10 grams per serving) may be okay to make the drink palatable, but no more. Other carbohydrates in the formula should be complex carbohydrates, with at least a little fiber thrown in to enhance digestion.

The second point involves protein. It is important to remember that muscles are made up of mostly protein and water. Since the muscles require protein (more specifically amino acids) to repair damaged fibers and build new ones, protein becomes an essential piece of the weight gainer puzzle. Depending on how the weight gainer will be used, the amount of protein needed may vary. If the weight gainer is used to replace a meal then you will want one with a higher protein content. If it is simply an in-between meal supplement to add extra calories, and your regular meals are high in protein then the protein content does not need to be as high. Protein and carbohydrate content should be close to even, and protein should be at least double the sugar content.

Ease of mixing is the third key point. A good weight gainer is one you can throw in your car and mix on the road if needed. This provides muscle-feeding calories where ever, and when ever, they are needed. While on the road you can grab a container of milk (or water) from the store and mix the weight gainer on the spot. This comes in handy when you would otherwise have to skip a meal due to being away from home. It should not be a regular occurrence, but serves well in an emergency.

Look for a gainer with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. This will help ensure overall health. A strong, efficient system is important for solid gains. Some formulas add specific amino acids, chromium, creatine and metabolic activators to enhance the formula. This can be a convenient way to get these other nutrients, but if you already take them separately it may not be necessary. Some companies will throw some of the cheaper extras in and hype the enhanced quality, but the extras really have no added benefit. This allows them to increase the price. Avoid these ones, they are more hype than benefit.

A good weight gainer should be low in sugar with some good quality complex carbohydrates. It should have good quality proteins almost equal to the carbohydrate content. A few additional components added to it, such as creatine, glutamine or vitamins and minerals, can be beneficial, as well. All of this in an easy to mix formula makes for a good weight gainer that will help pack on solid weight when accompanied by a solid training program. This is the essential piece, a weight gainer will not add muscle without a stimulus to use those calories for good. Extra calories without intense workouts leads to added fat stores and no added muscle. Lastly, don’’t rely on the name on the bucket to tell you if it is a good product. Research a little. Ask fellow lifters or check out a few online forums. Read the label, and not just the nutritional panel, but also the ingredients list. A good weight gainer can supply those muscle-feeding calories and nutrients to put you over the edge, when coupled with intense, muscle expanding workouts.

All About The Chicken

One of the main staples of any bodybuilder’s diet is chicken…and lots of it. Eating so much poultry can be a challenge unto itself, it can be expensive, time consuming to prepare and potentially hazardous to your health if not looked after properly. Below are some tips and guidelines to help streamline this portion of your bodybuilding diet and make the largest element of your daily meals a joy to work with.

Chicken or poultry is one of the most versatile and simple meats available; it is available in many forms, reasonably priced and can be cooked in so many different ways, offering so many various flavours, it really is the best source of protein a bodybuilder can add to his diet.

Staring along the meat cooler and butcher counter at you local supermarket will give you some idea of the numerous cuts of poultry that are available; whole chickens, legs, wings, breasts, necks and many other assortments of chicken parts. You can choose from simple cuts of light or dark meat areas, whole cut legs with the bone and skin left intact, or even skinless / boneless breasts and legs. Speaking strictly about taste and pure culinary enjoyment, an outdoor grilled chicken leg with the skin and bone left in, basted with a mild jerk sauce and served with sweet bread, might just be the best dish on earth, though from a health and nutrition standpoint may not be the best choice.

It is widely accepted that skinless boneless chicken breasts are the way to go for a high protein bodybuilding diet; three to four breasts a day fits the bill quite nicely. If you’re buying your chicken in line with your regular grocery trip from the supermarket, you and you wallet may be cringing at the thought of consuming three to four chicken breasts a day, but there are easier and less expensive ways to shop.

With some possible exceptions, most cities have available wholesale butchers and poultry production factories that will likely offer walk-in sales to non-wholesale buyers through factory outlets. Quite often these factory outlets offer sales and discounts beyond what your grocery store mark up will allow, not mentioning the overall price advantage of buying straight from the factory. Typically the product offered through these wholesalers is pre-packaged boxes of standard poultry cuts, including skinless boneless breasts. These boxes, ranging anywhere from 3-8kgs, can contain enough chicken to sustain your diet for a two week period, reaching only nearly half what it might cost through the supermarket. All you need to do beyond that is make sure there’s enough freezer space to hold all that meat, well, nearly all.

So once you’ve found a deal on “bulk” chicken and cleared enough space in your icebox, what next? Unless you plan to eat the entire box of breasts in one sitting, at least a portion of it needs to be frozen before cooking. If you can avoid exposing the meat to the air during freezing, you can usually reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of freezer burn it will suffer; leaving the box sealed until you need it is of course your best option. Never, never, thaw chicken and refreeze it, if you must thaw the chicken, cook it and simply refrigerate the uneaten portion.

Let’s talk briefly about Salmonella bacteria or food poisoning; Salmonella is a bacteria that is found naturally in the intestines of animals, birds, reptiles, some pets and even humans; but is also found in the environment. People who eat food contaminated by or are exposed to Salmonella can become ill with salmonellosis, also commonly referred to as food poisoning. Chicken and pork are the two most likely sources of food borne salmonella bacteria in the home, and both meats if handled improperly can spread the bacteria to cooking surfaces, utensils and to other food through direct or indirect contact. The process of cooking the meat (heating it to the appropriate temperature for the prescribed amount of time), will destroy any bacteria already present within the flesh, though transfer of the bacteria can occur as the meat comes into contact with other food stuffs, and cookware etc prior to cooking. Always be sure to keep your food preparation area clean and use clean utensils and cookware for preparing your chicken. It’s a good idea to rinse or wash your thawed chicken breast in water prior to beginning your preparations; be sure to wash your hands with soap and hot water after handling raw chicken.

Now you’re ready to get cooking, but have you thought of the method you’re going to use to turn that hunk of raw poultry into a tasty and nutritious meal? While there are many ways to cook that breast, some are less healthy and efficient than others and it’s important to find a method that lets you retain the natural benefits of the meat, while remaining appetizing and not adding too much bad fat or extra carbohydrate to your diet. Let’s look at the three most popular and simple ways to cook your chicken; boiling, broiling and grilling.

The simplest and perhaps best way to preserve all of the natural amino acids and enzymes in the meat is to boil the chicken in water, otherwise known as poaching. Since there is no searing or charring involved and no actual hot surface is touching the flesh of the chicken, nothing is lost during the process of cooking and thus the finished product is pure and unaltered; in addition, boiling the chicken adds nothing to the meat such as fats or carbohydrates from sauces etc.

Different spices and seasonings are available to add flavour, which is carried into the meat through the boiling process, but essentially, boiling is the best way to ensure your chicken is just that…pure chicken. The only drawback to poached chicken is that the flavour can be somewhat distilled and faint, so for those who prefer a more flavourful chicken experience, broiling may be the way to go.

Broiling chicken involves placing the meat in the oven at high temperature for specific amounts of time, usually basted and/or pre-marinated in sauces, rubs and various spices. This type of cooking can be time consuming, though it would be possible to cook several breasts at once, depending on the size of your cookware. You will find that broiling chicken results in a much more flavourful and tender finished dish, the heat and length of time help to draw the flavours and oils from the basting sauces etc into the meat, essentially permeating the entire breast with foreign substances. Obviously, adding sauces to your chicken is not only going to change the flavour of the meat, but it will also add fats, oils and carbohydrates to the chicken, as well as alter some of the amino acid chains naturally found in the meat. The effect of the change could be insignificant, depending on the types of sauces (i.e. low fat products etc), or it could result in a fattening, cholesterol rich meal that would ultimately be detrimental to the goal of your diet.

Lastly, and perhaps finally (to the backyard grill masters out there), there is grilling. Virtually every restaurant you could go to offers some variety of grilled chicken, usually a skinless boneless chicken breast, grilled with a light oil basting, served with some form of pasta or rice, and you might be hard pressed to find a person who has not at some point tried similar recipes and dishes at home. Whether you plan to grill your chicken on an indoor electric grill or outdoors on a charcoal or gas grill, the process is virtually the same. As with boiling, grilling can be done to add nothing extra to your chicken, simply placing an unseasoned, plain breast on the grill can provide you with a nicely cooked and pure source of protein, though it would be less than tasty. There are many hundreds of barbeque sauces available and even some decent low fat, low cholesterol choices; marinating and basting your breast in one, or a combination of sauces is a good way to flavorize the meat, though, as with broiling you end up adding fats and carbohydrates to the meal. The difference might be, at least with open grilling, that a good deal of the oils and fats are burned off in the fire, leaving most of the flavours and less of the undesired contaminants; and again, the process of grilling leaves the chicken slightly altered, as far as it’s amino acid content, though the change is negligible and not enough to drastically alter the quality of the meat.

Any way you slice it, chicken is a tasty and effective way to increase the amount of protein in your diet, while not sacrificing taste and satisfaction from your meals. Make wise choices and you will be rewarded with an effective and wholesome diet that will support your bodybuilding goals.

Easy Ways To Increase Muscle Gains

For some of us it might be enough to simply go through the motions; to lift without attention and focus. Though, for most of us, gaining muscle will require a great deal of concentration, focus and adaptive training. For the most part, bodybuilding is a difficult endeavor to be successful with. What follows are some simple tips to maximize the growth of your muscles.

Many beginner bodybuilders will enjoy some fairly rapid gains within their first six months of training. Their body is being assaulted from every angle; it’s being forced to adapt to a new set of physical requirements and hopefully that beginner’s diet is sufficient enough to sustain that adaptation on an ongoing basis, thus allowing significant lean muscle mass gains.

What about beyond that first six months though? Your gains start to slow down, you notice reduced muscle soreness between workouts, maybe you sweat less during your workouts, and you feel less tired in general. Well, the fitness guru would tell you that you achieved your goals; you are now on a healthier path. Your heart is stronger (hence feeling less tired), your cardiovascular system on the whole is operating much more efficiently (the reduced sweating), your muscles are far more efficient at repairing damage due to strenuous exercise (lack of soreness), and your body is adapting well to the rigors of regular strenuous exercise (the reduced gains). This, however, is obviously counterproductive to your actual goals as a bodybuilder.

What you have reached is your first training plateau. Beyond this point is where you will have to commit the resources of your greatest muscle to this endeavor...your brain. If you were to continue to train as you have been, you wouldn’t necessarily do yourself any harm, but you would certain experience some greatly reduced gains. The human body is a marvel of adaptability; it will find a balance between energy out put and energy intake, and will adapt itself to fit those levels, all in an effort to maintain the status quo. In order to make continuous and efficient muscle gains, you must continually push your body to its limits.

We’ve all heard the colorful and memorable idiom, 'go heavy or go home'; and while often misunderstood as a male bravado excuse to grunt loudly and impress women, it is actually an intelligent gem of advice. The only way muscle will be gained is by stimulating the muscle group in question through increasing resistance training (essentially tearing the muscle fibers with each movement and causing the body to repair those muscles, in turn making them bigger). The problem lies in the adaptability of your body. Over time, your muscles will become accustom to the demands of your regular workout; your muscles will grow to be strong enough to handle the normal amount of weight you train with and will no longer need to repair themselves afterward. To counteract this is to continually lift heavier weights and rearrange your daily regime. You will find that most bodybuilders have no difficulty with the concept, though a great many do not understand why. The rate of adaptability you experience will be unique to you, so therefore the rate at which your weights increase will also be unique to you. As stated previously, bodybuilding is a sport in which you compete only against yourself (even on stage in actual competition, which we will discuss later). This is why it’s important to maintain a log book of your daily workout routine. Marking the reps, sets and weights lifted for each exercise will allow you to review your training history and determine if you have been increasing your weights at regular intervals and correlate those figures to your muscle gains.

The short story here is...lift as heavy as you can as often as you can; though that's not the whole story.

If your gains have slowed over a period of time, adapt your plan to not only increase your weights, but also change the specific movements and the order of the movements in your daily routine. Your body will adapt so well that staying with the same exercise order and workout schedule will also begin to reduce your gains. A general rule of thumb is to change your routine every three weeks to six weeks. You don’t need to make drastic changes, and in fact you can simply rearrange the order in which you perform exercises on each day. The level of change necessary will depend on how drastically you need to increase your gains.

By now you know what a rep is and a set is. A rep (repetition) being the unit of measure for each exercise movement (each time you lift the weight), and a set being the grouping of total reps for that exercise. A typical exercise will be comprised of three sets of eight to ten reps. More advanced bodybuilders will play with these numbers in an effort to customize their training for their specific circumstances in any given week or day, but generally 3 sets for 8-10 reps is normal for most bodybuilders.

A typical exercise will begin with a warm up (a very important beginning set at a lower weight), which is not usually counted as one of the three planned sets. Then the first set will normally be ten reps at an easily manageable weight (meaning that ten reps can be managed with little strain, but not much more), and then the remaining sets will be of incrementally greater weight, with the third and final set being of a weight that can only just be managed for between eight and ten reps (or as low as 6 reps for more advanced bodybuilders).

The terms failure and pump are often used to describe the feeling within the muscle at the completion of that third set. Often these terms are confused among each other, though each term describes its own distinct characteristics.

Before outlining those characteristics, understand that training without a spotter is dangerous and not recommended. (A person capable of lifting the weight you are using, who stands ready to assist in the event that you are unable to lift or become injured during the movement) Always use a capable and trusted spotter to prevent injuries and to assist with your form for each movement.

These terms describe the end result for a given exercise. For instance, performing three sets of incrementally greater weight on a particular exercise, ensuring that the cumulative effect of those sets is that you are unable to lift the weight even one more time without assistance would be known as 'working to failure’. Pump or tightness describes the size of the muscle following the movement, speaking to the volume of blood that can be 'pumped’ into the muscle through stimulation.

Many bodybuilders argue the validity of working to pump or failure for maximum muscle gain, with groups advocating either one or the other. Technically speaking, training to failure would be the most advantageous for the person most interested in gaining raw lean muscle mass, and working to pump is best reserved for times when shaping and trimming muscle groups is needed.

The general tone in this is simple, lift as heavy as you can while remaining safe and you will experience gains. When you’ve reached a plateau and feel like you aren’t making gains in muscle mass or in weights, use an experienced spotter and increase your weights deliberately beyond your failure threshold, to be certain you are stimulating the muscle group deeply enough to push past the plateau.

Now, the term 'form’ was used earlier and likely many were hoping to avoid another lecture on maintaining good form in your movements, but you have no such luck today. One of the most important factors for safety and effectiveness in weight training is form. The next time you're watching some He-Man at your gym lifting a ridiculous amount of weight on flat bench or push downs or even preacher curls, take a look at how he's getting the weight up. Is he moving slowly, in a controlled fashion and deliberately pushing or pulling the weight in a specific arc or direction? Or is he squirming, bending and manipulating the weight to its top point? The former would quite obviously be the safest and most effective method, but when looking around your gym, take note of the numbers of people employing the latter technique.

Form is important for two reasons; first of all, safety. Controlling the movement is the best way to be sure that weight goes where you want it to, translating to a safe movement. If you squirm and wiggle under the weight (or over it), you create opportunities for your joints and muscles to move in unnatural or dangerous ways in response to the stress. Most commonly, bodybuilders will suffer back, knee and shoulder injuries as a result of poor form combined with heavy weight.

The second reason is effectiveness. Every movement you will perform is targeted to stimulate one muscle or group of muscles, employing poor form in those movements will not only take the focus away from the intended muscle group, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the movement; but in doing so, it will put that focus on other muscle groups, some of which are not capable of withstanding that kind of strain. When trying new movements or even movements you believe you have a full understanding of, be sure to research the proper form of the movement and practice that form with every lift.

Paying attention to form is one of the most effective ways of maximizing your gains. Another highly effective aspect of training to focus on for increased gains is the type of movements you perform. In the world of bodybuilding, there are many hundreds of exercises, movements and combinations of movements at your disposal, and likely you have chosen some of the more popular ones for your training arsenal. In order to maximize your gains, it's important to ensure that your movements or exercises are core focused, or core exercises. As stated previously, every movement targets a specific muscle or muscle group, but it does no good to focus your training on developing smaller, or incidental muscle groups when you could be focusing on the larger groups that are more capable of advanced growth.

For example; one would not expect enviable gains from a training plan whose exercises focus on quadricep adductors only. The adductors are capable of lifting only small amounts of weight in a very specific movement and would provide very little incidental benefit to the rest of your quad in the process. Why not focus your leg routine on the quad itself, which is capable of lifting far more weight and through its movements, will provide ample incidental stimulation to the adductor and the other muscles of the leg. Whenever possible, which should be most of the time, use core movements such as: flat bench press, shoulder press, squats or leg press, deadlifts, rows, dips and pull ups (or downs) to provide appropriate stimulation to the major muscle groups, as well as good incidental stimulation to smaller, supportive muscle groups.

Core movements can be identified as those exercises in which you can lift heavier weights, and should be the focus of your training per body part each day. Augment core exercises with isometric movements and get good overall stimulation.

Beyond training there are other ways to optimize your muscle gains, not the least of which is ensuring that your diet is engineered appropriately for your lifestyle, size and body type (See article on Creating a Diet Plan); but also drinking enough water through out the day and making sure you get enough rest.

The one possible element of your overall bodybuilding plan that may be more important than training or protein intake is rest. Muscle grows when your body is at rest...it's as simple as that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was once quoted as saying “If you don't have to run, walk; if you don't have to walk, stand; if you don't have to stand, sit; if you don't have to sit, lie; and if you don't have to be awake, sleep.” While possibly not practical for the non-professional bodybuilder / movie star, his words are poignant. If you plan to work hard, train hard and play hard, when do you plan to grow?

These are seven of the easiest and most commonly used (or misused) bodybuilding concepts for maximizing lean muscle mass gain in your training plan. Lift heavy using core exercises and good form; eat well, drink lots of water and get lots of rest; and when ever you feel that your gains are slowing down, change things up.

There is nothing random or lucky about large muscle gains, it is a very scientific process that can be controlled, documented, and adapted to meet your own personal requirements. The number one element in every training plan that will lead to either failure or success is easy...it's you. Believe in yourself, be dedicated and smart and you'll make all the gains you're looking for.

Most Effective Exercises for Building Leg Muscles

In order to get the kind of muscle mass results you are looking for you are going to have to lift rigorously, several times a week. Because it is likely that you will break your routine into upper body and lower body, we have separated our articles the same way.

The following exercises can all be done together and are great for adding muscle mass to your legs.

Deadlift

deadlift

Positioning - Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. The weights should be resting on the ground with the bar crossing over the balls of your feet. Squat down, keeping your eyes forward and your back straight. Grasp the bar just slightly wider than your feet.

The Lift - Keeping your back rigid and arms straight and unbent, raise the bar by extending the knees and hips. The power from this exercise should come from your legs not from your back. Bending your back can lead to herniated discs. Once you have reached the upright position complete the lift by raising your shoulders.

Down Phase - With the same pacing and control you used to lift the bar, return it to the starting position by lowering your body from the knees and hips.

Squats

squats

Positioning - The bar should be should rest on the rack 3 inches lower than the top of the trapezius muscle. You should stand backed up to the bar. Feet should be slightly wider than shoulder width. Hands should be placed evenly on the bar.

Down Phase - Stand up into the bar, holding it steady across the trapezius. Slowly lower your body be bending at the knees and hips. You should always keep your eyes forward and your torso rigid. The tendency to look the direction you are moving can lead to falling, either forward or backward while lifting.

The Press - Once you have reached the bottom of your knee bend, extend your hips and knees and rise to the fully erect position. Exhale throughout this portion of the movement. Make sure that you maintain control of the bar as you reach the end of your motion.

Lunges

lunges

Positioning - Stand with one foot forward and the other back. The distance between the two should be a little longer than your natural stride. Make sure that the position of your front knee is directly above your front foot. In order to get great muscle mass gains you should have a dumbbell in each hand.

Down Phase - Slowly lower your rear knee to the floor by bending your front knee. Keep your Head up and your eyes forward. This will prevent leaning forward.

Recovery - Squeeze you buttocks tightly and rise by straightening both legs. Use your abdominals and lower back to maintain your upper body's position.

The Press - Using your heels as the pressure point (not the balls of your feet), extend your legs to the point just before they lock.

Down Phase - Lower the weight at a controlled pace until you are back to your original starting position.

Calf Raises

Positioning - This is done on a leg curl machine. Seated on the chair of the machine your legs go over the top padded bar. This bar should rest behind your knees. Your feet then tuck in behind a lower padded bar. This bar will cross in front of your ankles. Make sure that this pad is just above where your shin meets your foot. The higher that this pad is the shorter you are moving the weight, cheating yourself out muscle mass.

The Extension - Raise the bar by extending your leg in a kicking motion The lift should continue until your calves are parallel to the floor but not so far that you lock your knees.

Down Phase - Lower the weight at a controlled pace until your knees are again bent to the original 90 degree position.

Five Effective Exercises For Building Bigger Guns

The amount of lifting that is required for serious muscle mass requires a good schedule. As part of that schedule you’ll likely be breaking your routine up into sections. There just isn’t a way to work your entire body to exhaustion all in the same session. A good start is upper body and lower body. The upper body though can be broken down even more. Separating the upper body into chest in one session, and arms in another will allow you to get even bigger muscle mass gains.

The following are some of the best arm exercises for getting bigger and gaining serious muscle mass.

Bicep Curls

bicep curls
Positioning - This can be done many different ways, but one of the best is to use a curl bar. Sections of the bar are angled so that your hands rest at an angle. Simply by grabbing the bars outside grips, underhanded you know that you are in the right position. Your arms should be nearly extended with the bar resting against your thighs.

The Curl - Squeezing the muscle tightly bring the bar up to your chest. Make sure that your elbows remain in the same position throughout the entire curl. Do no let them move back and cheat you out of muscle mass gains.

The Down Phase - From its position at chest level return the bar to it’s starting spot by moving back on the same path that it traveled on the curl. Do not let it go down vertically. The resistance provided when you control the weight on the down phase can add significant muscle gains.

Tricep Extensions

Positioning - Place your knee on a flat bench. Your other foot should be flat on the ground and your body should be parallel to the bench and directly above it. Place the hand that is opposite the knee (i.e. right knee, left hand) flat on the bench. Use the other hand to grab the dumbbell from the ground, it should be on the side opposite of your foot. Lift the dumbbell so that your elbow is bent at 90° the upper portion of your arm is parallel to the ground.

The Extension - In a smooth motion extend the dumbbell back until your arm is straight. Squeezing your tricep from start to finish will help increase muscle mass.

The Down Phase - Make sure that your upper arm stays parallel to the floor by maintaining a steady pace for the weight. The controlled descent back to the 90° position will help with muscle gains as well.

Hammer Curls

Positioning - This exercise is done with dumbbells. With one in each hand, your arms should hang down at your sides. You palms should be facing in toward the center. This should leave the dumbbells parallel to each other.

The Curl - Squeezing the muscle tightly bring one dumbbell up to your shoulder by bending your elbow. Your elbows may move more than they did on the bicep cur but make sure you are lifting the weights not swinging them. Also do not cheat your muscle mass gains by using the down swing momentum of one hand to fuel the up swing momentum of the other. Pause between each motion and make sure you get the most out of your routine.

The Down Phase - From its position at shoulder level return the dumbbell to it’s starting spot by moving itback on the same path that it moved upwards. Do not let it go down vertically. The resistance provided when you control the weight on the down phase can add significant muscle gains. Throughout this motion, both up and down, the weight should stay in the same alignment, do not rotate or turn it through the motion.

Rope Pulldown

Positioning - This exercise is done on a cable machine, with a rope-handled attachment. Place your feet shoulder width apart and face the machine. The rope should be set so that when it is at rest your elbows can be tucked against your sides.

The Pulldown - Keeping your elbows pinned to your sides, grab the rope handles and pull down. The only movement should be the extension of your forearms downward. When you start the motion your hands should be next to each other. They should expand out increasing the angle of the rope handle throughout the downward motion. Make sure to keep your torso straight up and down. Do not lean over your hands, you will end up pushing down and cheating yourself out of muscle mass gains.

The Up Phase - The weight on the rope will return it to the starting position as quickly as you let it. Resisting the return is one of the ways to see improvement in your muscle growth. Most exercises for gaining mass are done with free weights but this exercises impact makes the machine a good bet.

French Curl

Positioning - This exercise uses a curl bar. Sections of the bar are angled so that your hands rest at an angle. Simply by grabbing the bars inside grips, overhanded you know that you are in the right position. Your arms should be nearly extended with the bar resting against your thighs. This can be done on a curl bench, or standing with your feet shoulder width apart.

The Curl - Squeezing the muscle tightly, bring the bar up to your chest. Make sure that your elbows remain tight against your sides throughout the entire curl. By keeping them in one spot you are targeting the muscles individually.

The Down Phase - From its position at chest level return the bar to it’s starting spot by moving back on the same arc that it followed upward. Do not let it go down vertically. The resistance provided when you control the weight on the down phase can add significant muscle gains.
