Gym memberships are comprised mainly by two very different groups of people: those who want to trim down, and those who want to bulk up. If you want to lose the excess pounds, you'll be put on a low-calorie and high-cardio program. To build bigger muscle however, you will go the opposite direction and increase calorie intake while undergoing a physically demanding weight training exercises aimed to get you that colossal physique.

Let us focus on muscle building for this particular article. You will need to gain a significant amount of muscle mass and one way to accomplish this is to perform high intensity training for 45 to 75 minutes. Relegate cardiovascular exercises to either once ever week or two. Make the most out of every session by taking only 90 second breaks in between sets.

You will notice there are many fancy equipment and new drills but really, it's the simple ones that usually get the job done. For example, your legs will still get the most benefits in squats. Alter the positioning of your legs and you can target specific areas of this muscle group. Incorporate calf raises and lunges for best results.

There are opposing views as to which are the most effective chest exercises one should use. The bench press is the perennial go-to for men who aspire to get that barrel chest. However, many people who do not exercise this still have amazing results which they have gotten from performing flyes and pullovers. There is no right or wrong answer. You do what you believe will benefit your body the best. The vital factor is challenging your body to go to the next level by increasing weights and varying angles and reps/sets.

Big arms are best serviced by bench dips and barbell curls. As you go further in your training, periodically add on to the weight load you are lifting. Wait and see the difference this will make. Your arms will feel the burn and even outside of training, expect soreness to set in. If they are still painful when you go back to the gym, do not exercise. Rest them instead.

Work your back muscles by doing pull ups and your shoulders with the military press. There are many more exercises you can use for these muscle groups but these count as among the most effective. Switch up the drills every two to six weeks for the most productivity. Again, you need to push your body consistently to get the most out of your weight training exercises.

For bodybuilding purposes, strong aerobic training is not advisable. That being said, make sure you do not neglect your cardiovascular training by engaging in light running or sports every so often. Your goal maybe to bulk up; but it shouldn?t be at the expense of your heart?s health.

And finally, give your weight training exercises a boost by performing your best every single time. Sure, you can rush through your drills in poor form and lackluster energy but expect corresponding results. Go into it strong. You will not only get to build bigger muscle - you will get the satisfaction of a job well done.
