Build Muscle Tips For More Effective Bodybuilding

November 20th, 2009 by Ricardo d Argence

There are many helpful build muscle workout tips available in the internet. With so many out there, it is quite overwhelming to choose which of them is the right one for you.

I have recently been in that same situation. With the help of a very good friend who is a professional body building coach, I have found the perfect answer. I am now the proud owner of a body that is endowed with toned and rippling muscles.

I learned that beginners should use a build muscle workout that involves a total body work out three to four times a week. In case you don’t know, a full body workout is one where you work on each part of your body using muscle isolation.

Most of the time, I see people who work on just two or three body parts. They then end up looking like cartoon characters with large chests and thin chicken legs. Anyway, target all your body parts, which consist of shoulders, chest, forearms, abs, triceps, traps, calves, buttocks, hamstrings, biceps, laterals, and quads.

You don’t want to work out all of your muscles every day though. Alternate your sessions by working out your upper body one day then your lower body the next. This allows your muscles one full day to recover in between workouts.

Begin by performing 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise that you do. Take a 1 to 2 minute break between sets. If you are doing weights, don’t go too heavy too soon. And it would also be totally useless if you go for lightweights that do not challenge your muscles at all. If you feel like you are about to give up on the last 3 repetitions of your last set, then that is exactly the weight for that muscle group – for now.

If you feel like you are extra comfortable in weight lifting, then by all means, lift heavier. Just cut down on the repetitions, and add to the number of your sets. So instead of doing 3 sets of 10 reps, do 5 sets of 5 reps. It is very important to remember that you have to have 1-2 minutes rest in between. Carrying heavier weights is more effective in tearing up the muscles of your body, hence, promoting faster muscle build up.

After about 3 or 4 weeks, it is time to make your workout more intense. In fact, anytime it gets easy to do all of your reps, it is time to add more weight. Remember that you should feel some strain and pain. That means your muscles are tearing and your body will build them back bigger and stronger than before.

With the advice from my bodybuilding friend, I have had great success. I have also found a website that helped me out quite a bit when I started using their workout regime. It is one of the best I have seen and very effective at helping you build muscle. See the site here.
