The Bodybuilding Routines Chronicles

By Emmanuel Palmer

From Greek gods to Hollywood action heroes, the symbol of ultimate strength and virility are muscles, muscles and more muscles. Don't just try to live up to seemingly impossible standards--do it. There are ways to build muscle fast and if you're up for it, this article is for you.

There are three equally important characteristics that make up effective bodybuilding routines: a strong workout program, a healthy diet and quality rest. Many try to score a great body just by lifting heavy weights; but all professional trainers know that it's the latter two that make a huge difference in the outcome of your training.

The first thing on our list is training. Every workout session should begin with sufficient warm-up and stretching. Doing so optimizes your body to perform its best and cushions it for the pain it will experience in the next hour or so. Start with lower loads but increase it at you develop your strength and endurance. Keep changing the drills and weights every so often to keep your body on its toes, so to speak.

All you need is a 60 to 90 minute workout done two to four times a week. You can achieve great results through split training-targeting specific muscle groups on certain days. This ensures maximum efficacy for each session. You can do something like this: Monday- chest and abdominal muscles; Wednesday- back and arm muscles; Saturday- upper and lower leg muscles. If you are trying to put on a bulkier frame, keeping cardiovascular training once a week is good enough for now.

When you train for half a week, take the other half to concentrate on getting as much quality rest as you are able. Exercising rips parts of your muscles and sleep serves to repair these tissues. The result: bigger muscles that can stand higher stress. Notice bodybuilders who take a break from their training. They come back bigger than when they had left. They aren't as firm as before but remember that when you are starting to build muscle mass, gaining weight is what you need to do before anything else. Do not neglect the easiest route to build muscle fast--sleep.

Eat a balanced diet. Because you need to gain as much weight as possible, get your calories from food rich in protein and carbohydrates. Lean meat, chicken and fish are good sources of healthy food. There are also muscle building supplements in the market that can help add to your required amount of calories and nutrients. Protein shakes also give an added boost in your workout by fueling your body to perform better.

Let's recap, what are the things you need to do? Study bodybuilding routines and find one that is best suited for your body. Always carve out a good number of hours for quality sleep. Eat plenty and eat right. Mix all these ingredients together and the end result is a great body any Greek god would be proud to own. - 17269
