Has your bodybuilding
program lost its powerful returns? How can you maximize your
work out to build more muscle mass? It starts with the current
intensity of your current work-out program. Once exercise becomes
dull and easy, changing the way you train is inevitable. Use
the following checklist to pump up the volume of your body building
regimen.
Stretch those muscles to warm
them up prior to working them.
Add more weight. When weight
lifting repetitions no longer fatigue the muscles more weights
are needed. Add weights in small increments: three pounds, five-pounds,
10-pound and so on. These weights are not limited to the barbell
and dumbbells either. Hand weights or even wearing a backpack
filled with heavy books may offer the type of intensity to your
strength training program. These alternative weights can work
to strengthen other muscles in your back and forearms. Remember,
more weights may call for fewer repetitions; however you may
gradually work up to 10 per set.
The objective of the front
lunge is to end up in a position where the front leg is bent
at a 90 degree angle with the thigh parallel to the ground and
the lowered leg vertical. With your legs shoulder-width apart
and hands braced on the hips, lift the right leg and take a
giant step forward into a lunge position The front leg should
be bent with the back leg straight. The knee of the front leg
should not exceed the area past your toes. In one complete motion,
return to the original standing position. Next, repeat the movement
with the left leg.
This exercise may be reversed
and completed by taking a step backward into the lunge position
because it works the muscles via another range of motion.
As with any training program,
medical expertise is recommended.
