Building Muscle Tips -Squats, Dips, Bench, Military Press, Raises
By Dave Vower


Building Muscle Tips - A Wide Range Of Movement Is Better

So what are the best exercises anyway? You wanna get big biceps? Gonna do some bicep curls and get massive? Nope I don't think so. Now don't get me wrong, the bicep curl has it's place. But not in an exercise program designed to get you bigger fast.

OK, Let's stop and think. What's the best thing do to if your goal is to put on muscles quickly. Weight training. And the best exercises to do are the one's that do the job in the least amount of time! They're called comprehensive exercises. I see no good reason to do lots of smaller exercises when I can get the same (if not better) job done with fewer bigger movements.

So we've got about an hour to workout. (probably closer to 45 minutes) This includes, warm up, lifting exercises, and warm down before our body starts burning muscle for energy. We certainly DON'T want our body burning muscle fibers for energy. So keep it under an hour, keep it intense and get as much done as possible. So What exercises do I do?

The Best Exercise List

Building Muscle Tips #1. These are the only exercises you should do to to work out the most muscles in shortest amount of time. If you do these exercises, instead of the small exercises, you'll gain loads of muscle in very little time.

# Standing Free weight Squats

# Flat Bench

# Stiff Leg Deadlifts

# Standing Military Press

# Bent Over Rows

# Wide Grip Chin Ups (Bit Hard? Do Heavy Lat Pull Downs until you're stronger)

# Full Body Dips (if you can't do dips do Decline Dumbell Bench Press with your hands facing each other)

These last two exercises are optional because the other exercises are so comprehensive that you've already worked out your entire body! Do them if you've still got time and energy during your workouts.

Get 3 workouts done each week, and do squats in every one of them. You'll get the most out of doing squats because they're the biggest muscle group in your whole body. Work them out hard and you'll stimulate massive testosterone production!

On that note: WORK HARD. These exercises are POWERFUL. So don't mess with them. Do the exercises and do them with intensity. Lift between 5-7 reps, and do 3 sets each. Lift as much as you can and get someone to spot for you if you're not confident to start. But make sure you do the work yourself. No slacking!

The biggest secret nobody talks about in the bodybuilding community is that you must work out your body with HARD WORK RESISTANCE TRAINING if you want the best results. No wonder all those guys grunt and groan when they're working out! That's why it's called a "work" out.

Get Big


I was reading this artilce on how to gain muscle fast and it was on point! This is basically what I did to finally break past my skinny barrier. Take a look.

What's the Fastest Way to Gain Muscle?

By Ricardo d Argence


Muscle gain for some people is harder and may take longer than for others. A good fitness workout plan may not give you the desired strength. Countless frustrated people have looked far and wide to find the ideal fitness regimen to build muscle mass, strength and physical fitness. Having a good sensible diet and a good fitness workout is the fastest way for muscle gain and strength. A good diet will help the body move to build even more muscle tissue.

Strategies for Workouts. The biggest muscles in the body must be stimulated and trained for a properly anabolic environment to exist. Why? These muscles represent a large percentage of the human body's muscles mass, thus any activity intense enough to growthem would be very stressful for the rest of the body as well.

The amount of stress on the body is relative to the time and intensity on the biggest muscles in the human physique. It makes, in the whole body, a high anabolic place, because of the need for extensive growth and repair of muscle, this will equal a higher yield in training of the smaller muscle groups. All of this is because the body all works together and not as isolated parts.

H20 & Protein. You will need to eat enough protein and carbohydrates to help your body adapt to the stress of training. The majority of individuals discover that a diet which is high in protein but comparitively low in carbohydrates in preferable.

If you are training hard and taking in a good amount of protein it is almost impossible to drink too much water. Water serves two important purposes as the largest constituent of muscle, it helps to remove waste products from your system and to reduce the stress on the kidneys.

Water is essential in aiding the distribution of nutrients throughout your body, which enable the bathing of all tissues to their best capacity and guarantees the best possible health, which is key for positive gains. An environment with a low water intake will not achieve this.

Multi-vitamin and mineral supplements cannot be overlooked either, as the growth processes cannot proceed unless all factors necessary for growth are present, and these include vitamins and minerals, in addition to the necessary amino acids supplied from dietary protein, and other dietary constituents.

By getting the proper exercise and nutrition you can easily increase your size. You have to give your body the right fuel in order to gain the correct muscle mass.

Workout Music - Pitbull

Hey guys! So there's this rapper from Miami who has some good workout songs for us. You know Miami don't play, and Pitbull is known as "Mr. 305".

His style is reminecent of the old Miami bass sound; booty shaking and stuff. However, it is mixed in with some hardcore lyrics and crunkness. When I listen to his songs, it seems some of them have cardio potential while some are good for keeping up an intense weight session. You pick where you want to use it. All I know is that there's no way you can keep still while listening. I got to tell yall guys out there, don't dance in the gym club. Just bounce your head at the most.

The Anthem (featuring Lil Jon)
This one is a classic club beat and as the name implies, sounds like what would be the anthem for Miami's party culture. Sounds fun.



Move, Shake, Drop
What a beat! What a beat! I just heard this one.



Shake (feat. Pitbull)
The beat in this one is so violent.

Bojangles (Remix)

Ay Chico (Lengua Afuera)
Do you know Spanish? Don't worry the English in this song is just as explicit.
But the beat like usual can't be denied.




Hurry Up And Wait (Edited)
This song is a gangstrocity. The beat and lyrics get real fast-paced and rushed and if your working out then your in luck. You are working out. You are in luck.

Fitness Fatigues

Hey guys, here's a cool article that will prepare you for war. Not literal war... I'm a lover not a fighter.


The Bodybuilding War

Author: MassiveMass.com

Alright soldier I am your number one man when it comes to the
bodybuilding war! We are here for one thing and one thing only!
We have a goal and a lifestyle. Our mission is to gain serious
mass and build serious muscle while in the gym. We are going to
go in to this battle field prepared and come out freaking huge!

(Yes Sir!)

In the world war of bodybuilding our diet is our #1 weapon. Once
we loose this weapon in the battle we will fail on the battle
field. We need the ammo that supplies energy to our bodies to
perform our exercises in that dreaded battle field of the gym.
This ammo provides the correct nutrients that we need to
maintain that healthy lifestyle and to survive the war and
possibly declare victory of our goals.

Before we go to battle we need to be sure we pack a good amount
of supplies. You never know when you will hit the gym and you
forgot something. Once you forget, you can not go back. This is
survival of the game. You never know when you may need something
while your on the field. You need to be prepared for the worst!

Protein

Pack up a good source of protein, this is a major supply you
will need to survive the battle of bodybuilding. We need a lot
of it, you do not want to run out during the war period, and if
you do your muscles will be in trouble! If you forget and do not
pack enough protein your muscles will end up in critical
condition loosing muscle, loosing fat, and we need this to
contribute to our overall health of our tissues and organs. You
want to be sure to pack at least minimum 1 gram of protein per
pound of bodyweight per day that you expect to be on the battle
field. If you want to go HUGE, be sure you make this 1 gram and
a half per pound of bodyweight per day. Keep with good sources
of protein such as: meat, milk, and fish.

Carbohydrates

If your going in this war with just protein, you will not
survive! Pack up a lot of carbohydrates as this will be a big
part of our diet on the field. We need this fuel to keep us
going on the field. If we do not have the energy to get our jobs
done we will defiantly loose the fight!

We need complex carbohydrates in our diet pack. We need to pack
complex carbs that include fiber and starches. Pack your bags
with pasta, whole grain breads, potatoes, and whole grain rice.

Fats

That is right soldiers! Do not believe what they tell you, we
need fats in this war! This means a lot in our diet and will
give us the edge over the rest because most do not think fats
are a good thing.

Soldier if you are on our team, you will be sure to pack fats
and that is an order!

If you do not pack these fats, your body will not function
efficiently or correctly. They are a energy source our bodies
need to process correctly.

Even if the other team packs the fats, hopefully they will pack
the bad ones! We will be fortune enough to pack only the good
fats. We will be finding unsaturated fats found in olive oil or
flaxseed oil. The best way to find these out in the wild will be
finding ones that are liquid in room temperature.

This is a warning to all soldiers! Be sure to pack enough good
fats, we have word our enemy sells these bad fats on the battle
field. These Saturated fats can and will clog our arteries and
lead to major health problems. If we are going to survive this
war we do not need health problems!

These saturated fats will be identified as solids in room
temperature. They sometimes will be called animal lard or
butter, sometimes other names so be careful! This is a warning!

Fiber

Now that we are packing all of these good sources of nutrients
we need to be sure we have enough fiber in our bodybuilding
diets. Not only will these fibers will help flush our bodies of
impurities on a regular basis.

These fibers are also great at aiding us in weight loss.
Soldiers look for great sources of fiber on the field, they come
in mostly whole grain as well as seeds and nuts.

Fruit and Vegetables

Ok soldiers, I know your pack is getting heavy but this is the
last thing we need to pack. We need to retain water so pack a
moderate amount of fruits. These fruits will also supply us with
natural sugars that our body needs in moderations.

We will also last but not least be packing some essential
vitamins and nutrients our bodies need to operate us on the
battle field in the form of vegetables.

Soldiers our plan is to be balanced and nutritious on this
battle field, hopefully our enemy will not be as educated as we
are and will fail while we succeed victory! We need to consume a
majority of our protein and carbs in the morning. We will be
eating 5 to 6 small meals instead of 3 large mega meals daily.

Now that we are packed and ready! Lets go declare our win and
succeed at our goals!

(Yes Sir!)

Vegetable Muscle

They say you are what you eat, and usually that's true with bodybuilders. When you think of trying to the replenish your muscles the first thing that pops in your head is protein. Then after you think of protein you usually think of meat. However, is it possible to pack on that muscle mass being a vegetarian? This article below addresses this issue.



Vegetarian Bodybuilding: Can Vegetarians Be Bodybuilders by Mike Parker

Vegetarian bodybuilding has been in existence for a long time. Many bodybuilding greats have done it while being vegetarians. But not many are aware of the fact that vegetarians can be bodybuilders too.



Common people always associate bodybuilding with meat, meat products and meat proteins. Those big muscles need beef, lamb, chicken, pork and fish is what people generally think. So, the concept of vegetarian bodybuilding seems very remote to them.



Vegetarianism has been around for a long time. But it has taken off in a big way in the West only in the recent times. Only now, people are becoming aware of the fact that vegetarianism can be a way of life.



About 10 years ago I was in the UK. A doctor friend of mine from Portugal was amazed that I could live with out meat in my diet. He was sure that my family, all vegetarians were some kind of freaks. He just could not get around the fact meat and meat products were not essential for living.



So, imagine the amount of skepticism that would greet the concept of vegetarian bodybuilding. But contrary to mainstream belief vegetarian bodybuilders have long been there and have been very successful too. There are many myths to vegetarian bodybuilding. The first and foremost myth is that you simply can't replace the proteins available in meat.



The truth is plant proteins are just as effective. You can safely get all the protein you need through eggs, dairy products and legumes. Protein supplements like whey proteins concentrates will round off all you need for vegetarian bodybuilding.



Another myth is that certain nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin B12 is available only in meat. That's right but nutritional supplements with this nutrients added can effectively supply you what you require for vegetarian bodybuilding. Vegetarians can not grow muscles is another myth that's not true at all.



Protein supplements like whey and glutamine are great muscle food. Drinking a protein supplement shake immediately after an intense workout helps develop beautiful muscles even for vegetarians. Muscles are not dependant on meat products. It is the proteins they require. Plant and dairy proteins are as effective as meat proteins.



The other myths include vegetarians cannot be healthy. The truth is vegetarians are usually healthier than people who eat meat and meat products, which contain a lot of harmful fats that clog the arteries. Studies and medical research has proved this time and again. So, vegetarian bodybuilding is actually much more healthy way to grow muscles.



Vegetarian bodybuilding is healthy, effective and natural way to grow muscles
