The Best Muscle Building Workouts

By Wakelin Smith

The best muscle building can be done in the gym, or at home if you have the appropriate gym equipment. What is more important than where you work out, though, is determining the best muscle building program for your body type, so getting an expert opinion on this is always helpful. In general, though, the best muscle building programs will include drop sets, negatives, flexing and strip sets. Add to these as you see fit, but these should be the basics of your routine.

Dumbbells are used for performing drop sets. The best muscle building drop sets are those that use a heavy set of weights, and then with each repetition you should use a lighter and lighter set of dumbbells. This ensures that you can perform the greatest number of repetitions while pushing yourself past your limit in the most effective manner.

Negatives are the best muscle building technique to add strength to weak bench presses. Start out with the bench press bar high, and slowly bring it down towards your body. Negatives are bringing a weight toward you rather than pushing the weight away from your body, as is the case with most types of weight lifting.

Keeping your muscles pumped is important during your muscle building session, as you can well imagine. The best way to do this is with flexing. You should take care to do flexing between your weight lifting routines, so as to keep your muscles pumped, as well as building strength and keeping it.

Strip sets should always be done at the end of your weight lifting session. Stripping one or two plates from the set while you are performing your lifting routine will help you manage a larger number of repetitions with greater ease.

In summary, it certainly is possible to build muscle fast. So what are you waiting for? - 17268
