| 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. |
