Muscle Building Programs to Help Build Muscle

You have decided that you want to look better naked–for your wife, girlfriend, or even for yourself.  You have begun the process by starting to maintain a healthy diet, and you are beginning to lose weight.  Now, it is time for you to tone up those muscles and start looking HOT!  Here are some exercise routines that have been designed with muscle building in mind.

This exercise routine is a favorite of NFL player Brad Quinn, and does more than just build strength.  With this muscle building routine, you will also strengthen your athletic ability, raise your metabolism, and protect your joints and other areas prone to injury, while gaining power that will make any woman drool over you.

Enough talk, let us get to the workout routine.  First, you will start with something called calisthenics, which are core exercises, to help prevent injury.  For most effective results, alternate parts of the body that you will focus on each time you work out during the week.

The first exercise is your standard benchpress.  Only take as much weight as you can handle.

 The second exercise requires the use of a medium sized ball.  Lie flat, arms out from your shoulders like a T.  Place your feet on the ball, bending your knees at about a 45 degree angle.  Lift up your body, while leaving your shoulders on the ground, and straighten your legs, pushing the ball.  Bring it back to you. 

The third exercise requires you take the barbell weight, place it on front of you, resting it on your shoulders arching your arms backward to hold it.  Stand with feet shoulder width apart, and squat up and down while you hold on to the weight.

Next, comes pull ups.  Simple enough, right?  Find a bar, hold on to it, and pull yourself up repeatedly.

 Now, holding the barbell the same way you did before in the third exercise, except with the barbell behind your neck, place a foot on a bench (behind you) with your knee bent at a 90 degree angle and squat up and down.

Start the exercise with four sets of three reps, resting 45 seconds between sets.  Using a weight that is half as heavy as you can lift once otherwise known as 50 percent of your one-repetition maximum, start  lowering the weight in 1 second, take a brief pause, and then lift the weight fast as you can.  Now move on to three sets of eight reps, quickly lifting as much weight as you can handle without losing your perfect technique.  For more tips and tricks, check out Men’s Health magazine online.

A good muscle building workout routine is key for anyone who wants to maintain a killer body, and stay healthy while looking good.  What’s stopping you now?
