Effective Bodybuilding Routines

By Wakelin Smith


Any newbie who seeks to get into bodybuilding needs to understand that it is not a hit and miss affair. It requires the right determination to do effective bodybuilding routines. Together with the determination to carry out the right workout, the proper way of doing them will surely result in building muscle mass.

Every bodybuilder, whether a beginner or a professional, must keep in mind that results from weight training do not happen overnight. It needs the determination and patience to keep with a program that is designed to gain the muscle size and strength. It also helps a lot if he makes his weight training routine a priority. This means that right attitude helps in a successful weight training program.

Also, efficiency is important in an effective workout. Keeping this in mind, he must develop an efficient workout program that trains all the muscle groups as well as develop strength. To be able to do an efficient body workout, a weight lifter does not have to spend 3 hours a day in the gym to build muscle mass. In fact, that much time spent inside the gym while exerting the muscles will likely result in overtraining. Look at it this way, if a weight trainer keeps his weight training workouts under an hour and a half (or better yet, and hour) yet performs them 3 or 4 times a week then his body will get sufficient rest to grow his muscles bigger and stronger.

Here are some other reminders for proper bodybuilding routines. For one, keep it short. The ideal range is between 45 to 75 minutes maximum while 60 minutes is the best time spent for a single workout. A simple reason guides this duration. After 75 minutes, there is a drop in the levels of muscle building and fat burning hormones that the body produces. It will also prevent you from fast recovery.

Two, rest in between sets should be kept to a minimum and the ideal is 90 seconds or less. This does not only help the body perform a lot of work and still finish within the 75 minutes, but it also helps improve the cardiovascular system. Also, this kind of training stimulates growth hormones output the most.

Third, the sets should be between 8 - 15 repetitions for muscle mass gains and 15-25 repetitions for body sculpting purposes. There are many reasons for this range in reps.

It has been shown in studies that muscle building and fat burning occur more efficiently at these repetition ranges. Another reason is that since the body is doing so many repetitions, there is less probability of injury because the lifter will be using a weight that he can control. Also, Because the best blood pump to flow into the muscle cells are within these repetition ranges then this is important since along with the blood come nutrients that nourish the muscle cells and help them recover and rebuild bigger faster.

Lastly, a weight trainer ahs to keep his training varied and cycled. It is not wise to get stuck with the same routine because this results in zero muscle growth. Therefore, proper bodybuilding routines must possess four characteristics, namely; right duration, enough rest, proper reps, and variation.
