A Great Muscle Building Workout

Are your ready to gain an immense amount of muscle in just months? Well, it is obtainable, but will require you to put some effort and time into your workouts. I have performed the following muscle building workouts and I have gone from skinny and puny to thick and ripped. Find out how below.

First, you must stretch each muscle before you work it out. This is necessary because it will allow your muscles to grow faster and leaner. Also, get your heart rate pumping before you go into your workout. Complete a 5-10 minute run before your workout.

You will be on a 6 day a week schedule. You will complete each workout twice a week.

Day 1: Legs and Biceps (all will be 10 reps and 4 sets)
· Squats, Standing Calf Raises, Seated Calf Raises, Leg Press
· Dumbbell Curls, Preacher Curls, Rope Cable Hammer Curls

Day 2: Chest and Triceps (all will be 10 reps and 4 sets)
· Dips (Straight), Seated Overhead Triceps Extensions, Rope Cable Press-Downs
· Flat Bench Press, Incline Dumbbell Press , Incline Dumbbell Flyes , Decline Dumbbell Press

Day 3: Shoulders and Back ( all will be 10 reps and 4 sets)
· Pull-Ups (use the weighted pull-up machine if needed), Seated Rows, Bent Barbell Rows
· Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press, Lateral Raises, Front Dumbbell Raises, Upright Rows

After you have completed your 3rd day workout, on the 4th day start over with day 1’s workout. Thus on day 4 you should be completing biceps and legs workout. Note that if you are not already working out, then the reps and sets might be a little high for you. You can do 1 of 2 things. First, you may complete the 10 reps and 4 sets at very low weights. Or you may lower the reps and sets until your muscle strength is high and you can perform the high reps and sets.
The muscle build up will take some time so be patient. Try not to miss any days. Also, on the 7th day, make sure you take the day off and get some rest. Put in the effort and you will get a great body! Also be sure to check out this alternative muscle building workout.

The Brad Pitt Troy Workout

The famous actor has pride in his body and workouts, and it definitely shows. The workouts that Brad Pitt has performed are highly intense and physically demanding on your body. If you attempt the following workout, please work your way up to the sets and reps if you are a beginner. Be patient as it will take time for your muscles to get use to the workout. Follow this workout and you too will have a body like Brad Pitt.

First off, stretch out each muscle before you work it out. Also get your blood moving and your heart beating by completing a small run before you workout.

Day 1:

Work out your chest muscles and triceps. In between each set, give yourself only a 45 second break. Also, never go do in weight. Always keep the same amount of weight, or up the weight.

Chest (10 reps; 4sets): Bench Press, Incline Press, Decline Bench Press, Dumbbell Flyes

Triceps (10 reps; 4 sets): Cable Pull Down (Triangle Bar), Cable Pull Down (Rope), Cable Pull Down (Straight Bar), Overhead Dumbbell Press

Day 2:

After day 1 your muscles should feel sore. This is common and make sure you stretch out your triceps and chest. For this workout, stretch out your legs and biceps. First, workout your biceps, then complete a 10 minute run and perform the leg workout.

Biceps (10 reps; 4 sets): Preacher Curl, Dumbbell Curl, Sit Down Curl, Cable Curl (Straight Bar)

Day 3:

If you are too sore to perform another day of workout, just take the day off and try out this workout on day 4. Remember to stretch out all your muscles.

Back (15 reps; 3 sets): Lat Pull Downs, Dumbbell Back Raises

Shoulders (15 reps; 3 sets): Shrugs, Cable Lifts, Dumbbell Side Rises

Day 4:

Repeat Day 1. Do the same exact reps and sets, if you want to change up a certain exercise, feel free to do so. Remember to keep the 45 second rest interval.

Day 5:

Repeat day 2. Do the same exact reps and sets, if you want to change up a certain exercise, feel free to do so. Remember to keep the 45 second rest interval.

Day 6:

Repeat day 3. Do the same exact reps and sets, if you want to change up a certain exercise, feel free to do so. Remember to keep the 45 second rest interval.

On day 7 you should get some rest. Try lifting nothing on this day. Once you get into the routine things will be a lot smoother and easier. You will see an increase in muscle growth if you keep up with this program.
