subject: Full Bodybuilding Workout Routine Guide [print this page] Nowadays contemporary bodybuilding has grown to be very specialized and complex sport. However there are certain bodybuilding exercises which are very prevalent among most workout sessions. What usually causes the difference between the workout session of one bodybuilder and the workout session of another bodybuilder are the size of the weighs they are using and the intensity of there training. For the training to be effective you need to separate the whole workout session such that you train different body parts. Your body comprises of the following five parts as for as bodybuilding is concerned;
1. The Back
The most extensive muscle is the back and despite all this many body builders tend to ignore it when they are weight training. The back can be divided into the lower, the upper or the sides. There are two training techniques which are most effective in training the upper back i.e. seated pulley rows and lateral pull downs. When you want to train the lower back you need to perform the superman stretches. When it comes to training the sides you need to use chins and pull downs.
2. The Arms
The arms can be divided into three areas which are the biceps, the forearms and the triceps. When it comes to training the biceps you need to perform curls. What many bodybuilders are not aware of is that the triceps are the largest arm muscles. The ironical thing is that despite them being the largest arm muscles they are the least trained of all the three arm muscles. In order to train the triceps you should perform dips and triceps push downs. In order to train the fore arms you need to perform wrist curls regularly.
3. The Chest
When you properly develop the chest muscles it significantly improves your overall body physique. That is the major reason why many bodybuilders like to exercise the chest muscles. The chest is usually divided into two, the upper chest and the lower chest.
Bench presses are a very good form of exercising the chest muscles because they are able to workout both the upper chest and the lower chest at the same time. You need to vary in between performing flat bench presses, declined press work and inclined press work. If you properly coordinate all this routines you will be able to develop both the upper and the lower muscles at the same time. You should also use the fly routine in order to develop the chest muscles.
4. The Shoulders
These are by far the hardest muscles to train in bodybuilding. This is because the shoulder muscles are usually very rigid, however through undertaking shoulder shrugs and shoulder presses you will be able to remedy this situation.
5. The Legs
There are three sets of muscles in the legs, this are the calves, quadriceps and the hamstrings. Speed squats are used to build the quadriceps, leg curls are the best to build the hamstrings while calf raises are the best in building the calves.
