Classic Bodybuilding Workout III

December 29, 2006

Here’s are third and final classic bodybuilding workout. This program is designed to be worked 2-3 days per week using a total body workout both days – just like the old-timers did it.

Bodybuilding, the art of creating well-defined sculpted muscles, is the real reason many start training in the first place.

Even though weight training improves strength, stamina, performance, bone density and health – many young kids jump into for one reason and one reason only – big, well-defined muscles. In particular, huge, bulging biceps.

All of us have some vain part of our psyche that want to impress the opposite sex and one way to do that is by developing a rock hard, muscular body.

This routine will do that, as well as build strength, make you healthier and increase your abilities in whatever activity you choose. Of course, it takes patience and hard work. If your expecting big muscles in six week, you need to check out of planet Earth and join an new reality somewhere else.

Only persistent, dedicated hard work will build a muscular body. You must have the right mental attitude when working out and drive yourself hard through dedication and some real rough training. Nothing else will produce results – nothing.

Pullovers
Calf Raises
Bench Press
Chins

Notes: Train consistently and use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with. It could be one or two sets to failure, 5 x 5, singles, doubles, triples – anything you want, so long as you’re consistent and work hard. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

Gymnastics Workout Program

December 26, 2006

Some of the finest and fittest muscle building luminaries were originally top class gymnasts.

Power is especially important i.e., the ability to exert muscular force with speed. Endurance is another factor, plus dynamic flexibility. Balance, timing and coordination are also essential qualities, Olympic gymnasts emphasize sheer hard work is the key.

In season training with weights should never be more than twice a week. Obviously, emphasis and energy must be devoted to gymnastic training itself. So routines must be brief and basic.

This routine is for anyone, at any level, who’s involved in gymnastics and wants to get better, stronger and faster. As always, this routine can be used by anyone – you don’t have to be a gymnast to benefit from it.

Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2006

Today is not a day to be doing any workouts, so drop those weights and go spend time with family and friends on this great holiday.

Christmas is a time to be with loved ones and to give thanks for all the good things that have happened in your life in 2006.

Believe me, even if you think 2006 was bad to you, you’re still better off than most. Many in the third world don’t even have any food to eat or a place to call their own.

Give thanks for your family, friends and all that you have. Merry Christmas to everyone and a very happy new year as well.
