Bulk Me Up Routine

September 2, 2009

It seems that one problem, or question, is uppermost in the minds of many young trainees. The question is, “How can I gain weight or bulk?”

Actually, the answer is not very hard. It’s just ignored because it involves the use of heavy weights and lots of hard work.

The key exercise in the bulking routine is, of course, the squat.

The squat, along with power exercises like the deadlift and bench press must be part of any bulking program.

Along with the proper program, the other important element is food.

To gain bulk, eat lots (unless you’re overweight to begin with) of meats, eggs, fish, poultry, peanut butter, whole wheat grains, and fruits and vegetables. If you can handle it, add milk to your diet as well. Milk was a staple of the old-timers’ bulking plans.

Follow both parts of the formula and you’ll see the results of your bulking efforts in no time at all.

Remember: You must constantly strive to lift the max poundage you’re capable of, without cheating. Progressive resistance is the name of the game in weight training.

Bulk Me Up Routine

Breathing Squats 1 x 20
Deadlift 2 x 10-15
Bent Over Row 3 x 10
Bench Press 3 x 10
Overhead Press 3 x 10
Curls 2 x 10

Notes: Workout three days per week and as always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

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.
