Explosive Power Workout

This is a routine that can develop explosive quickness and power as well as make your body bigger.

The most important benefits of weight training should be to gain strength and health. Every young (and some not so young) lifter wants size so they look good, but actually feeling good and being strong are much more worthwhile goals to shoot for than having a bulging bicep.

Believe me, with strength, size will come eventually. The Iron Game is one were hard work, intensity and patience are of paramount importance to overall success.

The ones who aren’t patient and don’t want to work hard, go for the shortcuts. The drugs, chemicals and body enhancements that appeal to nothing but vanity. The drug-created bodybuilder is one of the most unhealthy individuals on the planet. Simply because he/she is willing to put junk into their bodies just to have a big muscles.

Training naturally, working hard for the purpose of gaining health and strength is the way to go. To paraphrase Arthur Jones, “if you can eventually curl 250 pounds on a barbell, don’t you think you’re arms would be more than big enough to handle anything, including wrestling bears?

The most important thing is strength and the way to build that is by using major compound exercises that work the major muscle groups. Add to that proper nutrition with reasonable rest between workouts and you have a recipe that practically guarantees success.

Overhead Press
Squats
Bench Press
Hang Cleans
Push Press
Pulldowns
Ab Work

Notes: Train 2-3 days per week 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.
