Train to Gain Routine

April 28, 2009

This routine is specialized to help you gain muscular bodyweight for that bulk and power look.

Remember, build the muscle first and then worry about how it looks.

Most novices who jump into bodybuilding make this mistake. They start doing preacher curls, dumbbell flyes and all that nonsense without building any muscle first.

If you’re serious about bodybuilding, or you just want that power look – build the muscle first – worry about how you want to shape it later.

How do you build it? Compound exercises involving heavy weights. No secret there. Just good 0ld-fashioned hard work. That and that alone, builds muscle the natural way

Here’s a nice little program to help you do just that.

Train to Gain Routine

Monday
Squats 10 x 3
Dips 5 x Max
Chins 5 x Max

Wednesday
Bench Press 10 x 3
Overhead Press 5 x 5

Friday
Deadlift 10 x 3
Curls 5 x 5

Notes: This program focuses on the big powerlifts. They start the routine off and set the stage for muscle growth. If the three days or 10 sets is too much for you (everyone handles stress differently), drop down to two days per week, alternating each workout, dropping the sets down to five. 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.
