Weight Lifting Workouts That Work

If you are serious into weight lifting, then you would not want to waste your time, doing workouts that are not beneficial for your body. Often times people waste a lot of time in the gym, doing some unnecessary exercises and routines that have little or no effect to their body. That is why it is important to find weight lifting workouts that work.

In this article I will not be giving you an exact template of what exercises to do, but rather some tips and advice I usually give my other clients. These would involve some techniques and a little science.

The first advice I would give is to not stick to one particular workout. Just like farmers who do crop rotation to avoid their crops and their soil to get used to each other, the same principle applies to our body as well. Our body might get used to a certain routine and therefore adjust to it fully.

When your body has adjusted then you will see minimal gains to your muscles. It is important to shock your muscles from time to time, giving it that extra boost that will surely increase its mass and power.

Secondly, for beginners up to some more advance lifters, choosing a weight lifting workouts that work for them often involves a number of exercises with compound movements. These include some bench press, squats and dead lifts. Since these exercises target several part of your body, you are being more efficient. Some isolation exercises like the bicep curl only target your biceps and your forearms while doing the bench press targets your chest, arms, triceps, and even your biceps.

For more advanced lifters, this might not apply as some of them develop highly advanced workouts.

Finally, the most important concept for any weight lifting workout is to increase the resistance every time.

You must not lift the same weight or the same number of reps on each workout. Even if you just increase by 2.5 pounds or increase the number of reps by one, is beneficial for you. This is also related to what I said above about shocking your muscles. You must not make your muscles get used to the weight you are lifting.

There you go, if you adhere to the three tips I mentioned above then you will be able to design any weight lifting workout that you want and it will surely work for you one way or another.
