Upper Body Building Workout
Written by ama on September 4, 2009Coming up with the right body building workout for your upper body is important. You must be able to know your limits and what you are able to do without hurting yourself. You must also know your body well enough to recognize when you can push yourself that extra bit to reach new limits in your workout.
There are several muscles that you will want to consider when you are working out your upper body. These muscles are the biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest and back. You can switch up your routine from time to time since each muscle has several different exercises that can be done to work them out.
Make sure that you do not workout the same muscles two days in a row. Your muscles need a day to rest and repair. You can split up the areas that you workout if yu want. For example, one day you could work on your biceps and triceps, then the next day you could work on your back and chest.
When working out your chest, try doing an incline bench press, decline bench press, flat bench press and flat bench dumbbell flyes. There are a ton of other chest exercises as well, it is all about finding what you like best.
As you begin to look at a body building workout for your back, it is important you pay close attention to form. The smallest slip-up can have you out for weeks with a back injury. Some back workouts to consider include bent over rowing, lat machine pull downs, dead lifts, shrugs and hyper extensions.
Then the next day, when you satrt on your other muscle groups, you can do a seated dumbbell press, shrugs, side lateral raises and alternate front dumbbell raises for your shoulder muscles.
As for your biceps, you can obviously do standing barbell curls, alternate dumbbell curls, incline dumbbell curls and preacher curls. A preacher curl involves you lifting a barbell on a preacher bench.
Then we are left with the triceps. For this muscle area you may want to do some triceps bench dips, standing cable press downs, overhead rope extensions and one arm dumbbell extensions.
For each of the exercises mentioned in this article, you want to make sure you fully understand how to do them first. Poor form will not only prevent you from building muscle, but it can lead to injury.
