Body Building Guide To Build Big Triceps
Written by Christine on May 13, 2011 – 9:36 am -
The best exercise to build big triceps is do dips. Dips can be performed on parallel bars or, if you are really strong, gymnastics rings. Be sure to squeeze the bars tightly, brace your abs as if you were about to be punched and lower yourself no lower than the point where your triceps are parallel with the ground. Going lower than that puts too much stress on the shoulders and getting the extra stretch is not worth the risk of an injury.
Dips can be performed three times per week as a beginner. After a few months of that I don't think you will be confused about how to build big triceps anymore. When you get more advanced it is recommended to cut your dips down to twice per week. Although I used to love weighted dips and routinely had many of my clients perform them with numerous 45 pound plates strapped to their waists I have found, over the years, that there is simply too great a risk of injury with heavy weighted dips and now do not allow anyone in my gym to do dips with more than just one 45 pound plate. Anything beyond that seems to get too risky.
For intermediate lifters you could do one day heavy, where you add resistance to your weight belt, and one day light where you simply rep out with bodyweight. The two days should be about 72 hours apart. Once you get strong enough to do a 45 pound plate you will probably only want to use weighted dips as a rep exercise and not a heavy strength movement anymore.
To make dips more difficult without adding more weight, try doing them on gymnastics rings or on straps. You can also try holding your legs straight out directly in front of you as well. Either option will be very challenging and are great muscle builders.
Aside from dips, the next best muscle building exercise for the triceps is a reduced range of motion close grip bench press or some variation of it. The top half of the bench press really focuses the stress on the triceps which is why you want to limit the range when training simply to increase the size of your arms. To do this you can set pins in a power rack or have a partner hold a few two by fours on your chest. These are called board presses. Three, four and five boar presses are awesome for building huge triceps and should be incorporated into your routine on a regular basis. When you get too strong to go heavy on dips without risking a shoulder injury, make board presses your heavy triceps movement and dips your light triceps movement. Keep pushing up the weight and reps and pretty soon people will be asking you about how to build big triceps like yours.

Quick Tips To Gain Body Building Muscle
Written by Christine on April 4, 2011 – 4:37 am -
Do you look at guys with body building muscle and wish you could look like that too? Some guys get picked on for being too skinny and not having any muscle. Others are ridiculed for being too fat and not having any body building muscle at all. If you're one of those guys who need some quick body building muscle tips then read on. These tips might help you get into that "perfect" shape like you've always wanted to.
Calorie Requirements
Before we go anywhere with body building muscle, you have to analyze your food and your eating habits. You've got to work out your daily calorie requirements and then pile on the protein rather than the fats and the carbs. Remember one thing, you need to put "mass" onto your body so you've got to eat right to make sure when you put on weight, it's body building muscle not fat!
Weight Lifting
No matter what your current body shape, if you want body building muscle, you've got to lift heavy weights. I know most guys love lifting heavy weights, but there are some that seem to think lifting light weights will also get you there albeit, slower. Truth is, if you want body building muscle quick, you need to do the heavy weight lifting and do at least 6 to 12 reps for it to have some effect. Also, just a tip to keep in mind: free weights are always better for body building muscle than machines that "help" you lift the weight.
Don't Over Train
Lifting heavy weights is essential, but you don't need to hit the gym every day. If you're interested in body building muscle, you need to work out smart. Sure the heavy weights are important, but it's also important to work out smart. Don't overdo your training; hit the weights only three or four times a week - any more, and you won't be giving your muscles a chance to recover from the stress.
Also, some of the old school rules are the best; so if you've been told to work out each body part with great intensity, at least once weeks - then you've been told right. It's a great tip for those interested in body building muscle.
Protein & Supplements
If you're seriously getting into body building muscle, you need to start supplementing your diet. If you don't know what sort of supplements you need, consult an expert. Don't just start taking anything and everything, randomly. Things you might want to consider are creatine (a great body building muscle supplement), meal replacement powders, whey proteins etc.
Take Time Off
Body building muscle requires serious dedication, much like the dedication most footballers (or any sports player) would put into their game. If you're serious about it, you will start getting into a discipline yourself. However, we don't want our lives to become boring and only about body building muscle do we? That's why...remember to give yourself days off from training, and even days off from your strict diet. With your diet, you can either take one day off every week or take a whole week off every 12 weeks - whichever suits you better.
If you're interested in body building muscle, keep up the dedication and get into the discipline and you'll soon have results.

The 1 Exercises That Is The Quickest Way To Gain Muscle
Written by ama on February 13, 2011 – 8:44 pm -
If you’re looking for the quickest way to gain muscle and look no further than the Deadlift exercise. Sure this exercise is nothing new but then again some of the best things are always the most basic and that still applies when comparing to the Deadlift.
The Deadlift should be a staple in every way training workout by a person who is trying to gain muscle faster. It is being used more often by competitive bodybuilders but it should also be used by the regular guy looking to gain muscle quick.
Let us go through some of the fundamental reasons why the Deadlift is such a powerful mass builder and hopefully if you are not already a fan of the Deadlift, maybe after this article you will be.
Why the Deadlift?
The Deadlift is one of the most powerful mass building exercise simply because it recruits the most muscle fibre at once. The quickest way to gain muscle is to recruit the most muscle fibre in the minimum amount of time using the heaviest amount of weight. Guess what? The Deadlift accomplishes all of these three things at the same time. Now that is powerful am I right?
Starting with the lower portion:
The Deadlift can be broken into different parts and the first part we will discuss is the lower portion of the Deadlift movement.
When you have the bar set on the ground and you begin your lift the majority of the stress will be placed on your hamstrings, quads and calves.
Those muscles are useful to begin in the exercise in the first phase of the movement.
The midrange movement:
At the midpoint range of movement your lower back will kick in as well as your upper back to maintain stability and to work on maintaining your posture.
There are also many other stabilizer muscles at work to keep your body in a safe position and to keep the bar moving upward.
The final phase:
During the final phase of the movement everyone of your muscle fibers will be on fire and working to achieve that final upright posture with the bar in its final place.
Just in case you didn’t notice, your arms are working all this time holding the bar as well as your forearms, your traps, your core to stabilize your lower back muscles and even to a lesser degree your chest.
You should be able to see why the Deadlift is extremely powerful head hitting every major muscle group and then some.
Now that you know who the Deadlift is the quickest way to gain muscle start by including it at the beginning of your workout as your first exercise when you can give it the most attention and you should start see much better results in the future.
Only do the regular amount of sets for the deadlift and no more.
Typically 3 to 4 sets will suffice.
