The Most Effective Muscle Building Strategy

By Lance Farr

Getting comfortable at the gym can definitely take some time. People just starting out are often overwhelmed with so many machines and such to choose from. If this describes your situation, don't despair. With a few helpful tips, you'll be well on your way.

In the end, it comes down to your focus, dedication, and your desire to make a difference in your life. There's no magic formula that makes things happen automatically.

However, following a steady workout plan can go a very long way toward building your body proportionally in a way that brings great results. Let's look at the muscle groups that you'll need to work out.

First, there's the chest. This has always been the most important muscle group to me, even though others would disagree. I simply happen to believe that a strong chest will make working everything else easier.

In addition to the chest, bigger back muscles will provide an equal benefit to your overall appearance, making you look thicker on the whole. Pull-ups, one armed rows, and other exercises will do the job here.

Don't forget about working out your shoulders either. While some back and chest exercises may incorporate your shoulder muscles, you'll want to have a workout that's dedicated to your shoulders.

Next on the list is your arms. Don't assume that anything involving your arms will suffice, because some exercises target the biceps, while others target the triceps. Each group should have its own set of exercises.

Whether it be for appearance purposes, extra energy, or overall strength building, there are many reasons you'll want to work out your legs. Do some exercises like squats, dead lifts, calf raises, and more to achieve this.

Some people also want to sculpt their abdominal muscles, and end up doing sit-ups and crunches regularly. Feel free to do this if a flat stomach is on your list of priorities. - 29951
