Weight Lifting Programs"Find the workout program that is right for YOU!"Most, if not all, weight lifting programs do work. The trick is to find WHICH routine works best for you.
There are literally so many ways to skin a cat when it comes to building muscle. Since we are all different, it is your job to find the right program for you. How you decide which building muscle routine is worth trying is first-most dependant on where you are at physically. You may need to look at weight lifting programs, such as a 5X5 routine, for beginners or a very intense training protocol, like DC training, for advanced bodybuilders.
One of the principles I firmly believe in is progressive overload. Basically, in order for you to get stronger (and bigger) you need to gradually increase the stress you place on your body during your strength training program. When all is said and done, if you want to grow you need to slowly add volume and intensity to your weight lifting program while trying to avoid overtraining at all costs. Couple this with a proper weight lifting diet and sufficient rest and you may be well on your way to building muscle now. There are already so many weight lifting programs across the net already laid out for your use. The problem is, many trainees like to put a spin on already proven methods and add or subtract exercises to their own liking.
My question to those is this:
"Why change something that is proven to work
well for countless others?" If you are serious about getting stronger or more muscular, then my recommendation to you is this: Find yourself a good proven building muscle program and try it for month or two as it is meant to be done. Don't change any of the suggested layout. Follow the parameters of the program as best as you can.
Put some trust into your new found exercise routine and see it
through. Make yourself a workout journal to track your progress. Bring a small notebook to the gym with you and write down the exercises, weight, sets and reps you perform during your workout. Download a free printable workout log here. This will help keep you on track. If you notice that certain people that have been going to the gym for a while are still the same size as they were 3 years ago, these are usually the guys without a game plan and are still using the same weight, and probably poor diet, as they have used over the years. You're only going to grow if you force your muscles to grow.
Increasing your workload, over time,
will eventually lead to bigger muscles. Here are some workout programs I found useful:Weight lifting programs for beginners Bodybuilding for intermediates Doggcrapp training for advanced athletes WLC Program: The Weight Lifting Complete program
