Should you be lifting heavy weights as fast as possible or light weights with a slow controlled tension if you want maximum muscle growth? In this video, I’m going to show you the best way to perform your reps if you want to build muscle and create muscle hypertrophy from your workouts. I’m going to break out the science and show you four examples head to head so you can make sure you don’t waste any more time in the gym using methods that are inferior.

There are many different ways that you can lift a weight. Often times, it doesn’t matter which exercise you perform since the principles apply to them all. The more important question you should be asking yourself is what your training goal is at the moment. For instance, if you are training for strength then your goal with every exercise should be to make it as efficient as possible. On a bench press for example, you would want to be sure that you are pressing the bar with good speed along an optimal bar path with all muscles contributing to the lift.

If on the other hand you were trying to use the bench press as a hypertrophy exercise for the chest in particular, you would want to find a way to lessen the contribution of the triceps and shoulders and more favorably press with the chest. In addition, you would want to make the movement more inefficient by spending more time on the negative of each rep as well as holding and squeezing the contraction of the pecs at the top of every rep as much as possible.

If instead you were trying to train for hypertrophy and muscle growth then you would want to apply this concept of movement inefficiency to every exercise you did. In this video, I use the lat pulldown taken to failure as an example exercise. Now, here is where you would want to squeeze your elbows down tight into your sides and back behind your body to maximally activate the lats. You would want to think less about using the forearms to curl the bar down towards you or your biceps to pull too much on every rep.

This would create as much tension as you could and direct it to the lats. In order to speed up the hypertrophy of a particular muscle, it is this focused tension that comes in handy to get the job done. That said, you wouldn’t discredit the value of simply taking your 10 rep max on the lift and just performing reps with a movement as a whole focus instead of directing your attention to any one muscle over the other.

This is where you would see the reps start out rather easy and peak at the highest difficulty level towards the final 2-3 reps. If you had opted to go with a slightly lighter weight however and made every single rep much more difficult by focusing tension into the lats and using intensifying techniques like slow negatives and paused reps, you would elicit a greater stimulus for hypertrophy versus just pure strength.

Check out the different variations shown here and see the different effect each has on your ability to build muscle and strength. When you are done watching and are ready to start performing a program where I lay out all the workouts, sets and reps you need to do to build muscle fast, head over to the link below and get the program best suited to your goals.

Arnold Schwarzenegger had 6 favorite exercises that he attributed the majority of his muscle growth and massive gains to. In this video, I’m going to show you these “golden six” exercises, as he referred to them, and give you alternatives where necessary in case you cannot perform these for some reason or that an alternative is a biomechanical improvement over the original.

We are blending old school effort and the training strategies of the classic bodybuilders with new school science of strength training to give you the best exercises for mass and the fastest way to build muscle naturally.

We start with the classic barbell bench press. Arnold did a variation of this popular chest exercise where you took an extra wide grip on the barbell. He felt that by taking a wider grip that he could better stimulate the pecs by minimizing the contribution of the triceps. As a result, his weights that he lifted here were a little bit on the lighter side but the overall pec activation was greater.

That said, this position can be quite difficult for anyone that has shoulder pain or rotator cuff issues. The modification would not be to stop bench pressing all together but to take a more narrow grip instead. Two things happen when you do. Firstly, the shoulder will have an easier time getting through the full range of motion without getting painful and secondly the more narrow position is a better position to press from. You will have a stronger bench press if you push from this modified grip rather than the wide.

Next up was the behind the neck shoulder press. I have been very vocal speaking out against the use of this exercise. Very few people have the shoulder mobility required to perform this exercise as Arnold did. That said, it isn’t even necessary since you can get all of the muscle mass benefits of the move by simply pressing the bar from the front. If you would like, you can also use a dumbbell shoulder press instead.

Arnold’s third favorite exercise for building muscle and making massive gains is the chin up. In fact, this amazing pulling exercise was done both as an overhand grip pull-up and an underhand grip chin up. Surprisingly, Arnold and Franco Columbu used to perform these as a bodyweight only exercise, knocking out 50 reps before starting their workout. I tend to think that there is a great potential to make back and biceps workout gains by weighting this exercise.

Throw a plate or two around your waist and start performing this as a lower rep exercise and new back and arm gains will await you.

The fourth exercise of Arnold Schwarzenegger for building huge biceps was the classic barbell curl. There is nothing better than an overloaded curl for getting huge arms. Here, if I was going to make a suggestion however I would say to not always use the momentum gained from using heavier weights and make sure to include some strict curls as well. My favorite way to perform them is with my back against the wall and then step away for some cheat curls after reaching failure.

The sixth exercise is a surprise to many, as it was a devoted ab exercise — the situp. There is nothing wrong with this movement for your spine health provided you do it safely. The two most important things you can do is remember to paint your spine down to the ground on every rep by posteriorly rotating your pelvis and not anchoring your feet under something when you do it if you have back pain. Anchoring your feet over something will instead engage the hamstrings which will take some of the load off of the psoas and the strain off the low back.

Performing weighted sit-ups will also help to bring down the overall volume of the exercise needed to create the overload required to stimulate change.

Finally, you can’t talk about the golden six exercises without mentioning the squat. Arnold believed that the squats were the king of all lower body exercises. Load them up heavy and use them to build massive legs. If you can’t perform them due to knee pain, be sure to try the other classic leg exercise done with a barbell, the reverse barbell lunge.

The bottom line is, if you want to build a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you would be best advised to stick to the favorite exercises of his that he credits all of his mass building to. Try these 6 muscle building exercises and see for yourself first hand. If you’re looking for a step by step program that builds these movements in over a 4 month program to help you build a massive chest, biceps, legs, back and more be sure to head to athleanx.com via the link below and check out the Old School Iron program.

The bench press is one of the most classic powerlifting lifts you can add to your chest workout. That said, it is one of the most complex simply because there are so many places in the lift that you can go wrong. In this video, I created a check list to give your helpful reference for each of the most important places in the lift that you will want to get right so you can increase your gains and keep your joints safe in the process.

As a physical therapist, one of my biggest concerns will always be the long term safety of a movement as well as the risk to reward ratio of performing the lift. In the case of the bench press, this is one of the most fundamental power moves that all athletes and novice lifters should master. There are plenty of things that can go wrong however, and the joints like the shoulders, wrists, elbows and even your back can become vulnerable if you don’t get it right.

The first thing you need to note is where you are going to be doing the bench press in the first place. Ideally, you’ll have access to a power rack that you can set up a bench in and have the appropriate pins in place to catch the bar should you fail. If doing it here, you will also want to put the clips on the ends of the bar for added safety. If you are training at home however, the clips might be best left off the bar just in case you get stuck under the bar and need a way to dump the weights to get out from under it.

Next the alignment of the bar in the rack and the bench on the bar is crucial to setting up a good lift. Simple enough, but make sure that everything is centered before laying back on the bench. Next look up at the bar and ensure that your eyes are at the same height as the bar itself. This will set you up for a good liftoff from the rack. Along the same lines, you want to be sure that your bar holders are not too high or too low. If you arms are fully extended as you reach up for the bar then you are set too high and will have no leverage when it comes to lifting the bar out of its resting position.

Next focus on the position of your feet and your chest before initiating the liftoff. Your feet need to be under your knees in order to be able to contract the glutes during the movement and add to your pushing power on the bench press. If they are too far out in front of you, much of your pushing power will be lost before you even begin.

Likewise your chest must be arched. This establishes a stable base of your shoulder blades pushing down and into the bench, which will act as a counterforce for the bar as you press it in the opposite direction. Lift the bar and tighten the abs as you lower it down to the chest. The bar path is crtiical. Make sure it is traveling down and forward and not just straight down. This will be more easily accomplished by keeping your elbows tucked closer to your sides, about 75 degrees away.

At the end of your set, fully straighten the elbows and then slowly allow the bar to travel backwards towards the catches. From here, lower the bar once it has engaged the rack and you’re done. A perfectly executed bench press set. Let the chest gains begin, and let the healthy shoulders and joints continue!

If you are looking for a complete training system that puts the science back in strength to help you get the most out of every lift while keeping the latest in sports medicine at the forefront of your workouts to ensure your gym longevity, head to athleanx.com and get your ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Cardio is one of the most common things people train in the gym. That said, there are many dumb forms of cardio workouts that you should avoid if you not only want to see your best results but stay safe when doing it. In this video, I cover the 5 worst forms of cardio and show you how to make each of them better.

Battle ropes are a new way to get in your conditioning and cardiovascular training, but only if you do them right. They aren’t called battle ropes for no reason. If you want to get the most out of this workout tool you are going to have to go to battle with the ropes. In other words, you need to attack the workout with a super high intensity level. It is ok if you wind up cutting down the amount of time you spend swinging the ropes if the trade off is that you are working harder. Work harder for a shorter period of time and you will see more efficient results from your workouts.

Treadmills, bikes and ellipticals are three common forms of cardio that get used every single day in the gym. Their popularity should not be confused with them being the best thing you can do however. In fact, the postural mistakes that are not only encouraged but somehow possible on these machines makes them a very poor alternative to the equivalent activity that you could be doing outside. Not just that, but nobody would ever argue that walking on a stair climber is somehow harder than walking real flights of stairs. Get outside and away from the machines and you will see a more effective carryover in your training.

Tabata is also a very popular form of cardio. The problem here is twofold. The exercise selection for using your Tabata as well as the fact that you need to train at a much higher intensity during your interval is key to the success as it was originally designed. The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of activity followed by 10 seconds of rest. You repeat this for a total of 8 rounds or 4 minutes. The key however is that your high activity levels must be near your max heart rate. If you choose an exercise that is either too easy or takes too long to ramp up and down from, you will be costing yourself the major benefit of the cardio protocol.

The same can be said for poorly designed HIIT training. If your idea of HIIT is that you perform a max effort lift with a conditioning exercise interspersed, you are going to wind up either hurting yourself or at the very least getting submaximal results for both of the goals you are training for. Instead, focus either on strength training or cardio but don’t try to do both in the same workout. Again, this is a very popular way to train these days but popularity does not mean safe or beneficial.

Finally, jogging is a very common form of cardio. The issue with jogging is that it is smack dab in the middle of sprinting and walking, and often takes on the worst traits of each. If you are overweight and in need of a good cardio workout, a slow long duration walk would be good for keeping it easy on your joints while still allowing enough time to burn sufficient calories at a lower energy output. Sprinting is a bit harder on the joints but can really ramp up the effort and get you a better workout faster. Jogging has the impact of running but is usually not long enough to sustain the benefits of the walking.

Whatever you are doing to get in your cardio, remember there are ways to train to burn fat that can be efficient and safe. The ATHLEAN-X Training Systems are designed to get you ripped without sacrificing either the health of your joints or your hard earned muscle. If you are looking to train like an athlete, you can get started today by choosing the program best suited to your goals on our site.

Всего 7 упражнений нужны мужчине, чтобы НАКАЧАТЬСЯ. Лучшие БАЗОВЫЕ упражнения для набора мышечной массы. Большинство людей ищут простое решение для быстрого и эффективного набора мышечной массы. Если говорить коротко… И я должен сказать, что нет ничего проще. Потому что, потратив много времени на набор мышечной массы натурально, я узнал, что есть ряд упражнений, которых следует полностью избегать. И другие упражнения, которые ты, возможно, захочешь выбрать. А есть упражнения, без которых просто не обойтись.

Original: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGGleRBn99Q
Макс Постернак

Я сократил список до семи самых важных упражнений. Которые обязательно должны быть основными в твоем плане тренировок, чтобы эффективно нарастить как можно больше мышц в кратчайшие сроки. Просто выполняя эти семь ключевых базовых упражнений, ты увидишь невероятные результаты, не делая больше ничего другого в зале.

И я подготовил это видео специально для мужчин не потому, что женщины не могут получить пользу от этих упражнений. А потому, что для мужчин в идеале больше подходит v-образная форма телосложения. Тогда как для женщин скорее нужна форма песочных часов. Так что, хотя многие из этих упражнений подходят как для мужчин, так и для женщин, это видео поможет тебе, прежде всего, построить наилучшее телосложение с наименьшим количеством упражнений.

Сперва давай начнем с очень важного упражнения для верхней части тела. Тяга штанги в наклоне. Этим упражнением ты будешь задействовать ромбовидные мышцы, которые сводят лопатки вместе. То есть мышцы верхней части спины. А также будут работать задние дельты и бицепсы. Это одно из самых важных тяговых упражнение, которое можешь делать. Не считая становую тягу. Потому что, задействуешь множество мышечных групп, отвечающих за тяги.

С помощью этого базового упражнения ты сможешь поднять намного больше веса, чем если будешь по отдельности изолировать любую из этих мышц. Укрепляя ромбовидные мышцы и заднюю дельту, ты усиливаешь верхнюю часть спины. Что поможет тебе выпрямится и расправится. И поддерживать правильную осанку. Из-за того, что ты поднимаешь большое отягощение, твои бицепсы также получат предостаточно стимуляции. Весом, который было бы буквально невозможно поднять в изолирующих упражнениях, таких как сгибание рук на бицепс.

Стандартная тяга выполняется с хватом штанги руками немного шире ширины плеч. Держи зад торчком и расправь грудь перед началом движение. Затем наклонись примерно на 60 градусов. Так чтобы быть чуть выше параллели пола. И тебе нужно, чтобы штанга свисала прямо вниз, без сгибания плеч. Удерживая грудь расправленной, потяни штангу к животу и ориентируясь на пупок. Затем опусти штангу в исходное положение, и продолжи выполнять, делая остальные повторения.

Самое замечательное в тяге то, что выполнять её можешь со штангой или с гантелями. Также, меняя углы наклона, ты можешь смещать акцент на разные участки своей спины. Полностью наклонившись, когда тянешь вес к груди под углом 90 градусов, будешь больше сфокусирован на широчайшие и середину спины. Однако в более вертикальном положении будет больше задействовать трапеции и верхнюю часть спины.

Давай перейдем к другому основному упражнению, которое тебе следует делать. Жим штанги или гантелей лежа. В то время как тяги помогут развить тыльную или заднюю часть верхней половины тела,
жим лежа поможет тебе построить лицевую или переднюю часть верха тела. Поможет развить твою грудь, передние дельты, а также трицепсы.

При выполнении жимов от груди, тебе следует проводить время, преимущественно в двух положениях. Горизонтальном и под наклоном. Если у тебя отстает верхняя часть груди, то тебе нужно проводить больше времени в жиме на наклонной скамье. Если верхняя часть грудных в порядке, а нижняя — не развита, то тебе следует затратить больше времени на горизонтальные жимы.

Причина, по которой я не упомянул жим на обратно-наклонной скамье, заключается в том, что с горизонтальным жимом ты получишь больше преимуществ для всей груди. В том числе для её нижней части. Чем от жима на скамье с обратным наклоном. И ты сможешь получить лучший памп, выполняя движение в полную амплитуду.

Чтобы выполнить базовый жим лежа, тебе нужно лечь прямо под штангу. Сними гриф и перенеси его на линию сосков. Если делаешь жим…

Как это бывает с любой другой частью тела, после достаточно длительной тренировки вы обнаруживаете, что некоторые участки пекторальных мышц развиваются лучше и быстрее других. Чтобы скорректировать эту диспропорцию, вам нужно изменить свою программу и включить туда больше упражнений для стимуляции «отстающих» мест.

Для проработки верхней части грудных мышц, Арнольд Шварцнеггер выполнянял жими на наклонной скамье со штангой, а также с гантелями с определенными особенностями.

Если отстает наружная или внутренняя часть грудных мышц, можно выполнять разводку гантелей лежа или же отжимания на брусьях, но также с учетом определенных особенностей.

Для нижней части грудных мышщ — можно выполнять жим лежа на наклонной скамье вниз головой.
