3 Days per Week Weight Training

Whether you are a beginner to weight training or a veteran bodybuilder 3 days per week weight training allows you to train each and every body part without suffering from the symptoms of overtraining. When I first started bodybuilding 20 years ago I would train almost every day, train every muscle group at least twice per week and sometimes my workouts would last for over 3 hours. Wow, how things have changed all these years later. Now days I am as big as I have ever been and train less than half as much, rarely ever do I get an injury anymore and love training even more at 37 than I did when I was 17.

Build Muscle Mass with Iso Tension

One very effective way to build muscle mass is with iso tension. Iso tension has been used for decades by bodybuilders especially, to build muscle mass while they are performing their regular workout routines.

I was curious to find out what they were doing and hopefully find another way to build more muscle mass on my own physique.

Upper Chest Exercises

There are a number of upper chest exercises available to a strength trainer and in this article I will explore the upper chest exercises that will stimulate the most growth. The majority of upper chest exercises will be performed on an incline bench which provides the correct angle for resistance specifically on the upper chest, as opposed to using a flat bench which applies the most resistance on the lower chest muscles. The upper chest is usually the most difficult part of the chest to grow so when you see someone with a developed upper chest it looks very impressive since very few people seem to be able to grow the upper chest to the same degree as the lower chest.
