Full Body Training Routines

You can use full body training routines to train all your muscle groups in just one workout to build muscle mass or you can use full body training routines if you have missed some scheduled workouts and simply want to flush all your muscles with some fresh blood and avoid losing muscle. Although I do not think full body training in a single workout is the best way to gain a significant amount of muscle over the long term, performing a full body workout once per month is a great way to shock your muscles and help to stimulate new muscle growth.

Training and Isolating the Side Deltoids

There are a number of exercises for training the side deltoids but many of these exercises also train the front deltoids and triceps as well. However, there are only a handful of ways that are effective for isolating the side deltoids and building thickness in the shoulders. Generally training the side deltoids is what I do at the beginning of my shoulder workout but isolating the side deltoids is how I finish training my shoulders on any given deltoid workout.

Get Big Huge Legs with High Reps

One of the fastest ways to get big huge legs is with high reps. The main reason why a lot of bodybuilders and weight trainers don’t often use high reps to grow big legs is simply because it hurts. High reps leg training is one of the most high intensity workouts you will ever have and takes a lot of mental discipline due to the immense pain barrier you need to go through to perform the set.

4 Days per Week Bodybuilding Training

As a bodybuilder there is nothing to say you should train a certain amount of times per week to achieve the maximum amount of muscle growth since that all depends on the individual and what works for one person might not work for someone else. The following 4 days per week bodybuilding training routine is one of a number of successful training routines I use to both maintain and add more muscle mass.

Build Big Thick Biceps with Back Training

Although using regular bicep exercises like barbell curls and dumbbell curls will definitely lead to big arm development, you can also build big thick biceps with back training. It is no secret that heavy back training leads to big biceps since you use your biceps significantly every time you perform any number of different back exercises. If you only train each body part once per week like I do remember you are hitting your biceps a second time every time you train your back.

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. When I first began bodybuilding back in the 1980’s I remember some of the older and more experienced bodybuilders performing these weird sets where they stopped still during a repetition and tried not to move while fighting against the resistance of the weights. I was curious to find out what they were doing and hopefully find another way to build more muscle mass on my own physique.

Build Outer Quads

To build outer quads you need to focus on certain exercises that target the sweep part of your legs. Building outer quadriceps takes a lot of hard work and consistency in the gym but if you put in the effort the reward of huge outer quads is well worth it. It’s easy to do exercises like leg extensions but they will tend to build the tear drop part of your quads but will not really do much to build outer quads.

Pre Exhaustion Training

Pre exhaustion training is done when specifically targeting the bigger muscle groups like training your chest for example. If you want to achieve maximum muscle growth out of your chest muscles, pre-exhaustion training is an effective technique you can employ to stimulate tremendous new muscular growth. Pre-exhaustion training is not ideal for the beginner bodybuilder or weight trainer as it is a super high intensity form of training.
