The first and most important thing to remember when considering how to get big calves is to complete a full range of motion for every rep. A full range of motion means starting with the calves completely stretched to their capacity and then contracting your calves to the maximum point finishing the rep on your toes. The calves are notoriously difficult muscles for most people to build so in this article I will give some tips on how to get big calves that you can immediately start to incorporate into your next calf workout.

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.

Build a Big Thick Inner Chest

When I first started training I asked a few of the biggest bodybuilders in my gym how to build a big thick inner chest and was surprised what they told me. They said to build a big inner chest is the most difficult part of the chest to build but this I already knew but what shocked me was what exercises they recommended I perform at the beginning of my chest workout on not all my chest workouts but on every second chest workout. They said if I perform the same exercises for my inner chest every time I workout I will stop growing and therefore suggested I do the regular heavy and well known bench presses and dumbbell presses one week and on the following week I should perform the best exercises to build a big thick inner chest.

Although there are limits to how many sets you should perform to build muscle and avoid the pitfalls of overtraining.

How to Get a Big Wide Muscular Back

Of course most bodybuilders want to build a thick back but I thought I would write an article on how to get a big wide muscular back without mentioning the usual thickness exercises like deadlifts and bent over rows. To get a big wide muscular back you need to concentrate of a number of different movements that specifically target the upper and outer latimus dorsi commonly called the lats. Back training along with leg training is probably the highest intensity and physically demanding of all the necessary workouts for each particular muscle group. The good news is that there are quite a lot of different back exercises to choose from so you can have a slightly different back workout each week and avoid getting bored with the same routines.

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.

Barbell and Dumbbell only Training Routine

admin — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 02:15:30 +0000

Since not everyone has access to a gym or a range of weight training equipment I have put together a barbell and dumbbell only training routine that you can do at home. The only thing you will need other than a barbell with weights and two dumbbells is a flat bench. If you don’t have a flat bench you could use a wooden box of something similar that won’t break when you lay on it while holding weights.
