Chest 101 #3




BODYBYDOUG-

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com






   As you can see the guy on the right is sporting quite the chest development.

 That is some set of man boobs, but we all don't have the genetics for that, or we don't have the time or the age advantage. 

Whatever your age or your time restrictions though we can all improve muscle growth and body-image by getting into the weight room and pumping the tar out of the chest.

 I think I've mentioned this before and if not a lot of people have--but chest day is for most lifters the best day of the week.


     For the last in this series we're going to up the reps for some definition, and we're going to look at one of my favorite things to do and that's the pre-exhaust.


 Spoken of mainly for the chest I like to look and see if there's anywhere else I can incorporate the pre-exhaust into some other body part. 

The purpose of the pre-exhaust it two fold--1-to exhaust the muscle and then push it beyond what you think your capable of and the second is to try to exhaust a smaller muscle group helping in the particular lift you are doing so only the chest muscles on the second set is doing the work.

 Give it a shot and see what happens.

 The pre-haust is not an every workout move, so use it sparingly and be safe and have fun.



Defining the Muscle-


Multi-Angle DB Press--- 3 sets@ 18 reps-move the angle of the bench ever 6 reps


Multi-Angle Bar Press---3 sets@ 18 reps-move the angle of the bench ever 6 reps


Tri-Set-

Incline Fly---4 sets@ 12 reps


DB Pullover---2 sets@ 12 reps

Push-Ups---2 sets@ 15 to 30 reps





Pre-Exhaust-


Incline Fly---3 sets@ 15, 12, and 8 reps


Incline Barbell Press---3 sets@ 8, 12, and 15 reps- reversing the reps means heavy weight first


Machine Fly---3 sets@ 12 reps


superset with


Seated Chest Press---3 sets@ 8, 10, and 12 reps


Push-Ups---3 sets---15 to 30 reps

Triceps 101 #4

Tricep Horseshoes

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com



     As we move into the third installment in this series on triceps, we look at ways of forcing tricep muscles to grow.

 Arms are some of the easiest muscle on the body to make them pop, but occasionally they stall out.

 Tricep's are notorious at this and need a little boost now and again.

 Don't be afraid to shock them into reality once and a while.

 With the switching it up routine we have the 4 steps forward which in and of itself is a bit of a shocker, so with these two routines you should see continued muscle growth, for sleeve busting arms. 



     With your arms, both tricep and bicep,  sporting some heavy duty muscle, the body-image portrayed will read-don't mess with me I lift weights. 

OK  just a little humor-let's all get along??? Become the machine you need to be to get through your day.

  

Switching it Up-


Skullcrusher---4 sets@ 15,10,8, and 5 reps

Standing Overhead Rope Extensions---4 sets@ 6,8,10, and 12 reps

Dips---3 sets@ 10 reps

superset with

Close Grip Push-Up---3 sets to failure---hard to do if your heavy-do them on your knees until your stronger enough or your weight is down





4 Steps Forward-



Reverse Grip Bench Press---4 sets@ 12,10,8, and 8 reps---to avoid overdo stress on the wrist use DB

Skullcrusher---4 sets@ 12,10,8, and 8 reps

Incline Dual Overhead Extensions---4 sets@ 12,10,8, and 8 reps-watch your head and neck

Close Grip Push-Ups--4 sets to failure

Softball Size Biceps

BODYBYDOUG-


http://www.bodybydoug.org



http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com




     We have covered Mass , Forcing the Growth, Switching It Up, and 4 Steps forward workouts so far in the bicep series.

 Now we come to the last 2 Powering the Bicep and Defining the Muscle.

 Power and Strength runs along the same lines as Mass  so by now we should be poppin' some pretty big guns, and we'll need some Switching it Up to show them off properly.

     Biceps and Triceps are some of the easiest muscles to work on and start showing results quickly.

 It does take time and commitment to be a bodybuilder, { I to like you have trouble sometimes with the commitment part }, but looking in the mirror and seeing the result is satisfying.

     These shorter routines were designed for you and me, who unlike pro-bodybuilders do not have the time to eat , train, sleep, eat, train, sleep.

 In our world we have other sources of income to pursuit and life in general to challenge our time commitment.


Powering the Bicep-


Standing Barbell Curl---5 sets@ 12,10,8,5, and 3 reps

Close Grip Pull-Up---3 sets@ 10,8,and 8 reps---palms facing you grip


Incline DB Curl---3 sets@ 10,8, and8 reps


Reverse Grip Cable Curl---2 sets@ 10, and 8 reps



Defining the Muscle-


Standing EZ Bar Pole Curl---3 sets@ 20,15, and 12 reps-standing with your back against the wall


Standing DB Hammer Pole Curl---3 sets@ 20,15, and 12 reps-same as above


Lying Cable Curl---3 sets@ 15 reps-lying on the floor


Cable Concentrated Curl---3 sets@ 15 reps

More Back Please

Bodybydoug-

http://www.bodybydoug.org

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com


    We continue with the third and final installment for back workouts in this series, but there will be other series, I'm sure, down the road. 

These are all pretty old school workouts, produced to be done mostly at home, because why-I hate the gym-but enough of my hangups.

 Putting on muscle is putting on muscle and just about anything works as long as you mix it up a little and actually do the workouts

. Motivating yourself and taking the time to meditate on what you desire can be as big a challenge as doing the lifting.

 But remember studs and studette's you are bodybuilders, and bodybuilders are made up of a different mindset.



     The first routine is designed to increase your strength levels and it centered around the barbell deadlift. 


Work your way down to a single rep on this lift, pyramiding up the weight on each set. 

 Striving for incremental strength increases workout to workout.

 The second routine is design to move stubborn back muscles into growth by shocking them. 

It's design to hit the back from different angles and bring on muscle failure through compound set. 

Have fun be safe and grow, grow, grow.


Power through the Lift-



Deadlifts---6 sets@ 12,10,8,6,4, and 1 reps

Bent-Over Barbell Row---4 sets@ 10,8,8, and 6 reps

Reverse Grip Pulldown---3 sets@ 10,8, and 8 reps


Good Morning---3 sets@ 10 reps-caution needs to be taken on your form and watch the amount of weight you use



Switching it Up-


Weighted Pull-Ups---30 reps


One Arm Machine Row---4 sets@ 12 to 15 reps


Bent-Over Reverse Grip Row---4 sets@ 6 to 8 reps


superset with

Close Hammer Grip Pulldown---4 sets@ 12 to 15 reps


Good Morning---3 sets@ 10 reps

The Oblique Tuck






BODYBYDOUG-


http://www.bodybydoug.org



http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com




     The first routine we work on today is concentrated on the oblique's.

 These moves or any ab exercise that involves a twisting motion will work the obliques, which are on either side of your six-pack, { or the six pack you plan on having }.


     The second routine will change things up for you if you're a little bored with the same old method you're currently using.

 Circuit training it a great way to break out of a training rut.

 So with your weight-loss under way let's work that mid-section, and add some muscle, so that at the beach or the pool we're not the ones to heavy to strip down. 


Oblique Work-

Side Dipping---3 sets@ 12 to 15 reps---take your DB's in both hands--flare them out at your side--and dip down on one side and then the other--concentrate on feeling the muscles on your sides working
Crossover Crunch---3 sets@ 12 to 15 reps
Side Jackknife---3 sets@ 12 reps--per side


 

4 Steps Routine-

Incline Bench Leg Raise---4 sets@ 15 reps---lie on an incline board so your head is above your feet hold the bench with both hands and perform leg raises
Crunch---4 sets@ 15 reps
Decline Twisting Crunch---4 sets@ 15 reps---combine decline and twisting crunch
Reverse Crunch---4 sets@ 15 reps

 Follow through and you will get there.

Legs 101 #2



BODYBYDOUG-



http://www.bodybydoug.org

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com




     It's leg day again which means that tomorrow morning the toilet will be your worst enemy.

 We're going to take a look at Hamstring work and put an emphasis on over-all width of the leg.

 I've been reading lots of material and listening to several different sources and the message I'm getting back is very confusing.

 One source says don't do deadlifts because that will give you a larger waist.

 I've mentioned before that I tend to store almost all my excess weight around my waist so should chunkier people be doing deadlifts or not.

Hold on it gets worst, you're not to do squats because that affects something else, and you're not to do single movements like extensions or lying leg curls.


     I think these people all own gym's,{ and they might }, because if you take away all of the above, what the hell is left.

 I won't use to many bad words here, I'll just say screw them.

 I will squat, I will deadlift, and I will do isolation moves like extensions, and if I have to I'll modify my weight-loss program.

 So give them a big one finger salute and let's continue on.





Hamstring Strength-


Deadlift---4 sets@ 12,10,8, and 8 reps-can be Romanian, but I prefer bending the knees to lift-watch your not using your back to much or putting it at an angle were it can be damaged


Leg Curls---3 sets@ 10 to 12 reps---seated or standing


Lying Leg Curls---3 sets@ 15,12, and 10 reps-enough weight to feel the movement, but light enough to move slowly through the movement




Quadizza Quads


Squat---4 sets@ 10reps--feet outside of shoulder width


Side Lunge---4 sets@ 12 reps---Dumbbells work great


Front Lunge---4 sets@ 12 reps


Cable Pull---4 sets@ 8 reps-per leg---you attach strap around one ankle at a time, steady yourself, stand with your side to the machine and move the leg that's strapped away from the machine-time consuming at first until you get the hang of it, then it's great for the inner and outer thigh, similar to an abductor machine

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com


Muscle up order here!!!!!


     The first routine will put muscle on and give you the strength to use it when you need it.

 Don't be shy to throw a lot of weight on the bar or dumbbells and power through.

 Making up the largest part of the upper arm we really need to hit the triceps hard every time out.

 You can't define your triceps if you don't have them? 

Once you have the mass the second routine comes into play. 

You have the mass now you need cuts, definition,and striations to show through and give you that horseshoe look.

 High definition will etch out that look for you.Be safe and have fun.





Greater Strength-


Close=-Grip Press---5 sets@ 12,10,8,8, and 6 reps-use the dumbbells for truly heavy weight



Incline Skullcrusher---3 sets@ 10,8, and 6 reps-watch your skull



Overhead Rope Extensions-3 sets@ 10,8, and 8 reps- much easier on the shoulder joints with the rope on a machine



Dips---2 sets-to failure-weighted dips if possible



  


Defining the Muscle-



1/2 Rep Close Grip Press---4 sets@ 25 to 30 reps-only doing the bottom half-DB's work fine



V-Bar Pushdown---3 sets@ 20,15, and 15 reps-equipment products-www.bodybydoug.net



Reverse Grip Pushdown---3 sets@ 20,15, and 15 reps



Cable Extensions---3 sets@ 15 reps

Up your Weight_loss with skinne' order here



     Here we are again in our never ending pursuit of the softball size bicep muscles, and I've got a couple of routines that will pump out the sleeves on your shirt so let's get going. 


 The first routine employs the forced reps approach, as this routine works well with a partner, but if your training alone don't think you can't give it a try.

 The second routine is a shocker, as we try to shock those stubborn biceps into growth. 

Remember that as a smaller muscle group we try to hit the bicep, on average, only once a week, so give it everything you've got. 

Then for the next 5 to 7 days let them rest and grow.


Make Them Grow-



Standing EZ Bar Curl---4 sets@ 15,12,10, and 8 reps



Standing Dual DB Curl---3 sets@ 8 to 10 reps



Machine Curl---3 sets@ 10 reps-short but sweet,work hard

Tummy Tuck 101





BODYBYDOUG-

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com





     For some reason probably my least favor thing is to work the abs.

 Like any other muscle group though they need the workout.

 Abs actually get a good workout just being put of every other workout, but a strong core is a strong core so they get their own routine.

 I've been told, and I'm not to sure if this is true, but if you tend to be thick around the waist never use weights, as it tends to make you even thicker.

  Being thicker around the waist, this tends to scare me away from any weight resistance.

 And your abs no matter how good, in shape or worked they are will never show with a layer of fat hiding them.

 { I know, I should be more concerned with the 50lbs I still need to lose }, Yes you're very funny.










     With the ads we like to talk about upper, lower and obliques, and we will through this series running into June eventually cover all three areas.

The Delt Machine 101




BODYBYDOUG-


http://www.bodybydoug.org



http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com





     No matter how you slice it, big muscular shoulders are hot.

 Put some muscle on them, get a tan and show them off in your favorite tank Delts are a very complicated area of the body and easily prone to injury.

 Once their injured, well you know the rest.

 Delts and back are the 2 easiest areas to injury and caution must be heeded.

  The experts are always weighing in on whether to perform shrugs with back or with delts, I say just do the exercise with either.

 Large traps and big shoulders go hand in hand.


     Divided up into three main areas, rear delts, middle delts and front delts, and sometimes hitting the right area with the right exercise can be a little tricky.

 But with some trial and error, you will soon learn how to feel the right part of any muscle group working at the right time.

 Have fun and be safe. Go easy on the amount of weight you're using until you get a handle on how to do the exercise and how much weight you can control.

 Remember that injuries suck.

     Legs offer a huge opportunity to add some impressive muscle, a calorie devouring machine for optimal weight-loss, and capable of moving some pretty massive weight. 

Continuing in a series of exercises running through to June, you do not want to neglect your legs. 

Come on people, how stupid does it look to be sporting a great upper body and have little stick legs.


     Legs are capable of taking a slickin' and keep on tickin'.

 Work them hard and work them often.

 For the time we will be looking at the quads and powering through the squat.

 Endless variations exist.


















Quads for Life



2 Minute Squat--- 5 sets-just what the name says-set a timer and squat for 2 minutes straight


Barbell Step-up---3 sets@10 to 12 reps


Wave Squat---5 sets@ 30 reps-3 regular squats, on the fourth raise up on your toes, on the fifth jump into the air


that's five reps, so repeat 6 times, that's one set


Leg Extensions---3 sets@10 to 12reps







Squat until they Grow-


Leg Extensions---2 sets@15 reps


Barbell Squat---8 sets@15,12,10,8,8,5,5,3 reps

 But when you do work on them " kill them ". 

If your giving all you've got,once a week should be fine.

 I've been hearing a lot of noise about don't do preacher curls and don't do this and that, but fine out what works for you and have at it.

Chest 101




BODYBYDOUG-

http://www.bodybydoug.org

http://www.bodybuildingsolutions101.com





         We know that most people really enjoy chest day. 


Even though the chest is one big muscle group we tend to divide it into 3 separate area, upper , middle and lower.

 There are a multitude of exercises to do for each area you wish to build.

 My personal preference is to build hard on the upper portion of the chest, because I think it shows better, and at the age of 53 just 8 days away, I'm well aware of the growing problem of gravity on the body.

 Have fun and be safe, you are responsible for the lifting you do. 

It's usually best to have a training partner, but I know this is not always possible. 

Here are a couple of routines and more will be on the way.


 



Pumping the Upper Chest



 Incline Barbell Press--4sets@ 12,10,8,and 8 reps



Incline cable Flyes--3 sets@ 10, 10 and 8 reps



Seated Chest Press-3 sets@ 10+



Feet Elevated Push-up- 2sets@ 15+
Push-Up lifts for Better Motion



 






 



Upsetting the Normal-



Swiss-Ball Dumbbell Press--4 sets@ 12, 10,8, and 8 reps



Swiss-Ball Dumbbell Flyes--3 sets@ 12, 10, and8 reps



Incline Dumbbell Press--3 sets@ 10, 8 and 8 reps
