Weight Training For The Tricep Muscles

  Tricep workouts are a must for building bigger arms. While many people who lift weights tend to focus primarily on the biceps when they’re trying to gain arm size, the triceps actually make up more of the upper arm mass. Doing exercises for the triceps will also help make you stronger on major chest and shoulder exercises. When training the triceps, do various tricep extensions, close grip bench presses, and cable pushdowns.

Building Back Thickness And Width

To get the most out of your upper back workouts you must do exercises for both width and thickness. Training the latissimus dorsi muscles on the outsides of the upper back will help give you that width that anybody who follows a weight training routine needs to give them that statuesque look. Pull-up and pulldowns exercises are the primary width builders in an upper back workout routine and row exercises are the primary thickness builders.

Proper Bench Pressing Technique

  One of the best chest exercises is the bench press. Nothing is better for building the pecs. It’s also an easy exercise to perform properly - just make sure to keep your rear end on the bench with your feet on the floor and keep a natural arch in your lower back. Try pulling your shoulder blades inward and downward as well so you contract your upper back muscles and pop the chest muscles out so they get targeted better while you bench press during chest workouts.

Gaining Strength On The Bench Press

  The bench press is one the most popular exercises to gain strength on for those who are into weight training. The first step to increasing bench press strength is to make sure you’re using proper form when you’re doing it. If you do sloppy bench reps you won’t be building as much actual strength in your chest as you wouild if you used good lifting form. It’s okay to have your lower back arched, but you need to keep your behind on the bench when you do the bench press during your chest workouts. You should also contract your upper back muscles and pull your shoulder blades inward to pop your pecs out and target them better. Always lower the weight under control, do not drop it on your chest. When the weight touches your chest try to explode it upward.

Do Higher Rep Squats If You Work Out At Home

If you want to start working out with weights, but don’t want to join a gym, you can always do your weight training at home. All you’ll need are some weights, a barbell and dumbbells, and a strong bench with a cable row and pulldown attachment and a leg extension and leg curl attachment. The only major compound exercise that you may have a tough time doing at home will be the squat. If you decide to work out at home, try doing barbell squats with lighter weights that allow for a lot of reps.

Use A Push-Pull Weight Training Routine

One of the best ways to split up a weight training routine into 3 workouts is to use a push-pull workout routine. In a push-pull wieght training routine you train muscles that push weights away from the body one day, muscle groups that pull weights towards the body the next day, and legs on the last day. Because the abdominal muscles recover faster than other muscles, you can do your ab routine at every other workout.

Tip For Increasing Your Bench Press

  Nearly every weight trainer out there would love to bench press more weight. There are many tips to increasing bench press strength. One tip is to do some upper back weight training exercises while you are warming up for a max bench. When you lay on the bench you’ll want to contract your back muscles to pop out your pecs and actually decrease the distance you must lift the weight by a small amount. Having a pump in the upper back will help this.

Train The Hamstrings For Leg Strength

  The hamstrings are the muscles on back of the upper thighs and assist on most quadricep exercises. It’s important to specifically target the hamstrings in your weight training routine so they are stronger on exercises like squats and deadlifts. It’s also important to stretch them between every hamstring exercise you perform to aid flexibilty and prevent injury.

Train The Brachialis For Thicker Arms

  To build bigger arms you not only focus on biceps and triceps workouts, but focus on the brachialis muscle on the outside of the arms between the bis and tris. Targeting the brachialis will add thickness to your arms. To train the brachialis you should do a few sets of hammer curls during your biceps workouts.

Focus On The Side Deltoid Muscles

If you’re following a weight training routine you must be careful not to overtrain the shoulders, or deltoids. The front deltoid muscles assist on most pectoral weight training exercises and the rear deltoid muscles assist on most upper back exercises. While you should do some direct work for these muscles during your deltoid workout you may want to focus more on the side deltoid muscles because they don’t assist as much on lifts involving other muscles. Hitting the side delts with dumbbell presses and side laterals will add shoulder width - a must for a wider upper body appearance.
