The Most Important Muscles for Weight Lifting

By Vincent Wax

Are you new to working out, or simply looking for a new routine? If you answered yes to either one of these questions, I'll be the first to tell you that there are literally thousands of different workout routines out there, many of which do a great job at getting you into great shape.

In the end, it comes down to your focus, dedication, and your desire to make a difference in your life. There's no magic formula that makes things happen automatically.

This is a simple step, and one that should be strictly adhered to if you're serious about making a chance. All you'll need to do is identify the muscles that need attention, working them all into a regular rotation from there.

First, there's the chest. This has always been the most important muscle group to me, even though others would disagree. I simply happen to believe that a strong chest will make working everything else easier.

In addition to the chest, bigger back muscles will provide an equal benefit to your overall appearance, making you look thicker on the whole. Pull-ups, one armed rows, and other exercises will do the job here.

The shoulders must be tended to as well. Strong and broad shoulders look great, and a shoulder workout is a regular part of any muscle building rotation.

Did you know that there are two major muscle groups in your upper arms? There are the biceps on the front of your arm, and the triceps in the back. Don't forget about either one of these.

The last essential muscle group that I'll mention here is the legs. These are possibly the most important all in all, as many serious body builders say they would choose legs if they could only work out one muscle group.

Some people also want to sculpt their abdominal muscles, and end up doing sit-ups and crunches regularly. Feel free to do this if a flat stomach is on your list of priorities. - 31525
