The Most Effective Muscle Building Routine

By Pat Summers

Many people who begin working out at the gym simply don't know what they're supposed to do. I've seen so many people jumping from machine to machine, without any real inclination as to which muscles are being worked out in the process. A solid plan will make a world of a difference though.

While my tips will definitely set you off in the right direction, this in and of itself won't be enough to make a difference. The real results will come from your consistent dedication when it comes to working these muscles.

However, following a steady workout plan can go a very long way toward building your body proportionally in a way that brings great results. Let's look at the muscle groups that you'll need to work out.

I always like to start my workout rotation with one that focuses on the chest. Exercises like bench press and push-ups both benefit the chest, and you'll see some great results as far as your overall build is concerned.

Many people enjoy building their chest muscles, and they already see the value in doing so. The back muscles are neglected more often though, and they shouldn't be. These are just as important as the chest muscles.

Don't forget about working out your shoulders either. While some back and chest exercises may incorporate your shoulder muscles, you'll want to have a workout that's dedicated to your shoulders.

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.

Many people neglect the legs, but they're absolutely critical if you're looking for the maximum results. Not only do they help the rest of your body to grow more easily, but you'll look funny if you simply work your upper body.

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
