How To Get Bigger Shoulders

Building bigger shoulders is a sought after goal for many weight lifters (at least those of the male population). When developed and conditioned enough the this muscle group resembles a pair bronze pumpkins that greatly contribute to the desirable V-shaped torso, signifying dominance and masculinity. Furthermore, wide and muscular shoulders give the impression of a trimmer waistline and are considered one of the most attractive bodyparts in the eyes of women. Prior to designing a new weight lifting routine or implementing one of the many available shoulder routines, some attention must be directed toward functionality of the muscle. The anatomy of the shoulder is somewhat complex and consists of the rotator cuff, a group of 4 small muscles underneath the upper arm, as well as the anterior (front), medial (middle), and posterior (rear) deltoid heads, the 3 larger muscles that give the shoulders their overall shape. The rotator cuff muscles and tendons connect the humerus (upper arm bone) to the scapula (shoulder blade) and are responsible for much of the stabilization required to perform weight lifting and everyday tasks. A torn rotator cuff can make an upper body workout every difficult by causing pain and impairment during movement of the arm. Each of the 3 deltoid heads contract to move the arm in different directions relative to the body. The anterior head moves the arm out to front of the body, the medial head is involved in side movement, and the posterior head contracts to cause arm movements from front to rear of the torso. A key component to building bigger shoulders is directing equal attention toward all three deltoid heads to achieve a balanced look from all angles.
Knowing the basic anatomy of the shoulder makes it much easier to choose the most appropriate weight lifting exercises for an effective routine. The barbell or dumbbell shoulder press is the ultimate mass builder for all 3 deltoid muscles, although most emphasis is placed on the anterior head. Avoid performing shoulder presses behind the neck if using a barbell as doing so can place undue stress on the rotator cuff. Front, lateral, and bent-over lateral dumbbell shoulder raises target each of the 3 heads (anterior, medial, and posterior respectively) individually and are great for developing separation between these muscles. Front raises can be changed from an isolation to a compound exercise by using a barbell, working both anterior heads together. Wide grip upright rows are a very effective movement for isolating the medial heads from the remainder of the shoulder muscles (the trapezius and biceps are also heavily involved) with much more weight than used for lateral raises. Another effective mass building exercise for the medial deltoids are lateral raises performed on a machine because the range of motion is locked and both shoulders move together. The posterior heads are brought into play significantly during almost every upper back exercises and therefore do not required a lot of direct work for development (a good number of shoulder routines actually group these muscles as part of the upper back and exclude them from the workout). Proper form is the most effective method of strengthening the rotator cuffs and specialized exercises should be avoided altogether (read this article).

Anterior Deltoid Emphasis

• Barbell or dumbbell shoulder press 2-3x6-10
• Dumbbell lateral raises 2-3x10-15
• Dumbbell bent-over lateral raises 2-3x10-15
• Barbell front raises 2-3x8-12

Medial Deltoid Emphasis

• Dumbbell lateral raises 2-3x10-15
• Machine lateral raises or wide grip upright rows 2-3x8-12
• Barbell or dumbbell shoulder press 2-3x6-10
• Bent-over lateral raises 2-3x10-15

Note:  The most effective mass building exercises for posterior deltoids are upper back movements (rows and pull ups). Bent-over lateral raises can easily be included in an upper back routine and can be replaced with dumbbell front raises for both shoulder routines above.

Muscle And Fitness Magazine Review

Almost everyone at all dedicated to weight lifting has at least glanced through the pages of Muscle And Fitness Magazine. Each issue is packed with weight lifting routines, nutritional advice, supplement and equipment reviews, and even some focus on lifestyle issues (such as fashion, grooming, and sex). In addition, there is a good amount of professional bodybuilding contest coverage as well as interviews with bodybuilders and celebrities. Muscle And Fitness is the most popular of all bodybuilding magazines and is geared for both men and women of all levels of weight lifting experience.
Every article in Muscle And Fitness Magazine is very detailed and descriptive with lots of accompanying pictures for further assistance to readers. Everyone can learn at least one new way to improve their weight lifting routine because a great deal of emphasis is placed on proper execution as well as little tweaks and variations of free weight exercises. Another topic covered to some extent in every issue is human anatomy and how to choose the appropriate exercises and equipment for development of specific muscle groups. However, as with the majority of bodybuilding magazines, it is advised to place more focus more on the written content and use the photos for further clarification (the insane amount of weight lifted and occasional omission of barbell collars can sometimes mislead beginners). Whether a beginner to weight lifting or an advanced lifter in search of new ways to improve a routine,  there is something for everyone.
Muscle And Fitness is not as hardcore of a bodybuilding magazine as Flex and therefore contains fewer interviews with professional bodybuilders and less contest coverage (although both topics are covered to a fairly large extent). Also the workout routines are not quite as intense as those featured in Flex or Muscular Development, making it a potentially more appealing magazine choice for beginners and intermediate weight lifters. Unfortunately there are two downsides that deserve to be mentioned. First of all, Muscle And Fitness is the most promotional of all bodybuilding magazines and contains a very large number of multi-page supplement and equipment advertisements, sometimes even disquised as weight lifting articles. Secondly, the majority of photos are of very muscular men and women, unlike the majority of lifters in search of fitness information. Despite these flaws, the information and articles contained in every monthly issue is beneficial for creating or modifying a routine.

What Are The Best Shoes For Weight Training?

It is important to choose the right pair of shoes for weight lifting for optimal results. Many lifters pay little or no attention to their choice of footwear which is a mistake. The wrong shoes can potentially reduce the amount of weight used or even invite injury when performing heavy compound exercises such as squats and deadlifts. It is worth learning some basic knowledge about the three main categories of footwear commonly used at the gym:  running shoes, cross trainers, and weight lifting shoes.

Running Shoes
Footwear designed for running or jogging is the worst possible choice in shoes for weight lifting. Running shoes are very flexible around the toe and heel with almost no lateral support as they are meant to be comfortable during repetitive forward movement. In addition, the high amount of cushioning under the heels and lack of flatness of the soles drastically reduces overall body stability which is required for heavy lifting (an extreme version of this is to imagine performing squats while standing on a balancing board). More often than not, it is better to workout in socks or bare feet than to use running shoes.

Cross Trainers
Cross trainers are a much better choice for weight training than running shoes. This type of footwear is designed for performance in a wide variety of activities from sprinting to sports and is often an acceptable choice for beginners or intermediates. Although cross trainers have some flexibility and cushioning the amount is less than that of running shoes and more lateral stability is offered. One downside, despite the many positive qualities, is the soles are typically not flat which will result in some power dissipation throughout heavy lifts (although not as much as with running shoes).

Weight Lifting Shoes
It is very beneficial for an advanced lifter to invest in footwear specifically designed for strength training. Weight lifting shoes have very flat and sturdy soles as well as excellent lateral stability, allowing maximum poundage to be lifted with good stability. Making the change often results in an immediate increase of weight used for heavy squats, deadlifts, and other movements because almost no power is dissipated. If money is a concern, a cheaper solution is footwear with a similarily flat sole such as Converse Chuck Taylors.

How To Get A Bigger Back

There is no single weight lifting exercise for total building of the back. Being one of the largest and most complex muscle groups of the human body; the back is involved throughout many movements, both in weight lifting and while performing everyday tasks. Therefore it makes sense to use a variety of different exercises when designing a weight lifting routine for complete development.
The first and most important step in creating a routine is to understand the functionality of both the upper and lower back. The upper back is roughly the same size as the chest and shoulders combined and contributes significantly to the overall appearance of both muscle groups. Developing this area has perhaps the most drastic effect on the upper body as it frames in the chest and pushes out the shoulders to create the desired V-shaped torso. Unlike other muscle groups, the upper back can grow both in thickness and width with exercises that involve pulling weight toward the body either horizontally or vertically relative to the body. Horizontal movements build thickness while vertical movements build width. The lower back is one of the strongest areas of the entire body and acts as a stabilizer during any exercise that involves bending over such as squats, deadlifts, and bent-over barbell rows. Both portions of the back must be developed to ensure a balanced and functional physique.
Armed with this knowledge, the next step is to learn the most effective weight lifting exercises for each portion of the back. Upper back thickness is developed with free weight, machine, and cable rowing exercises; the ultimate mass builder being bent-over barbell or dumbbell rows. Width is built with pull ups and machine or cable lat pull downs. Since the pull up is the the primary mass builder, consider using a weight belt to attach a plate or two if this exercise becomes easy. Deadlifts are by far the most effective exercise more lower back development and second only to the squats in terms of building overall muscle mass. Since it is a power exercise, the best rep range for the deadlift is 4-6 with as much weight as can be lifted with good form. Ensure that these mass builders are included fore each area and use machines, cables, and finishing exercises as icing on the cake.
Each portion of the back can be trained separately or together in a single workout. The advantage of splitting up this large muscle group is more concentrated attention can be placed individually on thickness, width, and lower back developement. In addition, each targetted routine is easily paired with other bodyparts. Upper back exercises pair very well with a chest and shoulder routine (thickness complements chest and width complements shoulders) while almost all lower back movements involve the hamstrings. Training the entire back will involve doing fewer exercises for each area (5 exercises total is often plenty) but is effective as long as pull ups, deadlifts, and bent-over barbell or dumbbell rows are included.

Upper Back Thickness

• Bent-over barbell or dumbbell rows 2-3x6-8
• Any machine or cable row 2-3x8-10
• Bent-over lateral dumbbell or cable raises 2x10-15
  

Upper Back Width

• Pull ups 2-3x6-8 (use a weight belt to pull up a plate or two if needed)
• Any machine or cable pull down 2-3x8-10
• Dumbbell or cable pull over 2x10-15
  

Lower Back

• Deadlifts 2-3x4-6
• Hyper extensions 2x10-15
  

Total Back 

• Pull ups 2-3x6-8
• Deadlifts 2-3x4-6
• Bent-over barbell or dumbbell rows 2-3x6-8
• Any two back exercises 2x10-15 (focus on areas that are underdeveloped)
  

Understanding Human Anatomy For An Effective Weight Lifting Routine

Creating a weight lifting routine can sometimes be a very difficult and time consuming task. It is almost impossible to isolate and train a single muscle group by itself and therefore some consideration must be directed toward organizing 3 or 4 day a week workout programs that allow optimal muscle recovery time (5 days a week or more is often excessive). Compound free weight exercises are the bread and butter of any effective routine and are required for proper development of the larger muscle groups such as quads, back, and chest. But also keep in mind that compound movements recruit both the primary muscle group trained as well as additional groups for assistance and/or stabilization. These secondary muscles can easily become exhausted if trained again without sufficient rest. For example, squats are primarily a quad exercise but also involve the calves, hamstrings, lower back and glutes to assist in executing the movement as well as the upper back, traps, and abs to stabilize the entire body while supporting a heavy barbell. Therefore the hamstrings and lower back must be fully recovered after a quad session before a dedicated workout to avoid the possibility of over training either. It is obvious that basic knowledge of human anatomy is essential for constructing an effective weight lifting routine.

Lower Body
Quads should either be trained with only one or two small muscle groups or on a separate day altogether. This is because squats intensely work almost the entire body, resulting in muscles that get tired fast when combined with additional quad movements such as leg presses and hack squats. An important rule of thumb to keep in mind is the hamstrings and lower back must be recovered (not sore or over trained) prior to training quads.
Lower back can either be paired with upper back and/or hamstrings. This is because the most effective exercise for lower back development is the deadlift, a movement that highly involves both. Deadlifts are almost as intense as squats (most of the same muscle groups are used) and will cause muscles to get tired fast when combined with heavy upper back movements such as bent-over rows or weighted pull-ups. Hence, the lower back is most effectively trained when both the hamstrings and upper back are sufficiently recovered.
Calves and abs recover fast enough and can usually be trained at the end of any workout (upper or lower body). It is important to keep in mind that both muscle groups can be over trained and should not be trained more than twice a week.

Upper Body
The upper body is composed of two major muscle group categories:  pushing and pulling both horizontally and vertically in relation to the body. Pushing muscles are used to perform exercises that move the weight away from the body and include chest, shoulders, and triceps. Pulling muscles are used to perform exercises that move the weight toward the body and include upper back and biceps. Horizontal movements develop torso thickness while vertical movements develop torso width. There are a wide variety of upper body weight lifting routines available and some trial and error may be required to find the right one.
Chest is the primary horizontal pushing muscle group and is best developed with bench press movements. Because the shoulders and triceps are highly involved in the bench press it makes sense for both to be recovered prior to training chest. Shoulders are the primary vertical pushing muscles and are best developed with overhead pressing movements. The triceps must be recovered for overhead presses but the chest is not involved much at all and therefore its recovery level is irrelevant when training shoulders. The upper back is the primary muscle group for both horizontal and vertical pulling movements. Rowing movements develop thickness in this area while pullups and pulldowns develop width. Almost all upper back exercises highly involve the biceps and many rowing exercises require lower back strength for stability and therfore both muscle groups should be recovered beforehand.
When creating a weight lifting routine, pushing and pulling as well as upper and lower body muscle groups can be trained together in the same workout. Forearms and neck are much like calves and abs in the sense that they can be trained at the end of any workout but can also be over trained if worked more than twice a week. These 2 areas are often neglected because they get a lot of work from heavy gripping exercises used for both upper and lower body development.

Bowflex Adjustable Incline Treadmill Review

Whether shopping for a new or used treadmill it is important to browse the marketplace before making a purchase with some consideration directed toward the three adjustable incline treadmill models offered by Bowflex. Each model comes with a variety of programmed exercise routines, a maximum speed of 10-11MPH, a 0-12% adjustable incline, and Strike Zone deck suspension cushioning. This combination ensures that an interesting and challenging workout will be performed on a comfortable and supportive running surface. Another advantage is the attractive and sleek appearance of all models as well as Soft Drop folding and built-in wheels, allowing for easy storage while not in use. In addition to being reasonably priced, bowflex treadmills are built to last and come backed with a lengthy warranty for consumer peace of mind (15 years for frame, 10 years for motor, two years for parts, and one year for labor). However, there are two disadvantages that must be taken into account despite being fairly uncommon. First of all the treadmill belts are only single-ply and are more likely to wear out and need replacement faster than the double-ply belts offered by some other manufacturers. Secondly, there is potential for a slightly annoying rattling noise to occur during a workout due the fact that Bowflex uses plastic gears for construction. Because the qualities mentioned above are common to all Bowflex Treadmills, the distinct features of each model are reviewed below.

3-Series Treadmill
The 3-Series Treadmill is the first generation of the series and despite being discontinued, is known as one of the most popular products produced by Bowflex. Being equipped with an electronic 1.75HP motor and 20x54" moving surface, this treadmill is designed for normal and brisk walking rather than intense running. With six programmed workouts and a built-in pulse grip heart rate monitor, this is a good choice for a beginner of exercise looking to lose weight.

5-Series Treadmill
The 5-Series Treadmill is an upgrade to the 3-Series in every imaginable way and is built to handle jogging and intense running. Because it features a 2.5HP motor, 12 workout programs, a 3-speed built-in fan, and arm-mounted adjustment controls; this treadmill is a great choice for an athlete rather than a beginner. In addition, the 20x60" moving surface makes it very accommodating to the long strides of a taller user. Unfortunately, this model is also discontinued but can still be purchased used.

7-Series Treadmill
Being the best of its kind by Bowflex, the 7-Series comes equipped with an electronic 3.0HP motor, making it a very powerful foldup treadmill. This model has all the features of the 5-Series but with 15 workout programs and the inclusion of telemetric (chest strap) heart rate monitoring. Not only is the 7-Series is an excellent choice for intense cardio training but is also the only treadmill of the series that is still in production.

How To Use Weight Lifting Routines From Bodybuilding Magazines

A common mistake amongst lifters trying to gain mass quickly is to copy one of the overwhelming weight lifting routines from the pages of Muscle and Fitness or Flex Magazine. This logic often comes from the belief that fast muscle gain can be achieved by following the exact workouts as professional bodybuilders. Unfortunately the result of performing the high number of sets to muscular failure as instructed is usually over training and disappointment (sometimes even to the point of quitting weight lifting). All of this frustration is completely unnecessary because great gains are can be achieved with a few minor adjustments. Many weight lifting workouts in bodybuilding magazines are composed of an effective combination exercises; the only problem is the overwhelming number of sets. As an example, let us examine one of the many chest workouts from Flex Magazine.

Beginners

• Incline barbell presses 4x6-8
• Flat-bench barbell presses 4x6-8

Advanced

• Incline barbell presses 4x6-8
• Flat-bench barbell presses 4x6-8
• Dumbbell flyes 3-4x12-15
• Cable crossovers 3-4x12-15

Unlike many weight lifting routines in bodybuilding magazines, the above features separate workouts for beginners and advanced lifters (it is important to note that many beginners will follow advanced routines with the expectation of fast muscle gain). Both workouts consist of the right exercises to stimulate overall chest growth but can potentially lead to over training due to the high number of sets (8 sets for beginners and 14-16 sets for advanced lifters). But performing only 2-3 sets of incline and flat barbell presses and 2 sets of dumbell flyes and cable crossovers solves this problem completely. After this modification, the result will be 4-6 sets for beginners and 8-10 sets for advanced lifters, which is sufficient for stimulation of muscle growth. Bodybuilding magazines are a valuable tool in building a great physique and minimal adjustment is required for the routines to result in optimal muscle gain rather than over training.

Starting Strength Review: A Solid Beginner Routine For Muscle Building

As a beginner it is important to follow a weight lifting routine designed for building a strong foundation of strength and muscle mass. Since thousands of weight lifting books and articles exist, the novice lifter has a countless number of workouts from which to choose. Unfortunately only a handful are truly effective while the remainder are merely recipes for frustration and disappointment. Starting Strength, a book written by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, offers a simple yet effective weight lifting routine based upon fundamental compound movements that have withstood the test of time. Detailed instructions and illustrations within the pages teach beginners proper exercise form as required for optimal results. Also available is the Starting Strength DVD for further assistance.

Workout #1
Squat 3x5
Bench Press 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

Workout #2
Squat 3x5
Standing Military Press 3x5
Power Clean 3x5

The weight lifting routine above is performed 3 days a week (typically on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) in an alternating sequence. The intended goal is to gradually increase overall strength and muscle mass every workout by adding 5-15LB to squats and deadlifts and 2.5-5LB to all other movements. Because most gyms only offer weight plates as low as 2.5LB, it may be necessary to experiment with chains and other apparatus when aiming for a total weight increase of 2.5LB. Because squats are performed 3 days a week it is normal to feel sore in the legs for the first couple weeks until the body has adapted to the program. Another common scenario is that some lifters prefer not to perform power cleans either due to injury or complexity of the movement. Although it is recommended that power cleans be used, bent-over rows are an adequate substitute and will not compromise overal results in any way. Starting Strength offers an effective routine that can be followed for a lengthy period of time (6 months to a year or until linear progress stops) and almost anyone can benefit from the wisdom within its pages.

The Big 3: Vital For Any Weight Lifting Routine

Although machine and cable exercises have their place in an effective weight lifting routine, a true foundation of strength and muscle mass is built with heavy compound free weight movements. These exercises stimulate growth of multiple muscle groups at once in addition to building functional strength for everyday tasks. There are 3 movements in particular that are essential for developing total body strength and muscle mass:  the bench press, squat, and deadlift.

Squat
There's no easier way to say it; squats are mandatory in any effective weight lifting routine. They may cause you to feel dizzy, see stars, and puke afterwards but no other exercise is anywhere near as effective for building total body mass (with the possible exception of deadlifts). Many novice lifters make the huge mistake of not including squats or even neglecting the lower body altogether. In addition to the ridiculous looking appearance of a well developed upper body supported on toothpick legs, not training lower body actually impairs upper body growth. Large amounts of testosterone and growth hormone are released during squats that promote full body growth, allowing you to get big fast. Furthermore, supporting a heavy barbell on the traps for multiple reps of this movement is an intense task for the upper body.

Deadlift
There may be no better barometer of strength than the deadlift. Because no racks or benches are required it is truly a battle of man versus weight. Second only to the squat in intensity, the deadlift is another exercise that must be included. Although it is primarily a lower back exercise, many other muscle groups are brought into play. These include the traps, upper back, neck, forearms, quads, hamstrings, glutes, and the entire ab region. Aside from being one of the best exercises to get big fast, deadlifts are also a great fat burner because so many major muscle groups are worked at once (much like the squat).

Bench Press
The most commonly asked question between members of any gym is "How much do you bench?". Although much more weight is used for the squat and deadlift, the bench press causes more injuries than any other exercise due to a combination of lifting too much weight with poor form. Nevertheless it is fundamental movement that works the entire chest region as well as the shoulders and triceps. The upper back and abs are also called into play as stabilizers throughout the entire movement, and therefore, stimulating growth of the entire upper body. No matter whether performed with a barbell or dumbb on a flat, incline or decline bench; the bench press is vital in any weight lifting routine.

5 Tips For A Solid Weight Lifting Routine

In developing an effective weight lifting routine, the first and most important step is actually making the personal commitment to stick with it and not quit after a week or two. Attention must then be directed to the number of days a week to workout, the muscle groups that will be trained in each session, and the actual exercises to be performed. A good weight gain resistance training program will hit every muscle group enough to stimulate growth while allowing plenty of recovery time in between workouts. The former is simply a matter of placing equal attention on all muscle groups of the entire body and not neglecting any area (especially the back and legs). The latter is learning the optimal amount of recovery time for each muscle group in order to avoid over training while also taking other physical activities (martial arts, dancing, sports, etc.) into consideration. Below are 5 important tips to keep in mind when developing a new weight lifting routine.

1. To avoid over training stick to 3 or 4 day a week exercise programs and have at least 1 day a week for rest and recovery with absolutely no physical activity. Perform 6-12 sets for major muscle groups (chest, back, shoulders, quads, and hamstrings) and 2-6 sets for secondary muscle groups (biceps, triceps, forearms, abs, calves).
2. Beginners must develop a total body workout rather than only training the muscle groups that are visable in a mirror. Few things look more funny than a developed upper body supported on toothpick legs or an imbalance between two opposing muscle groups (such as chest and back).
3. Squats and deadlifts must be included and any weight lifting routine and should each be performed once a week. Both exercises intensely work almost every muscle group in the entire body and are essential for building a solid base of strength and muscle mass.
4. Don't rely too much on machines or cable equipment as barbells and dumbells are the superior choice for building muscle. Base workouts around compound free weight exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull ups. Upon building a solid foundation, machine and cable exercises can be added sparingly to improve an already strong routine.
5. Keep in mind that secondary muscle groups are often called into play to assist major muscle groups during compound movements and should be given adequate recovery time before a direct training session. As an example, triceps are worked intensely when training chest with any bench press movement and therefore should be rested for 1-2 days following a chest workout to avoid over training before a direct tricep workout.
