Body building transforms your body in a way so that you look good, attractive, and muscular. It not only tones your muscles, but also keeps you healthy and fit through the kind of exercises that you do day in and day out. Weight training plays a vital role in body building and is very effective to get desired results. When you train with weights, your targeted muscles are forced to cope with the pressure that you put on them. When you regularly work your muscles with weights, they get larger in size due to the workout they have to perform. However, it is important to keep in your mind that your body may take few weeks to get used to weight training.
To improve your physique and tone your muscles, you will have to choose an appropriate body building technique. Always choose a technique that best suits your body and your needs. You must avoid over training. Simple consistency of attending a fitness center or gym 4 or 5 times a week and working out at a moderate rate would be enough to get desired results. If you are beginner, you can hire the services of a professional qualified trainer to show you a right weight training technique and body building exercises. Some popular body building techniques include Giant steps, Super sets, Drop sets, and Twenty-ones. Before practicing any of these techniques, it is important that you start with stretch exercises to perform a particular technique at the fullest range of motion.
In the Giant steps technique of weight training, you only work on a single muscle group. This means you have to perform different exercises with an emphasis on a particular muscle group. Giant step technique can be applied on any muscle in the body and is very effective for getting desired results for a targeted single muscle group.
In the Super sets technique of weight training, you focus on certain range of muscles. It is done by utilizing alternate muscles and is a combination of two workouts fused into one set. It is mainly done by doing a workout after one workout with no rest in between. This technique is very effective for getting desired results for multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Many athletes and professional body builders practice this technique to get an ideal physique and well toned lean muscles.
Drop sets technique of body building makes use of several steps. You start working with heavy weights and then in each step, you reduce the weight by 20% or 30%. This method is very effective for growing a particular muscle group in a quick span of time.
Twenty-ones is another weight training technique in which you workout each and every area of your muscle rather than muscles range. Twenty-one is actually a training method of 21 repetitions divided in three sets. In every set, there must be seven repetitions for both lower and upper phase and another seven for the complete repetitions. It is a very exhausting technique because you utilize all muscles of a particular targeted area.
