Steroids Done Right

Since his bodybuilding career, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the poster child of it all. In the sixties, Arnold took bodybuilding from a little known sport and sparked the surge to the multi million dollar a year industry it is today.

Back when Arnold was starting out in bodybuilding, he’s always had a winning mentality. No matter what he goes after in life - bodybuilding, acting, politics etc he always excels.

Arnold trained intensively. Sometimes twice a day to trick his muscles into growing when he’d hit a plateau. These days, however, bodybuilding know-how has come along a fair bit and there are now very simple yet effective ways of building muscle.

There are many gain muscle work outs that you can from the internet, but for now, let’s just look at the basics, and the things Arnold Schwarzenegger himself was doing to prepare for his first Mr. Universe title at the tender age of 22.

First of all - to gain muscle, there are three key rules that you must follow -

* Training - You must train with free weights that are heavy for YOU.

* Eating - You must eat healthy foods and eat a lot of them every day

* Rest - Muscles don’t grow in the gym, they grow when you rest. Get at least 8 hours sleep every night.

Focusing on work outs - three times per week is how often you need to train to bulk up. Stay away from cardio exercise (exept for a 5 minute warm up before you stretch) and take a day’s rest in between each workout. Only train for one hour per training session and work each muscle group once per week.

Workout 1

Abdominals, Calf Raises, Squats, Deadlifts.

Workout 2

Bicep Curls, Lateral Raises, Lat Pull Downs, Bent-Over Rows

Workout 3

Abdominals (optional), Shoulder Press, Bench Press, Tricep Curls

For each exercise, complete as follows

* 2 warm-up sets of 8 reps (don’t work to failure) * Increase weight and perform 1 set of 8 reps (work to failure) * Increase weight and perform 1 set of 6 reps (work to failure) * Increase weight and perform 1 set of 4 reps (work to failure) * Increase weight and perform 1 set of 2-4 reps (work to failure) * Drop the weight back down to the weight of your first set and work to failure * Half that weight and work to failure

Keep this gain muscle work out. I can guarantee that if you eat right, get a lot of rest and follow this work out program that you’ll be built like Arnold in a matter of months!
