3 Day Quick Size Gaining Routine for Bulking Up.Are you frustrated with your current weight lifting routine? Have you been at the same weight and same strength for months, or even years? Are you tired of following "Ronnie Coleman's Super Freak Size Gaining Routine For Juiced-Up Psychos"? ------------------------------------------------------------ Need step-by-step directions on how to get the body of your
dreams? I'm ready to build muscle & get ripped...show me how I'm ready to burn fat & tone up...show me how ----------------------------------------------------------- This article will show you what real natural bodybuilders do to gain mass in as short as time as possible, all without lifting weights more than 3 days per week. Let's get to the size gaining routine... Make sure to read the training article below the weight lifting routine for extremely
important training advice and tips. Important: Do a short warmup set before each exercise with approximately 50% of the weight you will use for the main working set. Do about 4 - 6 reps with this lighter weight, just enough to get warmed up. *Note: You can click on the links below
to see the picture & description of each exercise. The most important thing is that you lift to absolute FAILURE! This is not an option. It is almost 100% necessary to have a workout partner. If you need to get 8 - 10 reps, choose a weight that allows you to get 8 - 10 reps, but not even ONE more. I am serious! Once you reach your last rep, you should not be physically able to do another one, no matter what. Only you can judge if you are truly putting all possible effort into each set. Unlike weight lifting routines where you are doing 4 or 5 sets per exercise, you only have one chance to blast your muscles. Don't waste it! You will also notice that most of the exercises are compound movements. We are NOT doing many isolation exercises. Let Richard Simmons do them. We want to get huge and strong and the only way to do it is by using these time tested, scientifically validated exercises. Perform each set with good form. Cheating will only hurt your gains. Do each rep slowly and do not use momentum. Each rep should use a full range of motion and take approximately 2 seconds on the way down and 2 seconds on the way up. Do not "jerk" the weight up. Slowly move it up and down. Use lighter weight if you must. This is VERY important to your gains so don't ignore this! Do not stop moving during any part of your set. Some people will go all the way down on squats, then come back up and lock their knees, rest for a second or two, then go back down. Do NOT do this or you will be making Baby Jesus cry. You should stay in constant motion without locking out on any exercise. Do not stop at the bottom of your bicep curls or any other exercise. Again: Keep moving for the whole set and do not lock out your arms or legs. Keep moving like it is one long SLOW rep instead of 10. Do not stop at the bottom or top of your movements!
That's it. A full body weight lifting routine that you will complete 2 1/2 or 3 days per week on one of the following schedules: 3 Days A Week 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 2 off. Usually people will do this by working out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with the other days completely off from weight training. 2 1/2 Days A Week Experienced lifters may benefit even MORE from taking more rest days. Have you ever noticed that after a two day rest period, your next weight lifting routine is awesome? You feel good, your strength is up, and you have a great workout. Then, near the end of the week you feel tired and drained? Lifting on the following schedule allows you to get full recovery and have a record-breaking workout each time: 1 on, 2 off, repeat over and over again.
You must lift heavier each workout. If you live 100 pounds for 10 reps each workout for months, your body will have no reason to get bigger and stronger. You will not grow unless your weights are going up repeatedly. The only way to fully track this is to write down everything you do in a workout log. If last time you did 225 lbs for 10 reps on the bench press, you must go to at least 230 lbs for 8 reps on your next workout. If you do get 8 reps, then on your next workout you should get at least 9 reps with the same weight. Once you can get 10 reps, you must raise the weight again. Don't wuss out! Look at your log from your last weight lifting routine, and beat it on every exercise. Even if you only get half a rep more than before, you will be gaining. It is very important that you also track your bodyweight and measurements so you can see how much progress you have made. I recommend weighing yourself before each workout and measuring a few of your important bodyparts (like arms, thighs and waist) before you go to the gym.
Yes, that's it! It may sound crazy to somebody who is used to doing 30 sets for biceps and working out 6 days per week. Even crazier is lifting 6 days per week and not growing! Stop thinking that more is better! If you are a natural bodybuilder, you will not have near the recovery of a steroid user. Somebody on steroids can lift 6 days per week without overtraining, but you can't. Many bodybuilders who are used to high volume training would laugh at a bodybuilder who does one set per exercise and only works out three days per week. I ask them how many times a week they work their biceps. Almost always, they say once per week on "Bicep Day". Once per week? So they work their biceps, then they let them rest for 7 days in a row? After 1 or 2 days, their biceps are no longer sore. Their biceps are slowly losing muscle mass during this long rest period. In our size gaining routine you isolate each bodypart THREE times per week with a full, heavy set. You hit it on Monday, let it rest one day, hit it on Wednesday, let it rest, hit it on Friday and then give the poor muscle a two day break, before starting the cycle again. So we work our biceps (and all muscles) three full times per week which is 12 times per month. They work their biceps 12 times in 3 months! And they call us lazy... Why is this good for muscle building? Think about when you build a callous on your hand. If you were to rub your hand until is was cut and started bleeding, then wait a week, then do it again, you would simply have a scar. On the otherhand, if you were to rub it a little each day or every other day, it would slowly build up a resistance to the rubbing, thus forming a protective callous. This is the same idea with our size gaining routine. Another interesting thing is that people who do 12 sets per bodypart usually do not go to full failure on each set. This would be almost impossible as it would nearly kill them! They will usually do their first few sets with ease because in the back of their mind they are saving their energy for the last few sets. Most of their sets are worthless since they are not going to failure. Your muscles will only grow if they are forced too! Otherwise, we would all have huge legs just from walking around all day. Our weight lifting routine LOOKS easy on paper, since you are only doing one set per exercise. Trust me, if you go to failure on each exercise, you will be more physically exhausted than ever before. Usually, a person works just one or two muscles groups. They walk out of the gym with burning biceps or triceps. You will walk out with every muscle screaming at you.
As you may have heard, nutrition accounts for at least 70% of your success. Try to build a brick house without bricks! It ain't happening. Your body can not build without building blocks like protein. Your body must also have a positive calorie balance so that your body is in weight gaining mode. The important thing is to be sure that you are getting enough calories and protein. If you aren't gaining, up your calories until you are. You should not be gaining fat, so cut your calories down if your bodyfat percentage starts to rise.
It is recommended that you keep your cardio down while doing this size gaining routine. This is a bulking workout to use when you want to gain muscle mass. The more calories and energy you put towards cardio or other types of exercise, the less ability your body will have to grow muscle. If you must do cardio, keep it to no more than 20 minutes at a time, three days per week. Save the cardio for your cutting cycle! ------------------------------------------------------------ Need step-by-step directions on how to get the body of your
