Training Techniques: Training Up Big Muscles (Part 1)

By Mick Hart

In order to create a highly anabolic environment within the body, it is important that the largest muscles of the body (primarily those that are involved in the squat, deadlift, and even leg-pressing to a large extent, i.e. the muscles of the thigh, hip and lower back) are trained and stimulated to grow. Why? Since these muscles comprise such a large amount of the total muscle mass on the human body, any training stress of sufficient intensity to cause these muscles to grow will also place great stress on the body overall.

These large muscle areas play an integral part regards physiology and mechanisms throughout the whole body. They need support from smaller muscles in order to perform correctly which in turn creates the need for growth and recuperation to be generated in these muscles areas too. Examples of support muscles are the stomach which is needed for digesting the nutrients required by the muscles. This action will increase as the muscles grow so your stomach ends up adapting itself to these new needed requirements as it become more efficient. It is amazing what power training has over our body and just how well it can adapt to new needs.

When a maximum amount of training is applied on these large muscle areas the effect of stress placed on the body is clearly at a high. A highly anabolic environment is then produced throughout the body leading to the production of growth and repair on all muscle tissues that need attention.

The Importance of Protein and Water... It is very important that your body takes in enough proteins and carbs so that it can adapt to training stress. The most popular nutrient diet is through high protein and lower carb level intake, but everyone needs to find out for themselves how their body is better suited.

Also as I have mentioned before, water is a vital component in the diet, and you can't really get enough of it when in heavy training and consuming plenty of protein. Not only does it serve the most important purpose of being the most abundant constituent of muscle (muscle cells are 70% water, with the rest being mostly protein), but large amounts of water also helps to flush waste products from your system, and helps avoid stress on the kidneys in this way.

If You Want To Develop A Wide, Muscular Back...

By Ricardo Daryans

For most aspiring lifters, it's all about building a huge chest and arms. Week after week they slave away on endless sets of bench presses and barbell curls in search of the rippling muscle gains they want so badly. Not surprisingly, those gains never appear in any significant form.

A lot of guys in the gym neglect a really important group of muscles, Back. They maybe do that because it's a muscle you will hardly see it in the mirror or maybe because it's a more stressful training. Maybe just because the most of them don't even know how important is to have a wide, muscular back.

70% of your upper body muscle mass resides in the back area! Nothing can replace the upper body thickening effect of big, bulging lats and a set of wide, tall trapezius muscles. That's how important your back is. I am, of course, talking about the major muscles of the back: the lats, traps, spinal erectors, rhomboids and lower back.

If you want to succed and have a wide back, just follow these simple steps.

1) Deadlifts. I cannot possibly stress the importance of this lift enough. There is not a single exercise out there that can even come close to matching the effectiveness of a basic, bent-legged barbell deadlift. The deadlift will stimulate growth throughout the entire back complex and should be the cornerstone of your routine.

2) A vertical pulling movement. These exercises mainly target the lat muscles and will help you to attain that wide, v-tapered look from behind. You can try with lat pulldowns, v-bar pulldowns and chin-ups.

3) Horizontal pulling movement. For maximum results, stick to a basic freeweight rowing movement. I usually recommend bent over barbell rows, but bent over dumbbell rows are an acceptable choice as well.

4) A shrugging movement. It may not be the most important part of the routine, but it also plays an important role to succed. A basic barbell or dumbbell shrug will be enough for this part.

Okay, let's put it all together Deadlifts - 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps. Overhand Chin-Ups - 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps. Bent Over Barbell Rows - 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps. Barbell Shrugs - 2 Sets of 10 to 12 reps.

Make sure to keep a written record of every workout that you perform, and focus each week on increasing either the weight that you lift or the number of reps that you perform within the given rep range.
