Bodybuilding Workout Routine


One bodybuilding workout routine is the push-pull method. This means you do all your pushing exercises one day and the pulling exercises another day. Push-pull is popular because it is easier on the joints. As you get older, your body is more susceptible to tendinitis and other joint problems. In a push-pull workout routine, you will train chest, shoulders and triceps one day, back and biceps the next day and legs and calves the third day. The best chest routine is on the bench press, incline press, flyes and incline flyes. Do about 4 or 5 sets per exercise--actually do this number of sets for all exercises--including the warm-up set. For shoulders, do military presses and lateral raises. There are three types of lateral raises: Front, side and rear lateral raises. In a front lateral raise, you will leave the dumbbell or barbell in front of you with your elbows slightly bent. Lift the dumbbells to each side of you for side laterals, and bend at the waist and lift the dumbbells up for rear lateral raises. Push downs, lying triceps extensions with an E-Z curl bar and overhead extensions on a cable machine are the best triceps exercises.
On back day, start your bodybuilding routine with pull downs on a lat machine. These will help you build that V-shaped back. Bent over rows work the thickness of the back. You can perform these with a barbell or dumbbell. Bend your knees slightly and lift the barbell up to the lower part of your chest, then lower it. When using dumbbells, place your knee on the bench and work one side of the back at a time. Perform hyperextensions or dead lifts for your lower back. Do bicep curls with barbells or dumbbells to build your biceps. And do preacher or concentration curls for building that peak in your biceps.
Squats are the best bodybuilding exercises for legs. You can also do hack squats and the leg press. Finish your leg workout off with leg extensions, leg curls and calf raises. You only need to work legs one a week, so really blast them to develop size. Also, do Roman chair sit ups, crunches and leg lifts for abs several times per week.
You can combine other body parts in workouts, such as chest and biceps, back and biceps, and then do shoulders and legs on separate days. It all depends on your schedule. Another option is doing all upper body exercises one day and legs another.
