You already know, that people having different body types should plan their workout differently as well in order to achieve results faster and exercise more effectively. When talking about delicate correction of physical forms with the help of physical exercises, the three categories described in the article “Ectomorphic, Mesomorphic and Endomorphic Body Types” do not provide enough material to work with. The classification needs to be extended a little bit – here are 6 body types. Continue reading »
It is hard to imagine a female bodybuilder without beautiful, toned up hips. Although hip area is formed with two independent muscle groups, we offer you to work on both of them at the same time, since most of the good exercises load them simultaneously. 
Breasts area is one of the most problematic zones in female body. Many women are mistaken by believing that weight trainings boost the breasts size (i.e. mammary glands). Unfortunately this is not so since mammary glands mainly consist of fatty tissues. On the other hand, you can develop chest muscles located under the breasts. This way you can enlarge the size, the clavicles will not stick out too much, the breasts will be supported by muscles, and they will be lifted a bit and will be more expressive. The exercises practiced for this are quite simple, yet effective. 
As you do cycling in a gym, has it ever occurred to you that the energy you create could be transferred into something more useful than just your sweat. Now your energy could do a lot more. Architect Mitchell Joachim says that his idea could help transfer the workout vigor into another level where it could be harnessed for transportation of people along New York rivers. River gym is a floating human-powered gym that would make a real difference to your workouts. 
Determining your body type means doing half the work towards the perfect figure. Think for yourself, can different “types” really do the same workout scheme? No they can’t, there is no doubt about that! People with different body types react differently to the same training system. An exercise perfect for one person can be useless for the other one. Each type needs a specially designed individual training program. Only such program can provide fast and effective results. Many bodybuilders spend a lot of time for the search of their own training system, but the worst thing is that ineffective trainings destroy the faith in sport and steal motivation. There are three major body types which are called somatotypes. 
Arm bending exercises with dumbbells are easy to do, plus they give a number of options to work on biceps in different ways. The most effective exercises for building up the muscle volume are called basic. Those exercises involve several joints simultaneously as opposed to the monoarticular ones. Most of the classic biceps exercises, however, are of the latter type. 
This exercise has a couple of complexity levels. Let’s introduce a five-point scale for 
You have probably heard about Paddy Doyle - he is currently a respected world champion in full push-ups. He has a wide history of records. Once, he did 4100 push-ups with a 23 kg box tied on his back. A few years back he did 7860 push-ups at some pub. His one-hour record is 1700 push-ups, while a twenty-four-hour one is 37000. Exactly that much, there is no mistake here. Doing push-ups is a great exercise for those who wish to develop the muscle mass, especially for bodybuilders. 
You all have seen those vibration platforms in the gyms, but have probably never used them. Bodybuilders normally spend enough time working out to build different muscle groups. You also plan your day, eat a balanced diet rich in all necessary nutrients and have enough rest to build a really muscular body. But did you know, that vibration tables can also help build muscles? 
In order to have stronger arms, it’s not enough to train only your biceps, which has already been discussed before in the “
There are lots of effective ways to add more inches to your biceps. And here is a workout, which will make your arms bigger and stronger. Others will notice your biceps in the gym, in the street - everywhere. These exercises will help your muscles grow like a pro. 
In order to reach a maximum abdominal development, it’s enough to train them only once or twice a week, but these workouts have to be really hard. Don’t do exercises for all abs areas on the same day: for example, train your rectus abdominis on Monday and your intercostals and serratus on Thursday. Your abs muscles need this time to recover after the hard workouts. Here are some sets of exercises for abdominals, which every bodybuilder should know and do regularly. Make sure, that you do all the listed exercises to failure. 
In order to build a muscular body, one needs things we all have heard of: first, a particular set of exercises carried out regularly to make the muscle work, then nutrition rich in all necessary substances to provide the muscles with energy and, finally, proper rest to “repair” the muscles and joints damaged during intense workouts. But this is not enough to make your muscles grow rapidly. Every bodybuilder also needs stretching, and not only for flexibility. 
When you work out in the gym, you don’t think about injuries, although every bodybuilder has had an injury at least once in their gym life. No one can be sure to avoid injuries during workouts, but there are some rules every bodybuilder should follow when striving for a muscular physic. Knowing and following them may significantly reduce the risk of injuries in the gym. You surely know most of them, but ignore them from time to time. Please, don’t.
