The Triple Shot is a training technique which allows the bodybuilder to stimulate each muscle group from the three most important angles. It’s not a super-set, which is designed for fast blood loading. And it’s not a giant set, designed for complete muscle annihilation. Rather, the Triple Shot is a technique designed to isolate the three largest parts of a muscle group, then delivering the three most effective movements for hitting these areas. The goal, of course, is the most possible muscle group stimulation leading to growth. Let’s check out routines for some of your muscle groups. Chest Flat bench press, immediately followed by incline dumbbell flyes, immediately followed by decline bench press. Keep the weight heavy enough to challenge you for 6 to 10 repetitions on all sets. Back Deadlifts, immediately followed by lat pulldowns, ...

Every ambitious bodybuilder will go into the gym with only one thing in mind. To work those muscle tissues he had planned to work on until they can hold it no more. The mission appears destined for destruction of the muscles, which is far from the objective. The objective is to provide the maximum level of stimulation. This ideal is at the pinnacle of the bodybuilding career. In fact, all the upcoming bodybuilders out there are better advised to take this mission with them at heart every time their mind switches to weightlifting mode. It is the best-known way of tabulating your goals to the extent where you can almost feel the impending success weighing heavily on your muscles. You should tackle the exercise as they come and do not count on the break, which you know will come after a certain ...

There is no shortcut to a successful bodybuilding career. It takes hard work for the goals to be achieved In bodybuilding the challenge is compounded by the need to develop large, well defined and toned muscle groups within a relatively short time. This is a critical objective without which future progress may be rendered impossible. Towards this end, bodybuilding can be looked as of two main benefits: for health reasons and for professional purposes. Whatever your goal is, increasing the muscle groups pays off through working hard. If it is for good looks, muscles are better to look at than layers upon layers of fat. The concern is how to maximize workouts while at the same time employing tactics which yield the best results with minimum hustle and pain. Workouts are at the core of these desirable strategies. For optimum benefits ...

If you made a list of muscle groups and asked bodybuilders to rank them based upon their training intensity, what do you think their answers would reveal? Very likely, if they were completely honest, arms and chest would rank near the very top. Abdominals would be up there too, as everyone digs a sexy six pack. As the list descended, you’d see muscle groups like shoulders, quadriceps, lats, traps, forearms, and calves. Then, most likely at the absolute bottom of this list, you’d probably find hamstrings. Ah yes, hamstrings – the muscle group we rarely see and even more rarely train. Hamstrings aren’t a wildly popular muscle group, even among bodybuilders who are judged upon complete development. Bodybuilders tend to toss in a few sets of leg curls at the conclusion of their quadriceps training ...

Everyone knows about the bar-room muscles. These are the muscle groups trained by the bar-room bodybuilders, the phonies who only enter the gym with the purpose of acquiring big arms and chests. They don’t worry about training back, legs, shoulders, or anything else. They just want to look big in their TapOut shirts to impress someone from the fairer gender in the gym. These muscles are perceived by desirable by society, but they are fairly common among people you see who train even just a small amount. Then there are shoulders. You can’t fake shoulders. You can’t pump up in the men’s room stall and come out, puffed up on the dance floor, and suddenly have big shoulders. Rather, shoulders are a unique muscle group in that they sit relaxed all the time. In ...

Q:  Can I do more work on a muscle group later in the evening, after having worked on it in the morning?  I hear that some people do that. What is the benefit and how should I work out the second time? A: Generally, people will tell you that you shouldn’t do it, but there are some pros who have actually done it with good results, and it’s usually to get in shape fast. Levrone used to do it and people would marvel at how rapidly he got into shape. Recovery is important, but sometimes it’s beneficial to work the lactic acid out from a hard and heavy intense workout from earlier in the day, with some lighter, higher rep work.  This isn’t something to make a habit of, however, because you need to give your muscles a good workout and then leave them ...

Bodybuilding growth doesn’t occur in the gym, no matter how big and pumped you might feel while training. Bodybuilding growth occurs at home in the 24 to 72 hours following the workout. As you sleep, your body uses nutrients from the food you eat to repair your body from the grueling workout and prepare new muscle growth to handle the workload the next time the body is faced with it. Many bodybuilders never achieve their bodybuilding potential, even though they train hard and intelligently and “leave it all on the gym floor”. They neglect the fact that training is only 1/3 of the equation of muscle growth. Nutrition and rest are the other 2/3 of bodybuilding success. However, many don’t realize this until after years of spinning their wheels in the gym, completing the same workouts and looking ...
