Building Muscle Safely and Effectively

By: Jose Freitas

Muscle building demands hard work and enormous discipline. To
build your body you'll have to work extensively with
heavyweights and irons, to guarantee that neither of these have
a prejudicial result on your muscles or hurt you in anyway
you'll have to take some safety precautions. Begin by reading up
a lot of stuff on careful muscle building exercises like those
that teach you about proper weight lifting techniques and ways
to warm up and cool down etcetera. In the next section we'll
talk about some indispensable techniques you must practice at
the gymnasium.

Always start with an appropriate warm up and finish with a warm
down session. Each should take no less than fifteen minutes.
Take five minutes to jog and at the least ten minutes to stretch
your muscles and prepare them for whats approaching and only
then plunge into the work out regime. Do Not forget to go from
low to high. Begin with the lighter weights and slowly move up
to the real heavy weights. Let your muscles get used to to the
idea of lifting weights and prepare themselves to deplete the
bodys strength.

Discover precisely how far you are able to go. No one except you
are able to determine how far you can go, because only you know
what your limitations are. It is advantageous to challenge your
limits but do not exaggerate it and finish straining yourself,
even the best of muscle-builders can cause severe damage to
their body when they are strained.

Remember, muscle building may involve evaluations at
competitions but the process itself is not a contest so you do
not have to prove yourself to anybody. Take your own time to
prepare yourself to take on heavier weights. Just in case you
feel like you're overexerting yourself, just ease up and grab a
lighter weight. Definition and muscle gain is an outcome of
calculated restrain and not uncalculated risks such as those
took in lifting excessively heavy weights.

Find yourself a spotter to see your movements when you're
working with particularly heavyweights. Your spotter should
preferably be of your own strength and somebody who can aid you
with a tough spot in case he sees you submerged in a difficult
situation. To guarantee that they're loyal to the cause however
be sure you act as their spotter also. Most muscle-builders ask
their training partners to spot for them. Spotters are crucial
for getting you out of a particularly tough weight position.
Some people injure themselves while working with weights. If
unfortunately you also experience such an accident your spotter
will aid you, contact the gym staff and take you to the hospital
if necessary. Even if you don't get caught in such a soup your
spotter will help you stay motivated and keep you concentrated
on your present goals. You'll be able to return him the favor by
doing the same for him.

When you get a basic idea of your training program and recognise
the precise forms you should adopt in order to assure that the
program proves good for you start exercising in front of the
mirror to see if you're staying true to the forms you've been
suggested to take.

Some people injure themselves simply by taking the wrong
positions while training. Seeing yourself on the mirror should
keep you from making such errors.
