Performing weight training to build muscles can take place in many ways.
However, to build muscles efficiently it is always better to use certain particular exercises over others.
I will explain to you and provide you with an example to have a clear idea about what I am talking about.
Using dumbbells to perform biceps curls as an exercise is not as effective as the performing of chin-ups or lunges with biceps curls.
The last two exercises are more effective in stimulating more muscles.
They are more effective in burning more calories which translates into a more efficient exercise for your time spent in the gym, at home, or anywhere else.
You are also doing more of a compound exercise rather than a single-joint exercise that can have an effect on your metabolic rate due to the increased anabolic hormonal production.
So What Are Some of the Effective Weight Training Exercises To Build Muscles I will provide you with two exercises along with the instructions so you can read them and take advantage of them as soon as you can.
Exercise One Squats with Overhead Press Instruction - You will stand about a hip-width apart or a bit wider, and you can either hold a medicine ball (2 to 10 Ibs) or dumbbells - First you will squat down as low as you can go (the lower the better) - And while you are standing up you can simultaneously press the weight over your head to perform the overhead press - Repeat for 10 to 15 repetitions.
You can later increase the weight, or if you are focusing on burning more calories then you can perform a higher number of repetitions.
Exercise Two Tiger Walk This exercise works every muscle in your body including your spleen or maybe not.
It is basic in its nature, but it is powerful to provide results.
Instruction - In this exercises you will get into the push-up position and then start walking with your hands and your feet.
- You have two options to perform this exercise.
You can move the right hand and the left leg at the same time, or you can move the right hand and the right leg at the same time.
- I recommend you try both patterns so you can be good at them.
The way I prescribe this exercise is through time rather than doing a specific number of repetitions.
So, for example: Beginner Level: from 10 seconds to 45 seconds.
Intermediate Level: from 45 seconds to 75 seconds.
Advanced level: longer than 75 seconds.
This Weight Training to Build Muscles will be accomplished with the help of the above prescribed exercises.
Not only that, those two exercises complement each other in terms of stimulating most of your muscles if not all.
