Muscle building and weightlifting workouts tips...

Weight Training

Weight training builds lean body mass or lean muscle mass. The lean body mass consumes an estimated 35 to 50 calories per pound of lean body mass per day. Weight lifting should balance out the working of the muscles during the exercise. One should seek to work the main muscles, the legs, arms, shoulders, chest, back and abdominals while weight lifting. Be sure to choose your weight training programs carefully.

Weightlifting Workouts

The fitness industry is notorious for the endless marketing hype and bogus claims made by the majority of its advertisers, most of whom are only out there to deceive people and make a quick buck in the process. So be careful when looking for a weightlifting workout program.

Weight Lifting

One of the fundamentals of resistance exercise is the principle of progressive overload. Progressive overload means that you increase the workload gradually over time as your muscles accommodate to the resistance with the objective of gaining strength and/or mass. For example, suppose that you've been lifting biceps curls for two weeks with 12 pounds, 10 repetitions, and then at week three, 12 pounds is easy and you can lift more. According to the principle of progressive overload, at this point, you would increase the weight if strength improvement is your goal.

Muscular Failure

The closer and closer that you can come to muscular failure, the more dramatically your body will respond. This time frame is literally measured in single seconds. If you drop the weights 5-6 seconds earlier than the next guy (the margin is probably even smaller than this), you'll be significantly sacrificing your muscle growth.
