Bodybuilding Exercises

In this age of 00 strength machines and 00 treadmills, it may surprise readers to learn that some of the best bodybuilding exercises can be performed for as little as 0! That's right, you don't need chrome and glitz to transform your physique. Long before Universal, Nautilus, and Hammer Strength, came on the scene, bodybuilders had been packing on muscle mass by training with good old-fashioned barbells.

Bodybuilding Exercises

The following (in no particular order) are our choices as the top bodybuilding exercises of all time.

Squats

Most authorities consider squats to be the best leg exercise. Period. One set of all out squats will do more for your lower body than 10 sets of leg extensions. Squats are also one of the most natural and basic of all body movements (let's face it how often do you mimic the leg extension in the run of a day!) and target virtually the entire lower body.

Barbell Bench Press

The barbell bench press can be considered squats for the upper body. No pretty machine comes close to what this basic bodybuilding exercise will do for your torso. Long before the Pec deck started taking up space in gyms, bodybuilders were putting muscle mass on their chest, triceps, and shoulders, by training with barbell presses.

Deadlifts

Although long considered a powerlifting exercise, deadlifts are one of those exercises that often get neglected by bodybuilders because they take a lot of effort to do properly. But deadlifts will build you a set of python-sized spinal erectors as well as bestow on you that "no neck" look. They'll also do wonders for your hamstrings and thighs.

Chin-ups

Long before lat pulldowns transformed the way people trained their backs; chin-ups were tops of back bodybuilding exercises. The great thing about chins is that you can do them just about anywhere from a play ground to a basement. Unlike lat pulldowns, chin-ups require you to lift as well as stabilize your body (i.e. keep your body from swaying). This is what makes them so effective.

Barbell rows

If chin-ups widen your back and produce that much-coveted v-taper, barbell rows will give your inner back that dense, thick, meaty look. Unlike the more often substituted T-bar row, barbell rows have none of the balancing removed. You have to lift and balance the weight. There is no pivoting on the floor or being locked in a given plan of motion that may be unnatural for your body.

Seated Barbell Press

This is another oldie but goodie. Training with seated barbell presses will give your shoulders that cannonball look. Seated barbell presses evolved from the old standing press that was so popular with Olympic lifters and bodybuilders in the 1940's and 1950's. They've stood the test of time and you should be doing them.

Barbell curls

It's safe to say that the first exercise performed on barbells when they were invented was a barbell curl. No cable or machine curl will come close to what these babies will do for your biceps muscle mass. They'll also build up a phenomenal set of forearms. So if you want hams hanging from your shoulder joints you must add barbell curls to your bodybuilding exercises.

Lying triceps extensions

Lying triceps extensions, also called skullcrushers, are the triceps equivalent of barbell curls. They're simple, basic, and will bring those horseshoes out for all to admire. So you can fluff with kickbacks or cable extensions or put some serious meat on your arms with this great bodybuilding exercise!

Push-ups

Push-ups go back even further than barbell exercises. Push-ups are the best bodyweight exercise for building the chest, shoulders, and triceps. By changing the height of the legs you can target different parts of the chest. They can also be done just about anywhere, whether the gym or in a hotel room while on the road. So drop and give me 20!

Crunches

Crunches will strengthen your abdominal core. They'll also improve your posture and help protect your lower back. Crunches evolved from sit-ups, but unlike sit-ups they place less stress on your lower back and keep the hip flexors from contributing to the exercise. As with push-ups crunches can be done just about anywhere and should be the primary exercise in your abdominal routine.

Compound Exercises - Bodybuilding Workouts For Men

A lot of bodybuilders isolate several muscle groups as they exercise. If you go to gyms all over the world, you will see men and women sit at several cable machines pulling and pumping iron that isolate the biceps, the back muscles or the triceps. While there is nothing wrong with isolation exercises, compound exercises bodybuilding workouts for men may be a better deal!

Compound Exercises - Bodybuilding Workouts For Men

Compound exercises several muscles at the same time through several joint movements. Isolation exercises, on the other hand, move the body only through one joint. To illustrate this, the best example would be the barbell squat. It is considered as the ultimate compound exercises because it moves the ankles, the knees, the waist, the hips and even the shoulders. As a result, you can say that the whole body is exercised. In comparison to the leg press, only the knees are being moved.

The following is a list of compound exercises: bodybuilding workouts for men.

1. Bench Press. This is perhaps the favorite of a so many bodybuilders. You can choose to do this with dumbbells or with a barbell while lying on the floor. But it would be best if you get a bench and lie there. This exercise focuses on the chest muscles, particularly, the pectorals. It also works the triceps and the deltoids on the shoulders.

2. Military Press. This is a great shoulder exercise that can be performed with a barbell or two dumbbells. It exercises the traps and the rotator cuff of the shoulders. You can do it while seated or standing up by raising the dumbbells or barbell up and down.

3. Deadlift. For a great workout of the lower back, the middle back, the trapezius, the quadriceps, the hips, the glutes, the hamstrings and the forearms, do the deadlift! It is a great compound movement because you need to spread your legs shoulder wide. You need to raise the barbell (or dumbbell, depending on your preference) while relying on the strength of your back instead of your arms.

4. Bent-over Row. This can also be done by a barbell or a pair of dumbbells. This exercise is among the favorite of top professional bodybuilders. It can lead to a great muscular back as well as good biceps and forearms.

5. Pull-ups. This is one of the easiest and best ways of training your back and developing the much-coveted V-shape! All you need is a bar from which to pull yourself up. If you're new to this exercise, it can be very tough. So, you can perform assisted pull ups by bending your knees and placing your feet on a bench or a chair.

Do these bodybuilding workouts for men to achieve muscle gains and a great session at the gym!

Bruce Lee's Body Building Workout and Diet

Bruce Lee created a martial art called "Jeet Kune Do" or the "Way of the Intercepting Fist." However, as well know as he is in the martial arts... he is highly regarded for his physical abilities and ripped physique. The Bruce Lee body has become an icon for what an action star should look like today.

Bruce Lee's Body Building Workout and Diet

Let's face it, audiences are no longer willing to accept an actor who puts on a "Muscle Suit." From Brad Pitt to Will Smith -- it seems every A-list Hollywood actor has been emulating the muscular yet ripped Lee type of physique. What made him great was a combination of his workouts and his diet program.

The Bruce Lee Diet Plan

Lee always consumed a lot of Chinese food which are high in fiber.

Some foods that are high in fiber are:

* Fruits
* Vegetables,
* Breads,
* Beans
* Cereals

These foods are also high in antioxidants and will help cleanse your body.

Like many bodybuilders today, he usually ate 6 times per day. This kept his blood sugar level stable and his metabolism burning at a higher rate. He was also a big fan of keeping his body adequately hydrated -- by and large he drank 11 to 12 glasses of water per day.

In addition, from his bodybuilder friend... learned of the importance of maintaining a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. (Bruce Lee loved protein supplements and would routinely down 1 to 2 protein shakes per day.)

The key to gaining muscle -- besides working out... is in consuming enough protein. Protein makes up anywhere between 15 to 20% of our bodyweight. The bottom line is that protein is indispensable and it's the raw material that is needed to build muscle and other bodily tissues.

Of course, in his day one of the most popular protein supplements was casein. Today, we know that whey protein can keep us in a positive nitrogen balance state easier and quicker than using just casein protein.

The Bruce Lee Workout

His workouts were intense. Even Joe Weider... "The King of Bodybuilding" remarked that Bruce Lee's body was light years ahead of it's time. Bruce incorporated many different components into his workout program. Isometrics, free weights, yoga, and bodyweight exercises just to mention a few. Bruce Lee abandoned free weights really early on in his training. He felt that having big bodybuilder muscles was of no advantage to a martial artist. He focused more on what he referred to as "Functional Strength."

He realized very early on that isometric exercise was able to provide him with superior strength gains. He also used an "Isometric Power Rack" for a while in his training program. If anything defines Bruce Lee it's his ability to think outside the box. His mentality of... "use what works and discard what doesn't" -- has made him an innovator in many different fields.

For example, Bruce used every known isometric exercise device available in his training including a device that was then called the Tensolator. Using isometric exercise equipment was something that he made part of his training routine. And in fact, so have many mixed martial arts practitioners today!
