Building Muscle Mass To Get That Superman Chest

By Emmanuel Palmer


Have you always wanted to look like Superman? The key to achieving that is by building muscle mass. Don't think only a gifted few can only achieve that physique. If you are determined, patient and have a strong sense of discipline, you can build chest muscles as big and muscular as how you want it to be.

Understand that to get big muscles you need to get big first. What does that mean? Eat eat and keep eating. Your calorie intake each day should be around the neighborhood of 3,000 to 6,000 units. Sound like a lot right? Yes it does; but if you're planning on bulking up this is what you need to hit. Load up on healthy food like lean meat, chicken and fish. Take a slice of pie or a few chips once in a while but as a whole you need to keep to the healthier fare.

If you are on your way to building muscle mass, your calorie ratio should be as follows: 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 20% fat. Keep in mind that a gram of fat is equivalent to nine calories while a gram of both protein and carbohydrates are equivalent to four calories.

As soon as you have your food plan in, let us concentrate on the next part of getting a great chest which is the appropriate workout regimen for you. Always start your training with thorough stretching and a sufficient warm up to get the blood flowing to the rest of your body. This prepares it for exercise, even optimizes the condition of your body so it will be prepared for the incoming barrage of physical pain and soreness.

If you are a beginner, start with higher repetitions and lower weights. An example of a program you can use is this: 3 sets, 12 reps of bench press using 40 lbs; 3 sets, 12 reps of dumbbell flyes using 10 lbs; and 3 sets, 12 reps of dumbbell pullovers using 20 lbs. In a few weeks, add to your program by incorporating: 3 sets, 12 reps of incline bench press using 30 lbs; and 3 sets, 12 reps decline bench press using 20 lbs. Keep track of your improvement. Eventually you need to lift higher weight loads and lower your reps.

Remember to change the weights and drills of your workout program to keep it effective. Hit the target area in different angles?this challenges the muscles to grow even faster. Dumbbell flyes especially isolate the pecs to ensure that you incorporate this often in your training routine.

Observe that you do not risk under training your other body parts even if your main objective is to build chest muscles. You don't want to be the man with a barrel chest walking around in chopsticks legs right? Set aside two to three days training the other muscle groups.

So there you go, focus on building muscle mass, eat right and execute the drills in correct form? soon you will get that barrel chest you?ve always wanted. There's only one more tip you need to remember, enjoy! This will be one of your most rewarding experiences yet. Don?t give up and see the fruits of your labor before you know it.
