Factors that Influence the Physique of a Bodybuilder

People adopt bodybuilding to achieve better looks and an attractive physique. But this is a fact that not all professional bodybuilders are that much attractive or we can say, most of the professional bodybuilders do not have the attractive looks. We've derived two basic reasons behind the unattractive looks of a body builder are:

First, they are not handsome enough, i.e. an appealing face can make every well-built person more attractive, and a horrible face can turn any muscular body look inferior. So, it’s not just bodybuilding that will help you seek out your problem.

Secondly, professional bodybuilders most often demonstrate an abnormal development in their tissues other than muscles to be built up. This is nothing but a genetic effect. This can also be an effect of extra proteins and steroids consumed. But the final result is different. People can have different types of tissue development with similar workout process. 

For Example:

 The Bat: A V-shaped Body (W-shape, really).

Flex Wheeler: Greatest Curved Physiques of all time

Steve Reeves: Look at the awesome V-shape.

Concluding, there are a number of genetic factors on which physical appearance depends, besides muscle mass and fats. So, you just don’t have to worry and follow these basic bodybuilding lessons:

  • Define your goals and honestly move towards those goals.
  • Work out focusing, “Maximize Muscle, Minimize Fat”.
  • Don’t follow different goals after small time intervals, rather choose a long term specified goal and follow it till the last.
  • Don’t worry about your biceps shape and peak size; it’s your body compatibility that works. You just focus and try to achieve the final goals.

Let us discuss what the experts are suggesting to easily achieve the strong and attractive shoulders. Here’ we have asked a simple question from fitness experts, i.e. “How do you get big shoulders?” and selected out the most attractive answers from all of them. So, let’s see what Tim Berzins and Jason Maxwell suggested achieving the level of the shoulders:

Tim Berzins - “Get Stronger in a Variety of Rep Ranges”
  
Elaborating: Shoulders responds very well to heavy weight, followed by lighter, higher rep training. For heavy lifting, go through the 4 to 6 rep range on composite movements and for higher rep stuff, go through the 10 to 15 rep range using secular exercises.
Make sure to take care of your rotator cuff muscles with very light, very high rep shoulder stability exercises like external rotations, internal rotations, face pulls, etc. Also, be sure to include plenty of mobility work for some tight areas (usually the anterior delts).
Finally, If you yearn for the bigger shoulders, you must get stronger. Make strength gains a priority and you’ll definitely be happy with the final results.

Jason Maxwell – “Focus on the Medial Delts, and the Rear Delts”

Elaborating: Pick one exercise for medial delts, and one exercise for rear delts.
Medial Delt Exercises such as: Barbell Military Press, Dumbbell Overhead Press, Barbell Behind the Neck Press, Lateral raises and Rear Delt Exercises such as: Dumbbell Hang & Swings, Face pulls, Rear delt machine. For medial delt exercises, you’ll need to work on 10 sets of 5 to 12 reps per week.  Or can split it up into 4 sets of 5, 3 sets of 8 to 10, and 3 sets of 10 to 12, and for rear delt exercises, you’ll want to do 300 total reps per week using sets of 15 to 100

So, If you are getting confused about what to take on to achieve bigger shoulders, prior advice is just a click away

Is the Bro Split a Myth? – Lets have an Experiment


Is the Bro Split a Myth



Wana know the very easy steps to get the perfect abs, six packs and jacked muscles?
Nobody has studied as such scientifically, to get the accurate results on bodybuilding workouts that shows the advanced information and satisfactory results. So, there’s is not a single confirmation available on what can be the best possible way to work out if you are a beginner, or have fewer information about this bodybuilding thing. 

Good News!! 

Brad Schoenfeld and his team has recently carried out with a controlled experiment and got a wonderful answer to this query. The experiment continued for total 8 weeks.

In this experiment according to Mr. Schoenfeld, they adopted a total of 19 individuals with an average lifting career of four years. They were divided into two teams and were assigned to do different training protocols with same volume of workout routines.
The First group was total body training group, so they worked all muscles in the same session.
The second group was a typical split body routine, with 2 to 3 muscles worked per session.

The session continued as mentioned below:




As you can easily find, the total body routine included working out all muscle groups recurrently, but on the other hand, split body routine breaks down into chest and back, then legs, then shoulders and arms. Both of these two sessions appraised the hypertrophy in the upper and lower body muscles, but the total body group team has appreciably increased muscle mass in their biceps. Therefore it’s been concluded that the total body group had greater advantage over their routine exercise. 

This Result – “Minimum Efforts  ... Maximum Gain

From the experiment, this has been concluded that the splits are good to include in workout but with frequent repetition sessions in a week, to offer the maximum hypertrophy advantage and to give the most efficient working out experience to a human body.
