How to Get Massive - Are You Training Your Most Powerful Muscle?

When most people think of powerful muscles, they usually think arms or chest. Some even think of think of the hips and back. And while these muscles are certainly powerful, they are no where near as powerful as the most powerful muscle you have. Your mind.

Yes, you read that correctly. Your mind or brain is your most powerful muscle, and if used properly can do more for your gains than you could imagine.

How? Simple.

First and foremost you cannot under any circumstances accept defeat. When you are in the gym training, you must always give it your best. Think about this for a minute. How many people do you know who have the best genetics, maybe better than the professionals, but simply do not train hard enough? Do not worry about genetics-give it your best.

Second, you must truly and honestly believe that you can do it-that you can be massive and gain huge amounts of muscle. Again, think about this, do you really believe it-or are you just giving it lip service. Arnold (no last name necessary) was a master at this, he would set a goal for himself and then he would go out and achieve it.

A TIP

Most people fail because they set massive goals-things that are not really achievable, like dropping thirty pounds in month. Instead of doing this, set realistic goals, like adding pound to your over head press every other week.

Yes, I know this is a very small goal, but again, set your self up for success not failure. Achieve this goal then set another one and another one.

You know what will happen by the end of the year? All of those one pound gains (or whatever amount you choose) will add up to a tremendous amount. And chances are this will be reflected in your physique in a positive way that you can see in the mirror.

Same goes with your diet and eating plan, if you are trying to gain muscular body weight, try to consume just a little more protein every couple of weeks. Be it half a chicken breast or a protein shake. All of these added good calories will show up on your physique in positive way a little bit at a time.

CONCLUSION

Your mind truly is your most power muscle, but only if you use it.

Start right now by setting a small goal and then go out and achieve it! You will see, one small success will lead to another and then another. Then one day, you will look in the mirror and see the results of all those achieved goals.

How to Build Massive Muscle - The Secret to a Great Back

When you think of the Mr. Olympia contest, what usually comes to mind?

Yes, massive physiques crammed with tons of muscle, but something else too.

Massive and complete back development.

And it should, after all four of the most dominant Mr. Olympia winners of all time had serious back development.

From Arnold to Lee to Dorian and to Ronnie, all four of these champions owned backs that were far ahead of their competitors.

O.K.

So how can you go about building a back like these champions-one that is massive and complete from top to bottom?

Read on to find out how.

SIMPLE IS BEST

One of the reasons, I feel people do not make as many gains as they should, is because they complicate things.

Bodybuilders feel they need tons of exercises in order for things to go right in the gym.

Not true.

THE BACK ONE TWO PUNCH

After a good a warm-up bust out as many sets as you can of either chins or pull-ups-you can alternate between the two if you would like.

Then move on over and do five sets of five on either barbell bent over rows with an over hand grip or with an under hand grip.

Again, like with the chins and pull-ups, feel free to alternate between the two at every other workout as each version works the back slightly differently--just what you want.

A COUPLE OF POINTS

I know some people might be saying, what if you cannot do very many chins with an overhand grip.

No problem.

Just work on doing one or two more at every other workout and before you know it you will be able to do sets of ten to twelve reps in good form-and your back will show it.

Also, some might think that with just two exercises-four if you count the different grips-this cannot be enough.

True, but again, I feel most people over-complicate things.

Do yourself a favor give this routine a try for a couple of months, provided you are working it hard, and then if you feel you need more you can start adding in exercises like dead lifts and the like.

Lastly, once you get used to the rows, feel free to mix up the rep ranges at each workout-for example at one you can do the five sets of five and then at another you can do sets of eight to twelve and at yet another you can try sets of twenty reps.

Each rep range will work the muscles a bit differently so it is a good thing to mix it up.

CONCLUSION

I know the above routine looks overly basic, but trust me, if you really put your head down and work the exercises hard your back will start to develop in ways you never thought possible.
