If you are looking for ways to build mass to your muscle, this article will be helpful. No, I am not talking about taking steroid. Let’s build the muscle using the natural way. What is more important is your commitment and do the following things consistently to get huge. Here is 9 things for you to do in a 12-week program.

1) Go for the compound exercises. I know your time is precious. So, do less the isolation exercises like dumbbell concentration curls, triceps kick backs, etc. Stick to bench press, pull-up, squat, dead lift, etc.

2) Do between 8 and 10 repetitions in each set of the compound exercise. If you are able to do 15 repetitions, it is time to increase the weight.(...)

Mun — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:00:55 +0000

With dumbbell lunge, main muscle groups being worked out are front thighs (quadriceps), butts (gluteal maximus), hamstrings, and front thighs (quadriceps). I highly recommend this workout for ladies who want to firm up their thighs and butts.

Steps:

Step forward with one foot. Land on heel then forefoot.(...)

Legs Workout (4) – Seated Calf Raise

Mun — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:44:17 +0000

Calves are one of the most neglected muscles in the lower body. I find it difficult to develop the calve muscles. Probably the daily walking has toughened these muscles to the point where I have to take exceptionally intense training to force them to grow. I use dumbbell, barbell, machine and even body weight for calf workout. For a start, let’s look at Seated Calf Raise which is an isolation workout.(...)
