How can you build muscle?

Every man who loves fitness will set a goal for himself and pursue a strong muscular body. Especially in a summer like this, being able to show off your bronze muscles can show a sense of beauty to others. Many men are striving for this, but some people may not really understand how to exercise to have muscles? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. The main methods of developing muscles

The main method to develop muscles is the barbell bench press, and other exercises are auxiliary. Because the size of the muscles trained is directly proportional to the weight lifted. The weight of the bench press barbell is relatively much larger than that of the dumbbells.

It is very difficult to do bench presses or flyes with heavy dumbbells.

Under normal circumstances, if the weight of the bench press reaches 60 kg and 8 to 10 times are done in each set, the chest circumference can be trained to 95 cm. If you use 100 kg for training, your chest circumference will exceed 100 cm and reach 120 cm.

2. Design and Practice of the Bench Press Barbell

When doing barbell and dumbbell exercises, the muscles being trained are mainly affected by factors such as the weight of the bar, the way of holding the bar, the grip distance, the lifting angle, the lifting speed and the number of sets.

The lever must be raised and lowered in the area of ​​the chest muscles being trained (from the diaphragm down to the clavicle up). The chest should be trained from bottom to top and from wide to narrow, that is, first train the lower chest (lying on the side), then train the middle chest (lying flat), and finally train the upper chest (lying on the side). First, use a wide grip, then a medium grip, and finally a narrow grip. Using a wide grip bar will train the width of your chest muscles, while using a narrow grip bar will train the height (thickness) of your chest muscles.

As for the bench press, a short bench is used for the incline bench press (20-30 degrees) and the flat bench press. When pressing, only the upper back touches the bench surface, which can make the chest stand up and increase the unit pressure. Using a seated curved bench (30-45 degrees) for the incline bench press can lift the upper chest and make it horizontal, allowing the barbell to act vertically on the upper chest muscles.

After reading the above content, boys can slightly change some of their previous habits and slowly adjust themselves, so that they can build their muscles faster. Well, that’s all for the introduction. What follows depends on your own efforts. Work hard to build muscles.
