Return To Bodybuilding Article Archive   Bodybuilding Workout Routine - The Key To Success By Robert R. Taylor When you develop your individual bodybuilding workout routine, you first need to establish which muscle groups youre going to work out and how often youre going to do so. If you establish a bodybuilding schedule that lays out a routine for a week at a time or better, you can build in time for some groups of muscles to be resting and repairing themselves, while you work others. This is especially of benefit to you as you first begin bodybuilding. For example, one of the typical routines might be that you work out three times per week with a day off in between. On Monday, you would work on your chest and triceps, on Wednesday, you would work on your biceps and back, and on Friday, you would work on your shoulders and you legs. The interim days would be for rest and relaxation, so that your muscles can repair themselves. Most common bodybuilding workout routines have 6 to 10 reps on each type of workout. For many bodybuilders, as they increase the weight of their workouts, they actually decrease the repetitions. Using Different Exercises for Different Muscles When you do your bodybuilding routines, remember to work on each muscle group. There are some very basic routines that should be easy for you to follow even if youre just a beginner. For example, you can do squats, leg curls and leg extensions. For shoulders, you could do shrugs or lateral rises. If you do three or four repetitions of these each on the days you have these muscle groups scheduled to be worked on, youll see results in no time. No matter what muscle group workout you schedule or how many reps you do, whats most important to a successful routine will be the dedication that you show when you work out and how dedicated you are to sticking with your plan. Whether you want your bodybuilding routine to actually sculpt you or simply to tone specific muscles, you need to continue with your routine to see the results you want. When you develop your bodybuilding workout routine, youll need to focus on what is more important for you. Whether you need more work on your triceps and biceps than on your chest or back muscles, youll need to stick with it to see results. You can also change your routine to work on new muscle groups as needed. If you work out in a gym with a professional trainer, this can be an additional help to you as you develop your own routine that will work specifically for you.
