Best Muscle Gain Workout Part 1
Best muscle gain workout for the Intermediate to Advanced level
We all want to look huge and powerful the question I always get asked on my travels is What is the best muscle gain workout to build muscle?
Well the consensus among the top bodybuilders is you have too lift big to get big, this is where mass building and strength building go hand in hand. If you want muscle gain you need to keep the reps in the range of 5 – 8, any lower than 5 is predominantly strength building territory. The best muscle gain workout to build muscle in the shortest time utilises the half pyramid system, basically the weight in each set rises as the reps come down i.e.
Number of Sets | Weight kgs | Repetitions |
1 | 60 | 12 |
2 | 70 | 10 |
3 | 80 | 8 |
4 | 90 | 6 |
5 | 100 | 5 |
Basic exercises form the basis for mass building. By basic exercises I mean bench press, squats, deadlifts, behind the neck press, tricep press etc. These exercises work the muscles in their entirety increasing muscle mass and improving strength levels. If mass is your goal forget isolation exercises, these are just for shape and detail these include flyes, lateral raises and leg extensions.once you have the mass ok fine start isolation exercises.
