Downloading Your Workouts

I was in the gym last Friday and two guys training there were doing a leg work-out they got off the Internet. They were leg pressing with just three plates on each side, a weight so light it wouldn't even qualify as a warm-up, but they said they needed to reach 30 reps, at least according to the plan they were following. I started inquiring about the makeup of the workout, when one of the guys down-loaded it for me on his smartphone. Sure enough, the mass-building routine started off with leg extensions, but did a drop set of 100 reps before going to a multijoint move (leg presses) for sets of 30. Then it was on to standing leg curls before other multijoint, hack squats. The order of the workout made no sense; the reps were too high to elicit a mass-building effect, and the routine was littered with intensity-boosting techniques that seemed randomly placed.

With thousands of websites providing free workout advice, chances are if you're going online to get your workouts you're rolling the dice with your muscle gains. One guy approached me about a year ago and told me he was writer of the year for a popular bodybuilding website, so I checked over his recent submissions and I honestly threw the heap of papers into the reject pile. My hunch is that the site he wrote for was more attuned to selling supplements than it was in providing good advice. So the bottom line is that tons of websites offer free training advice and articles on working out, but most of the workouts don't really work, those sites are there for one reason and that is to really sell their supplements and products. Most of the time you can get signed up with a gym and at little to no cost a professional trainer can get you on the right path to true and in most cases a faster muscle building system. The trainers can also give you advice as to how much and what kind of supplements you need to take while you work out, because most of the supplements usually don't work or can cause long term problems on your body. If you can't afford a gym membership then talk to somebody who has been lifting weights for a long time and look at how they look from doing so and in most of the time they usually can give you advice on a very effective way on how to build muscle just by working out at home.
