Build Muscle Quick

So, how much can you bench? It is one of the most often asked questions by strength athletes and bodybuilders the world over. In fact the amount you can bench is a great yardstick for over all strength and is probably the best way to gain muscle mass on your upper body and therefore the exercise has reached almost mythical status. So in this article we will provide the outline of three time proven tips for increasing your bench press.

1) Do Drop Sets. These are really effective for giving your chest a massive muscle burn and really stressing the muscles. To do these quite simply do your bench-press exercise as normal but once you can no longer do anymore reps simply take off a weight disc and bang out as many more reps as you possibly can. Then take off even more weight and bang out as many more reps as you can physically do. Keep reducing the weight on the bar in this style until their is no weight left on the bar or until you cannot complete any more repetitions. This is a highly intense method that will in all likelihood leave you sore for a good few days. Keep your protein intake at a high level to ensure your muscle grow back stronger as soon as possible and to get rid of the muscle soreness.

2) Stop training your chest. Instead hit your tricep muscles on their own. By doing so you can focus on strengthening your tricep muscle a great deal more. Once you have done this for 3-4 weeks go back to your benchpress and I can you will more than likely beat your previous best. This is because your chest will have had a really good rest period to completely recover from lots of previous training session and also your triceps will now be stronger. Because you triceps take a great deal of the work load during benchpressing it is obvious that you will be able to press more if you strengthen your tricep muscles.

3) Ten Sets of Ten. Indeed Arnold Schwarzenegger was a big fan of this particular technique. Basically you lift as much as you can for ten reps rest and do another ten reps. Continue doing this until you have done ten sets consisting of ten reps each. You will have to reduce the weight each time and have to give yourself a two to three minute break between sets. The point of this is to provide your muscle withe some really unique stimuli for growth. Once more expect to be particularly sore for maybe a week or so following this workout but also expect increase your maximum bench-press on your return to the gym. This is perhaps the fastest way to gain muscle on your chest if done correctly nd is great no no nonsense muscle building.

OK, I hope you found that useful so why not go ahead and give those tips a try in your next pecs workout.
