Shoulder workout in bodybuilding- Shoulder full workout, Trap workout.

Shoulder workout:

The shoulder is one of the most important body parts which we have to train. The shoulder is the part that is included or involved in every workout we perform. For example, in chest workout, if you don't have a stronger shoulder you will not be able to do bench press with heavier weights hence no serious gains. So training of every part is dependent on the shoulder. Although the shoulder is a tougher one to train, it is very beneficial. It provides strength to other body parts. 
    If you have a stronger shoulder then you become able to keep heavier weight on your shoulder in doing squats. If you have weaker shoulder then you will feel difficult and a cut on it if you try to put heavy for squats. So, here I present to you the best shoulder workout sets to add strength and size to it.

Shoulder workout- Full workout:

The shoulder workout completely focuses on the upper part of your body. This includes shaping and widening of collar, neck, posterior, anterior and lateral deltoid parts of the shoulder. The shoulders give an interactive look when you wear any dress.

Below given are the best and most effective workouts of the shoulder which involves strengthening and widening major parts of it.

Barbell Overhead Press:

 Barbell overhead press is a compound exercise. If it is a compound exercise then it is itself a very effective one. It is very useful in increasing strength and power development. Barbell overhead press is a very explosive type of set. It trains the entire shoulder activating the chest, arms, etc.
        This can be performed by holding a bar with sufficient weight at the atop of your upper chest. After that, pressing the barbell apart from your body over the head squeezing the parts of the shoulder. The barbell shoulder press can be done through the back and front of the head. When it is through back it is called barbell back press and when it is through front then it is called barbel front press. The back and front are usually the variations of the Barbell overhead press.

Anaerobic Exercises- Definition

Anaerobic means without oxygen. So, anaerobic exercises are the exercises that result in resisting in oxygen supply. That is, working to the extent that the muscle fails to receive enough oxygen. In the anaerobic exercise, we perform an exercise that involves the maximum use of strength and energy in a very short time. Anaerobic exercises are usually used for strength development and bodybuilding. Anaerobic exercises are also when we perform the aerobic exercises at very high intensity including the 90% use of heart rate.

Anaerobic Exercises- Benefits

There are many benefits of anaerobic exercises.

- Fat Loss:

Anaerobic exercises are very useful in fat loss and losing weight. Since in these exercises, maximum use of strength and energy is required and it results in rapid fat loss. For example, performing deadlifts results in fat loss by the use of energy generated by the burning of fats.

- Muscle Building:

Anaerobic exercises are also very beneficial in muscle building. Because performing several anaerobic exercises can result in muscle building and development. Fast, explosive, quick bursting of an exercise set can result in breakage of muscle fibers. These muscle fibers when fed and goes into resting state and recovers, result in bigger muscle size and more strong muscles than the last session.

- Increased Muscle strength:

Performing anaerobic exercises also results in an increase in overall muscle strength. Due to the unique habit of the human body of becoming used with the habits and situations faced by it. The body becomes strong and able to withstand the stress the next time once it experiences the stress. For example, if you lift a weight of 10 kgs today, then possibly when you train the same in the next week. The weight of 10 kgs becomes easier or light for you. So, this way you become strong.

- Increased endurance:

As Anaerobic exercises are very effective physical exercises, it also helps us in withstanding different physical inabilities and diseases. A consistent practice of anaerobic exercises greatly helps in advancing endurance abilities.

Anaerobic Exercises- Examples:

There is a large number of ways and exercises to go anaerobic, which you can perform to achieve an outstanding physical level. 

• Lunges: Lunges are lower body workout set. It activates and trains the entire lower body parts, eg, hamstrings, glutes, lower back, etc.
• Squats: These are also lower body workout set. Squat is a compound exercise as it activates and trains more than one different parts of the body. It greatly trains the lower body parts such as hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, lower back, and abdominal area.
• Deadlifts: Deadlifts are considered as the king of all compound exercises. It basically trains the entire back, collar, hamstrings, glutes. etc.
• Skipping/Jumping ropes: It is a full body workout set. It trains the entire body at a time.

• Circuit Training: Circuit Training is usually a training method. In this, we perform two or more exercises in a particular set. It is a combination of different exercises. We practice circuit training to achieve the highest failure. To use the maximum strength and energy for a period of time without taking any rest. 

Hence, in this article, I have explained about the anaerobic exercises. Its definition, the useful benefits of performing these exercises. And the list of some of the most effective anaerobic exercises.

Deadlift workout for beginners, importance, types and variations.

Deadlifts:
             First of all, if you don't have deadlift in your plan then you need to add it for sure. The reason why you need to add deadlifts into your plan, I m going to discuss it in this article.
                    If you want to add slabs of muscles in your body if you want to develop explosive strength and power to your body. And also if you want to develop an impressible physique. Then, performing deadlifts will bring you greater confidence.
                   Deadlifts are by virtue considered as the "Father of all strength building exercises". It is the most effective compound exercise for developing strength throughout the major body parts. Deadlifts add more mass to the body. It is also called by "The king of Mass Builders".
                     Deadlifts increase the upper body as well as lower body strength. It strengthens the lower back, glutes, abdominal region, etc.
The different reasons for performing deadlifts are :
- It requires minimum pieces of equipment. Just a rod and the number of plates according to weight is sufficient.
- Deadlifts provide stability to the upper regions of the body. It helps us to maintain proper posture. It enables straight back and a strong core.
- It is very useful in real life activities like lifting furniture, heavy bucket, etc. Deadlifts are very useful as it enables comfortable lifting of different things from the ground at any angle. It also helps in a decreased rate of injury during daily life activities.
- Deadlifts also help in developing gripping strength. Because holding the rod throughout the lift is an important factor in deadlifts. So, it strengthens the grip.
- It is the better and finest test check the overall strength of a person.



Types/ Variations of Deadlift:

There are various types of deadlifts according to their effectiveness and body part affected:


1.Sumo deadlifts: 

   In this type of deadlift, the feet are placed wider. The feet is placed usually wider than the shoulder, the grip is placed in the middle on the inner side of the legs. This type is very beneficial for developing strengths in beginner bodybuilders and also to a person suffering from back injury. No doubt, it is one of the best to develop overall strength. This type of deadlifts greatly affects the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings.

2.Romanian deadlifts:

   These are also known as stiffed legged deadlifts. In this type, the legs are usually stiffed narrower than any other types. Romanian deadlifts greatly affect the back of your legs and glutes. These deadlifts activate the Hamstrings and glutes. In this, you should not fold the legs throughout the set as this will decrease the involvement of hamstring.

3.Snatch grip deadlifts:

   The snatch grip deadlift is an Olympic exercise. In this, the grip is wide. You have to hold the rod wide and lift and the legs remaining neutral. Snatch grip deadlift greatly affects the upper back, glutes, hamstrings, forearms, etc.

4.Deficit deadlifts:

   In this type of deadlift, the only variation is that you have to place the legs on a raised position. The raised position can be on one or two plates and performing deadlift. You can keep the grip and placement of legs in a neutral position. It greatly affects the lower back, glutes, hamstrings, etc.

5.Chains and bands deadlifts:

   In this type of deadlifts, you just add more weight to the barbell with the help of chains and bands. This is useful in testing the strength when you have no plates left in the gym.

6.Zercher deadlifts:

  This is the special type of deadlift and is one of my favorites. Zercher deadlifts can be very useful when your partner is absent. This is also a very risky type of deadlift. To perform this, you should have strong forearms and back. And also I can say that it strengthens the forearms, entire back and also the lower body parts. This greatly affects and activates the traps, strengthen the abs, glutes, quads and also the biceps.
  In Zercher deadlifts, we place the barbell on our forearms and perform squats. I will deeply discuss this deadlift in my upcoming posts.

7.Hack Lift: 

  We can also call it as reverse deadlifts because in normal deadlifts the barbell is placed in front but in hack lift, the barbell is placed at the back. The placement of the legs and arm grip is normal. Hack lift greatly affects the quads and strengthen it.

8.Jefferson deadlift:

  This type of deadlift in a very risky one. So, it will be better to first learn the proper form then do this. Same way, it is also a very effective type and is very beneficial. Hence, performing this with the right form can benefit you greatly.

You can also get more information about deadlifts by clicking on this link ( deadlifts).

But, keep in mind the selection of a particular exercise or a variation or a type completely depends on your comfort. The exercise which suits the best is the best for you. The exercises which provide injuries to you should not be performed, in any case.

DROP SETS IN BODYBUILDING...

Performing drop sets is one of the most effective techniques to grow muscles. If you are suffering from undergrowth or you find difficulty in muscle growth, then drop set technique can solve your worry.

Drop sets can greatly improve muscle mass, muscle strength, muscle endurance and tasks of functionality. Drop set usage can also increase the hypertrophic response to resistance training.
Drop sets also help in breaking muscle fibres to a greater extent which can enhance muscle growth and development. It is usually performed on weight machines but can also be performed with dumbbells and free weights.

A drop set is usually performed in the last set of any exercise. For example, if you are doing bench press then the first three sets are done normally and the fourth set that is the last set is the drop set.

So, what we really do in a drop set? Normally, these are done in the last set. And also we usually perform the last set with the heaviest weight. Hence, in drop sets, we start with the heaviest weight and perform it until the failure. The failure can be in 4-6 reps or according to your ability. After this, without wasting any time, reduce the weight and continue to repeat till four subsets.
You can reduce the weight by 5-10 kg or 10-20 pounds in every turn.

For example, Let's assume you are performing the bench press.
In the first set, you did with 20kgs.
In the second set, you did with 40kgs.
In the third set, you did with 60 kgs.
Now finally, it is the last set. And in this, you are going to perform drop sets.
Let's assume that you performed 6 reps with 60kgs weight in the third set.
So, In the fourth set, you are going to start with the same weight.
-Perform the maximum number of reps with 60kgs.
- Quickly remove 10 kgs of total weight and start the repetitions to your maximum number of reps.
- Again, remove 10 kgs and repeat.

The drop set can consist of three subsets or four subsets according to your comfort.

BEST TECHNIQUE TO GAIN MUSCLES:---PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD IN BODYBUILDING....

Most of the latest gymmers and bodybuilders are very tensioned that they cannot feel/experience the growth or muscle gain in spite of continuously exercising and working out. So, what is the actual reason; it can be, they don't care proper form or they don't have muscle mind connection or not practicing progressive overload. Challenging yourself would be the most important key point in bodybuilding for progressive results.
One of the most common reason for not achieving good results is performing the same routine, same exercises and with same sets ,reps and volume everyday in the gym, is it not so boring. Most of the beginners fear lifting heavy or increasing the weight from which he had done last because of pain and uncomfortability during recovery period. When you fell pain remember you are progressing.

So, in this article I am going to discuss the most common mistake which decline the achievement of required result, that is, progressive overload.
Progressive overload is one of the most important technique which can be and is used to make better size gain and strength development. It is similar to challenging yourself with greater risk to your next level every time.

What is progressive overload?
This technique simply states that in order to make muscle gains and strength development just increase the work done by the muscles or make the particular muscles work harder than the last time. As human beings become harder and stronger by the experiences. These are also called resistance training.

Let's assume you are performing plane bench chest press and you lifted 20 kgs in your first set. Hence, your chest will grow to this extent and is capable of experiencing the muscle stress produced by this weight. So, know are you going to lift the same weight in the next set or what?
If you lift same weight, it becomes useless hence no gains. You need to lift heavier than the last sets and more heavier in the next set and correspondingly.
This is actually what is progressive overload or resistance training.


Progressive overload has many advantages including, proper muscle gains, strength development, fat loss, body shredding, etc.

STEROIDS GOOD OR BAD?

First of all, what is a steroid? It is a drug, yes, a medical drug. A steroid is a biologically active organic compound. A steroid is not a dietary product. Steroid is a very dangerous product and has so many side effects.
So, if someone recommends you for taking steroid, first confirm if he holds some medical degrees or has done his studies in medical sciences. A trainer can be a sports trainer if he holds a sports trainer certificate, he can be a sports nutritionist if he holds a nutritionist certificate. Therefore, the professionals from a particular field can only recommend the stuffs from his field only. A trainer cannot recommend a medical stuff or drugs in which he don't have any knowledge.
A drug can only be recommended by a person who has better knowledge and certificates in medical sciences.

Like every drug, steroids also have a lots of side effects. So, be careful before taking it. If someone suggests to take steroids never believe or accept unless he holds any medical certifications. And you can meet a doctor or medical associate or MD holder, in regards to it and discuss either to take or not. If a trainer or sports nutritionist recommends steroids then ask him to design your nutrition chart and your workout chart rather than recommending for taking steroids.

Now a days, taking steroids has been considered a shortcut to bodybuilding but it is not really. Taking steroids provides more harm than benefits.

Without doctor recommendation it should not be taken as it can be very risky.
Only a sports trainer who holds medical degrees such as , MD, Dr.MuD, etc... can recommend taking of steroids to their clients.


BE Careful........

AEROBIC EXERCISES- Definition, benefits and examples.

Aerobic Exercises- Definition:

Aerobic exercises are physical exercises of low to high intensity that primarily depends on the aerobic energy-generating processes. Aerobic literally means involvement of excess oxygen to fill up the quick energy requirement by the body during exercises via aerobic metabolism.

Normally, these exercises can be performed from low intensity to gradually increase the intensity.
The best examples of aerobic exercises are medium to long-distance running or jogging, swimming, cycling and walking. These exercises are well known for increasing the cardio muscular activities and hence increasing blood circulation throughout the body.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic exercises:

These two types of exercises generally differ by the duration and intensity of muscular contractions involved, as well as by how energy is generated within the muscle.
According to the recent researches, both aerobic and anaerobic exercises promote the secretion of myokines, which provides benefits including growth of new tissue, tissue repair, and various anti-inflammatory functions, which in turn reduces the development of various inflammatory diseases.
Myokines are usually secreted due to muscle contraction.

Aerobic exercises stimulate the heart rate and breathing to increase but not so much that one can't sustain. Aerobic means "with oxygen" and anaerobic means "without oxygen". Anaerobic exercise is the type where you get out of breath in just a few moments, for example, lifting heavy weights, sprinting, or climbing a long flight of stairs.

While dancing, swimming, biking, walking, kick-boxing, performing cardio using machines in gym(treadmill, elliptical, bike, etc) are examples of aerobic exercises; but they can be anaerobic if they are performed very intensely.

Aerobic Exercises- Benefits:

Aerobic exercises have a large number of benefits. According to the researches, Aerobic exercises hold the greatest number of benefits as compared to any other type of exercise. The different benefits of aerobic exercises are:
- Habitual practice of these exercises may lead to a gradual increase in the total number of red blood cells in the human body, facilitating better transport of oxygen throughout the body.
- It results in improved mental health, also helps in reducing stress and reducing the incidence of depression.
- It also helps in reducing the risk of diabetes as performing aerobic exercises may lead to a decrease in fat levels.
- Aerobic exercises also help in improving circulation efficiency and reducing blood pressure.
- It also helps in strengthening the muscle involved in respiration.
- Performing aerobic exercises can also help in increasing body flexibility and strengthening the muscles involved in performing these exercises, for example, legs and core being trained while running, cycling and cardio exercises.
- Aerobic exercises also help in the increased storage of energy molecules such as fats and carbohydrates within the muscles.
- It also helps in increasing the ability of muscles to use fats during exercises.
- Aerobic exercises also help in lower muscular development, for example, thigh growth by cycling.

Most of the aerobic exercises involve full body workout rather than isolated workouts.

Aerobic Exercises- Examples:

The best examples of Aerobic Exercises include cardio related exercises, running, jogging, jumping, cycling, swimming, etc.
