A question you’ll find on various fitness and bodybuilding boards is whether you can whole body build muscle with only a pair of dumbbells.
As dumbbells are relatively cheap, easy to store and thus convenient, I am surprised I don’t get this question more often. If we’re able to properly build muscle mass with dumbbells only workouts, that would certainly make life easier for many people.
Are there any benefits to push-ups, and how does the exercise fare as far as muscle building goes?
Almost all of us know how to do a push-up. Some of us encountered it as small children fighting for bragging rights. Some of us encountered a complete lunatic physical education trainer who clearly loved push-ups more than, to him, lesser stuff like.. Life. His wife. Children. Etc.
Whatever good or bad your relationship with push-ups might be, we’re gonna do a little explorin’ on the muscle building capabilities and other potential benefits of the push-up!
I’ve seen this question asked pretty often; “Can I work out two days in a row?”
Usually, the curious guy or gal refers to working the same muscle/exercise/routine two days in a row, more so than just working out two days in a row. A very legitimate question.
Wanting a big strong chest is a common endeavor within fitness. While the same can be said for many muscle groups, there’s just a very powerful look to having a bulging chest protrude from your torso, making the bottom half of your shirt look like a loosely fitted dress.
Unless everything else is severely underdeveloped, having a big chest will help make you look like a tank. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to look like a tank? Adds another layer to the “become a machine” crossfit’ish saying.
Take a glance around any major bodybuilding forum online and you’ll discover just how many young guys feel frustrated with the rate of their biceps growth.
Now, sparing you guys the classic advice on focusing on the triceps – followed by some strangely arbitrary claim of said muscle making up 2/3rd of your overall arm size – i’ll leave that part out and focus just on the biceps this time around.
But more specifically, I’ll be focusing on using a high frequency approach to really stress the biceps!
