Let me ask you a question-do you want to get high? No, I don't mean the illegal form of high. I mean the natural, adrenalin pumping and problem freeing high? Physical regimens can do that for you. How can workouts help with your problems? Well, in exercise, especially intensive weight training programs, you need to push your body to the limit and it takes supreme mental discipline to execute this properly-leaving you not much brain space to worry for the time being. But more than that, seeing the fruits of your literal labors is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.

So are you ready to get it on? Here are some information on some of the best muscle building workouts that is sure to help you get body in great shape the best possible way. There are two main weight training methods professional trainers use: the high intensity and the periodization training.

The first type of training is probably more painful but will yield faster results. High intensity training is exercising to your maximum capacity in the shortest time possible. Sessions last for only about 60 to 90 minutes twice or thrice a week. As your body develops more and more in strength, you are expected to regularly increase the weight and reps for each set you perform. By utilizing high intensity training workouts, you are putting a big physical demand on your body and the consequence is a better body in a shorter time.

Periodization, on the other hand allows your body more time to get accustomed to the physical strain you are subjecting it to. This method of exercise trains you in phases: three weeks of light training, two to three more weeks of medium training and followed by heavy training. The thrust of this philosophy is to gradually build up your strength and muscle mass over a period of time. By giving your body more time and different levels to work with-- over training is avoided and the body remains engaged with the different phases it has to grow into.

While both high intensity and periodization training have its own advantages; the best muscle building strategy is to get what is most effective for you personally and use it in your workout. Experienced trainers can all attest to a three or four day split workout, this infuses each session with high energy and challenge without too much volume that makes for over training. Vary the weights and drills every so often for maximum productivity.

Here are some exercises specific to each muscle group you can use: Legs- squats (different variations), leg curls, leg presses Back- deadlifts, rope pull downs, seated rows, barbell shrugs Chest- bench press, dumbbell flyes Shoulders- military press, dumbbell shoulder press, seated shoulder press Arms- dumbbell curls, barbell wrist curls, triceps extensions Stomach- crunches, reverse crunches, leg raises

The best weight training programs to have are those that are difficult because you are pushed to push the envelope of your own physical capabilities. Your health, appearance and strength will benefit from a great workout session. Continue to strive for the next level and you won't be disappointed.
