Exercise routines for building muscles

There are a lot of reasons why some people who are into fitness like to bulk up. Some think it’s a good look as it shows the world that they are in excellent shape, and the more muscle mass you have, the easier it is to burn fat and calories. Fitness enthusiasts like Gene Bernshtam have narrowed down specific routines you can follow to build muscles through your exercise routine. Here are some examples of those exercises.

Bench press The bench press is an iconic routine involving lifting. Beginners start with as little as 10 kilograms and work their way up through 5 sets of 10 repetitions. This workout increases muscle mass in arms, the chest, and the back.

Incline dumbbell press
This simple exercise is a great way to tone and increase muscle mass in one’s arms, chest, and shoulders. Practitioners often go with 3 sets of 12 repetitions with increasing weight values as they progress over time.

Pull-ups and chin-ups
Pull-ups and chin-ups are some of the more difficult workout routines since they require you to lift your own body weight. Both are usually done in 3 sets of 6–12 repetitions in order to isolate and tone arm, shoulder, and back muscles.

Gene Bernshtam believes that while hitting the gym and doing muscle-building exercises are necessary to gain mass, he stresses that it is equally important to have a strict diet. This is why some people add significantly more protein to their diet to help repair and build their muscles.

Warming up and stretching before workouts get the muscles in shap...

During the industrial age, however, the trend has reversed from city to suburban life due to strict zoning laws dividing living and working areas. The invention of automobile even reinforced this.
