How to Build Biceps and Get Six Pack Abs
There seems to be a surplus of articles that promise a routine that will improve some aspect of your body image.
Do they ever work? Are you satisfied with the result? Maybe, maybe not.
You come across a lot of "Do this arm routine, or chest routine etc.
" Then what? That's the question of the day.
Is it a life time prescription or something you do until you get bored and then it's on to the next...
whatever.
I read a few weeks ago about how you can lose more weight if you increase the pace when you engage in walking as an activity.
Think of it like this: You have 20 to 30 minutes to get in your exercise program.
Why not maximize your time and get physically fit! Imagine getting fit to the point that you could perform 100 consecutive sit-ups, 20 consecutive dead hang pull-ups, 100 consecutive push-ups, 20 consecutive bar dips, 100 consecutive burpees, and 100 consecutive squats? Not a bad level of fitness.
Now, imagine that you eat a fair diet, one that lacks sugar and flour.
So, what do you think your body would look like? Would you have well developed shoulders, triceps, biceps, lats, chest, abs, legs, forearms, and a low body fat percentage? Most likely, and you can accomplish this level of fitness in the same amount of time you spend building big biceps, or trying to get rid of fat under your triceps, or walking for 30 minutes really fast.
So you have to ask yourself a question.
For the next 20 minutes, I can work my biceps and triceps, or, I can perform a compact body weight routine that goes something like this: As many rounds as you can in 20 minutes, perform the following in sequence:
Squats 15 reps followed by Pull-ups 5 reps followed by Push-ups 10 reps = one round Looks easy enough.
How about some analytical observations.
If you are in good physical condition, you can get 20 rounds.
That's 2 seconds per rep.
That amount of effort will yield the following in 20 minutes: 200 push-ups, 100 pull-ups, and 300 squats.
Do you think your biceps and triceps will get worked? You betcha.
So will your abs, lats, forearms, quads, glutes, hams, and shoulders, just to name a few.
Moreover, you will get a ton of neuromuscular activity generated from these compound exercises.
But it doesn't stop there.
These are natural functional movements.
Stuff we do each day.
So, this simple routine will make us functionally stronger.
How important is that? Here's the kicker: You also get a great metabolic conditioning benefit too.
All of this in 20 minutes of physical fitness vs.
20 minutes of biceps and triceps work that yields very little neuromuscular activity, no functional compound movements or metacon benefit.
I kid you not.
Why on earth would you blow 20 minutes trying to build your biceps and triceps when you could do that, and so much more?.
It's time to give compact functional body weight and/or compact functional weightlifting routines a try.
These short high intensity routines will get you fit, take your metabolic conditioning to a level you never dreamed of, and build those biceps and triceps you were after all along.
