Great workout routines that Olympians use

I was reading a statistic the other day that close to 60 percent of Americans are obese and that even more Americans fall into the category of being overweight. Now you might not look at me and call me a gym rat, but in about 2 years I have gained close to 20 pounds of muscle. I went from being a skinny guy to a leaner, more muscular person. By using these varies workout routines that I have done through Men’s Health Magazines, Fitness Magazines, and personal trainers, you too can slim down or bulk up.

For the Arms:
By far the greatest arm exercise that I have found to do that helps in gaining muscle mass in your arm is called the Zotman Curl. In order to do the Zotman Curl, you will need to get to a gym and use a bench that has a flexible angle range. Put the bench on a 45 degree angle so that you back is being angled backwards on a 45 degree angle. By doing this, you isolate your back and forces you to only use the muscle in your arms. Many people who do other arm routines cheat by using their back or by using their back to gain momentum and perform the arm routine. The Zotman Curl only uses your arms and you will see more of an improvement. Ok, now that you have the correct angle, you want to do a bicep curl but make sure that you lower your arms all the way using an underhand dumbbell grip. Once you get to the top of the curl, twist your wrist so that you turn the dumbbell 180 degrees. This forces you to use your triceps muscle. Now, hold the dumbbells slightly above your shoulders for a three second count. You will feel some pain in your shoulders which is fine. After those three seconds, lower the dumbbells back down to your side using the overhand grip, furthering the use of your triceps. Ideally, you want to do 5-7 repetitions in one set and do between 3 to 4 sets. By the time you are done with this exercise you will feel that your arms are bulging out of their socket which is a great feeling to have. To improve your results you want to do a Zotman Curl session 3 times a week.

I am a qualified gym instructor and yes this exercise will work ,if performed correctly and you have progression.try adding 5% weight every 12th workout or vary the type of bicep curl . It is also wise to work the opposite group , the tricep , with dips or extensions. Equally , you can have great arms but if your body fat is to high , no-one is going to see it !

keep at it guys. to get "strong", you have to persevere. sure, you can try to "bulk up" and get some muscle that you can see, or you can try to get muscle that'll last. it's pretty interesting to know that most "body builders" are actually looking at scar tissue. if you try to get crazy gains in a very short period of time, you will ususally damage your muscles. there is a very fine line between pushing yourself to your limit and injuring your muscles. i personally workout a bit more conservatively (don't go to easy; if you don't feel it (the burn), you won't see it (the increased strength/muscle mass)); that way, when i inevitably become and old geiser, i'll still have good muscles (although i may not be as chisled as before).
