The Secret to Muscle Building

Today, I will tell you about resistance training and its importance. Resistance training is essential in any routine. Whether you are male or female. Whether you want to lose weight or gain weight. So I will be telling you which exercises are the most effective. Some are far more effective than others.


Bicep Curls are a good exercise, however, people tend to over emphasize it. Single-joint exercises like the Bicep Curls are better performed at the end of your routine. It is better used as a supplementary exercise and shouldn't the focal point of your routine.

Place more emphasis on multi-joint exercises like the Full Squat which targets the whole body. Always perform multi-joint exercises FIRST before anything else. They are by far the most beneficial and are what your routine should entail.  Squats are not just a leg workout. It is a full body workout.
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
2. Then place the barbell just above the shoulders.
3. Bend your knees and then lower yourself into a squat.
4. Contract the glutes and legs while doing this.
5. Slowly stand back up and repeat for 3 sets of about 20 reps.

Quick Recap
1. Resistance training is necessary.
2. Focus on multi-joint exercises.
