GROW YOUR MUSCLES WITH
PLYOMETRIC EXERCISES
Plyometric exercises are something you want
to do. Plyometric exercises help your body have
better fast twitch fibers that also help muscles
grow. Plyometrics are similar to ballistic moves
due to the fact that acceleration is required. For
example, when you do plyometric push-ups,
let your hands come off the floor, propelling
your body upward.

BE SAFE WHEN
INCREASING REPETITIONS
You can cut corners a bit when you lift,
although always be safe. If you use more
of your body to get a few extra reps into
your workout then you are increasing the
output of your workout. However, you do
not want to cheat too much. Have a rep
speed that’s controlled. You should always
keep a good posture.
IMPROVE YOUR BICEP CURL
Improve your bicep curl to increase results. You only get half the benefit you
could get from a normal bicep curl, as you likely don’t move the bar beyond the parallel
point during the “up” part of the exercise. However, the strongest portion of curls is the
upper part. Do your barbell curl sitting down to avoid losing the benefit of this exercise.
Muscle building takes a lot more to achieve than buying a gym membership. If you want
to get the right results, you need the right approach. Use the tips you just read to help you
design a muscle building program that will get you stronger muscles as quickly as possible.
