SHOULDER,TRICEPS

i like to start most workouts with about 10 minutes of mobility work directed at the areas I'm going to train. Since we're hitting the shoulders and triceps, we want to "open up" the upper body.

Stretch the pecs, lats, biceps, and triceps (I use a band for this) and work on T-spine extension and general shoulder girdle mobility.

I follow this general warm-up with one set of standing overhead presses combined with an overhead shrug for a set of 15 reps. I've been doing this for several months and it really helps wake up the shoulder girdle.

Perform a classic overhead press, and in the extended position go to an overhead shrug. Lower the bar and repeat 14 times.

I started out with just the bar and moved up five or ten pounds every month, doing this at least twice a week. See the video below for a demonstration.
                                                                           


To be proficient at overhead pressing, you need to feel comfortable standing with your legs straight, pelvis tucked posteriorly, trunk relatively vertical, arms straight with locked elbows, wrists in line with the forearms, and hands in the same vertical line as your ankles.

If you can't do all that, you need to work on your mobility.

As I've seen many people struggle to achieve this position, the main overhead pressing exercise used in this article is the seated dumbbell shoulder press, which most lifters can do successfully.

BUILD MORE MUSCULE MASS ( vegetarian style of diet) AND (non-vegitarian)

1. Get Sufficient Calories The very first thing you must do as a vegetarian bodybuilder is make sure that you get enough calories. If you don't take in enough calories on a regular basis your body is much more likely to turn to incoming protein for fuel and you very well may see a deficit forming. 2. Consume Plenty Of Fruits And Vegetables Second, be sure that you are taking in plenty of fruits and vegetables. These are going to supply you with a high quality source of nutrients as well as all the antioxidant protection to keep your immune system feeling strong    Utilize Nuts For Fuel Another great food that you'll want to take in are nuts. Nuts provide a healthy source of fat and will provide a long-lasting form of energy as well. One handful will significantly boost your calorie intake and help make muscle gain that much easier. Start Adding Peanut Butter Another good way to boost your fat content is to start smearing natural peanut b...

BACK,BICEPS

In the previous blog, we talked about chest exercises. The exercise is done on the very first day of the week i.e. monday. We'll take a look at other types of excercises. Before sharing my biceps routine with you let me remind you that you will need 3 things i.e. discipline, dedication and desire to get big biceps and this applies to every other muscle group you train.                                                                           BACK/BICEPS.  Usually i start my back workout with wide grip pull-ups. The reason behind this is that it is much more challenging as compared to other excercises. It is easier to do it in the beginning as the body is fresh and has plenty of energy. The workout includes supersets, which means you'll do 2 exercises for the same muscle. group, rest a...
