Effective Weight Lifting
Exercises For Building Muscle

"Weight Training Exercise Descriptions And Illustrations"



I'm going to be quite honest here, if you want to build muscle, your going to have to lift heavy weight using effective weight lifting exercise and proper form and technique.

There’s no getting around this. If you want to build muscle, you will need to apply the appropriate amount of resistance to your muscles.

You will need to use simple compound movements. Compound movements are weight training exercises that use more than one muscle group to complete a lift.

By using effective weight training exercises, such as with free weights and compound movements, you force your body to work harder.

By forcing your body to work harder, you add more stress to the targeted and supporting muscles.

If you are a beginner, I suggest you use a combination of free weights, machines and body weight exercises. In order to lift heavy, you need to establish the correct form and balance. This takes time, practise and patience.

Building muscle 101 has compiled a database of exercise, which are listed below in order to give you an idea of how each exercise should be performed, complete with illustrations and descriptions.

Now, I've also decided to include video samples of each exercise outlined below. I think it's important that you see, exactly how each exercise is performed. With that in mind, you may want to check out the video exercise page, located at this page:
