Now that I have become a personal trainer and have dealt with many clients, I have realized that most people are lost when it comes to where to start when it comes to resistance training. So, I thought I would write a little about what it takes to put a workout plan together.

In the book, he set out some thirty plus principles that he learned from the bodybuilders he knew. The principles can be divided into three categories; principles on how to get the most out of an exercise, principles on how to group your exercises together and principles to help you put an exercise program together.

Everyone always equates big arms with biceps, but what really creates size in the upper arm is how big your triceps are. Triceps gets its name from the fact that it is composed of three muscles, the lateral, medial and long triceps brachii. The biceps are the muscles that pull towards the body. The triceps have the opposite function of pushing away from the body. A fully developed set of triceps create what is called a horseshoe appearance in the arm when they are flexed. You

The human back is an amazing piece of engineering. Just looking at the human spine and seeing how it is joined together makes one wonder how anyone can think that it all came together by chance. Then you look at the muscles that support those bones to allow the body to move in so many ways. The whole back is just a wonder piece of machinery. Unfortunately like any machine, if the back is used incorrectly it can breakdown and become a painful and debilitating issue. That is wh

The muscles that control the movement of the shoulders allow the arms to move in a variety of ways.

The deltoids or delts as they are called in the gym are made up of three muscles; the anterior deltoid, the intermediate deltoid and the post

The Bicep The bicep muscle is a two-headed muscle that help your arms to lift things up. The bicep is probably the most popular muscle on the human body. For a man it can be a point of vanity when he has developed his biceps and can flex them and show them off. There is something satisfying to one self if he can bend his arm and make these muscles pop up into a big ball. Something that says yes, I’m a man. The bicep muscles are just a small portion of the total muscles in a b

When you look at the human body and how it is constructed you can’t help but be amazed how incredibly intricate it has been engineered. For a believer, this is definite evidence of a Creator because nothing like the human body can have been put together so precisely by chance. Psalms 139:14 says, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” Nothing screams out this truth like the engineering of the c
