| Using Leg Extensions as the primary leg exercise in the initial routine is wrong, as this is an isolation exercise and targets just a fraction of the musculature of the legs. The Squat or Leg Press should be the primary leg exercise as these build more mass in the legs when trained on a regular basis and also aid the development of the musculature in the buttocks and lower back. The squat in particular is the main mass building exercise for any bodybuilder, power lifter, olympic lifter and anyone needing to build strength for their sport. Leg extensions are generally used as a definition/finishing bodybuilders exercise, once there is enough muscle on the quads to define! | |

this thing is bullshit from the first thing he says. a good aroibics work out it bringing your heart rate up to about 150 to 180 depending on your fitness leavel and age, and holding that heart rate for at least twenty mins. this properly strenghtens the heart and lung anything shorter than that is just a waste of time

this article was rewritten from the last time i read it, and is now even more inaccurate
high reps with body weight is not going to do anything but tone your muscles
there's no info on diet, etc etc... what is this/

It would be impossible to write something more inaccurate. I echo the comments from above.

I am no expert in weight training - though this article seems like a good start (of course, I may not be informed enough to make a proper judgement).
However, I have a few points to make. Firstly, the article is introduced as a guide focussing primarily on diet, yet diet fails to be mentioned further on in the article. I suggest that the introduction be rewritten, clearly introducing an article focussing on exercise. The article 'How to eat to gain muscle' can be mentioned in the opening paragraph.
More specifically - I was rather confused by the following sentences.
"First you need to start with 3 sets of 20 sit-ups and weekly upgrade by 5. Also do 3 sets of 10 push-ups and increase by 5 weekly."
How often must we do three sets of twenty sit-ups? Three sets a day? A week? A month? Do we upgrade to five sets of twenty sit-ups, or three sets of twenty-five? The ambiguity applies to the second sentence.

Only some of the written material on this page is actually helpful, none-the-less true. I personally only do upper body workouts such as push-ups, pull-ups, and sit ups. These simple workouts are much better than doing what you were told to do on this wikiHow page.

This is titled Building Muscle?
Aerobic workouts burn calories but have no anabolic effects. There are 3 key factors in actual anabolic process.
1. Heavy weight training to stimulate muscles to grow 2. Proper food intake to supply the body with what it needs to grow muscle 3. Sleep to grow the muscle
Jogging, Bike riding and whatever else was listed are great for burning fat and cardiovascular excersise but are very ineffective for building muscle.
Please, if you are looking to build muscle ignore this BS and check out some good information. www.bodybuilding.com has tons of info on this subject, however they also sell the supplements they review, so take it with a grain of salt. Protein supplements and maybe creatine(drink LOTS of water with this) is all you really need.
Why does my opinion matter? I've been a body builder for the past 11 years.

This is a pretty poorly written article. The author probably didn't know much about building muscle to begin with. Theres a better article on "how to build muscle mass".

bullshit, avoid machines and stupid pointless jogging and situps.
If you want to fail do what this article says, I did something similar and seen nothing after 4 months.
To build real muscle you need to do HEAVY compounds with a rep range of 5 reps, and isolation moves with a rep range of 8-12, eat a diet rich in protein, along with a balance of carbs and fat.
Believe this or that, but all I can say is what I'm doing now is making me gain gain, and gain!

to get stronger? simple.
Dont listen to people recommending 4 day splits or isolation techniques. It fucking bullshit. Bodybuilding is NOT about getting stronger its about getting BIGGER and MORE DEFINED muscles, while having strength as an happy side effect.
If you dont want the strength so much, then go do bbing, i.e. splits and isolation routines.
If you want STRENGTH, then do 5x5, 5 sets of 5 reps, aiming to increase the weight on the bar each workout.
This focuses on the big lifts: squats, bench press, deadlift, overhead press.
Keep doing these exercises in the rep and set range stated, and eat well.
6 small meals, with healthy carbs and proteins.
drink lots of water.
do cardio straight after weights.
sleep well.
bear in mind that 5x5, or any strength buidling programs for that matter, wont build as much muscle ,ass as a bbing program. but if the weight on the bar just keeps increasing - would you give a shit?
I think it's pretty good i can already feel it working
