Stop Being Scrawny! You’re Ready For An Intermediate Bodybuilding Routine

September 25th, 2007

Now that you are past the rookie stage in bodybuilding, the next step would be to push things up a notch and take on an intermediate bodybuilding routine.
This is the level where you are no more a beginner and nor are you too
far from becoming a pro. Here are five apt exercises that should be
part of the ideal intermediate bodybuilding routine:

Intermediate Bodybuilding Routine Workout - The Incline Press with a Dumbbell: This exercise is designed to
mainly work you chest while benefiting your shoulders and triceps as
well. Here, you need to lie on an inclined bench at 45 degrees. Next,
bring the dumbbells from your tights to your shoulders. Lift the
weights over you chest with your palms facing forward and then lower
them in a slow manner. Remember to inhale when you lower the weights
and exhale when you raise them.

Intermediate Bodybuilding Routine Workout - The Push Down: This exercise focuses on your triceps, chest and
shoulders. Here you need to hold on to two parallel bars as far apart
as your shoulder width. Then, lift yourself with straight arms,
supporting your entire body. Next, lower yourself to a point where your
elbows are bent but shoulders stretched and repeat this technique for 3
to 5 times per set.

Intermediate Bodybuilding Routine Workout - The Front Military Press: This workout will put stress on your
shoulders and triceps. Here, you need to begin by lifting a barbell
from your shoulder over your head at the full length of your arm. Make
sure you chest and back are straight. You can even do this while
sitting on a bench with your feet apart and flat on the floor. To
conclude a single rep, slowly lower the barbell before raising it again
for the next rep. Do this at least 3 to 5 times per set.

Intermediate Bodybuilding Routine Workout - The Dumbbell Shrug: The dumbbell shrug works on your back a traps.
Here you need to stand up straight with your feet apart. Next, place
your arms at your sides with two dumbbells in your hands. Then raise
your shoulders and slowly lower them. You may also rotate your shoulder
when you do this.

Intermediate Bodybuilding Routine Workout - The Biceps Curl: The biceps curl, as the name suggests, will exercise
your biceps. Here, you must hold the dumbbells with you palms
positioned to face you, then curl the dumbbell from your sides and
bring them up to your shoulders. In this exercise, you must ensure that
you elbows are in a steady position and shouldn’t move from their place
at all. You can also use a barbell instead of a dumbbell.

The above-mentioned exercises are just some of the workout techniques an intermediate bodybuilder
should do and the steps mentioned therein are the correct way to go
about doing them. You can always innovate and incorporate your own
ideas to improve the steps and enhance the effect of the workout. The
basic concept of focusing on one body part at a time is still
applicable at the intermediate level although you can do as many reps
as you want, but remember not to overdo it since you run the risk of
injury that way.

Whatever you do, its recommended that you workout under the guidance
of a bodybuilding professional trainer, since the trainer will be able
to tell you which intermediate bodybuilding routine will give you best results.
