Sohan Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 The free weights are likely your quickest route to muscular gain. Get a good fitness trainer in your area for an hour or two of instruction in bodybuilding, then subscribe to a publication that will provide good lay info on strength training. If you can't afford a trainer and want an effective exercise to enhance your physique, try the barbell bench press. It specifically trains the muscles you refer to and mimics the motion of a reverse punch. Up your protein intake and get plenty of calories and rest. After a couple months, try creatine supplementation for greater gains. Remember, overtraining kills muscle gains so make sure you recover from all of your workouts. Good luck!Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

DJmma Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 well, id say work out every other day, and make sure you get enough protein either from bars/drinks, meat etc. And you may think your bicepts and tris are good, but dont just stop working them, or you will lose them. If you want to widen your chest, id say do flies, and bench press. for shoulders, i take weights and each hand, and raise them to the left and right. then i do the same thing but raise them forward, that works your shoulders. I started working out just a couple months ago, and im 5' 11" 165 lbs, with little fat.
