The barbell is a classic bodybuilding and strength training tool for gaining muscle mass. The presence of a barbell and a set of weights allows you to perform many different exercises for all muscle groups of the body – without machines and other equipment. There are five main multi-joint exercises with a barbell – these are squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, military presses, and bench presses (the only exercise of these that requires a bench). Let’s look at how to do them correctly – technique and tips.

In order to build muscle, you need not only regular physical training but also a high-calorie diet. At the same time, to gain muscle without fat, you will have to learn to understand the types of carbohydrates – avoid refined ones and prefer cereals with low GI.

Testosterone is the main male sex hormone responsible for gaining muscle mass, bone density, as well as for the functioning of the brain and the functioning of the reproductive system. The level of this hormone reaches a maximum in 20-25 years – and after 30 years, testosterone begins to decline.

Pull-ups on the bar is a fairly heavy, but effective basic exercise that solves various training problems. The temptation to do pull-ups every day is great because there is hope that this will accelerate the growth of results. Today we will take a look at whether this statement is true.

For beginners who first come to a fitness club, the issue of motivation is not relevant. They are literally “bursting” with the desire to quickly make the figure of their dreams, so the question of regular training and nutrition at the initial stage does not arise.

According to the unwritten rules of bodybuilding, a period of bulking is always followed by cutting, that is, training to get shredded and make those muscles shine.
After all, whatever others may say, along with muscle volume, the amount of body fat also increases. And this worsens the aesthetics and visibility of the muscles.
In theory, cutting is very simple. But in practice, to achieve it, you have to sweat a lot.

You don’t have to go to the gym to work out. For many, home workouts are the starting point. They have their own advantages. At least at the initial stage. But such claims immediately raise a number of questions. And one of the main ones is a suitable training program for gaining muscle mass at home.
