The gluteus maximus, or the glutes for short, is the largest, most powerful muscle in the human body, or it should be. Unfortunately, too much time spent sitting and following poorly designed workouts means that a lot of people have next-to-no glute development and are victims of the flat-butt blues .
There ain’t nothing dumb about dumbbells! In fact, armed with nothing but your trusty hand weights, you can train every muscle group in your body, and that includes your forearms. The forearms are one of the hardest working muscles in most bodybuilding workouts. After all, they’re indirectly involved in almost every upper body and many lower body exercises.
Friends don’t let friends skip leg day. But, sometimes, lack of time means that even the most encouraging friends can’t stop you from missing this crucial workout. And as many bodybuilders only train their legs once a week, that single skipped workout can mean that your legs go workout-free for two weeks or more. Is it any wonder that so many bodybuilders have such underdeveloped legs when they only train their quads, hamstrings, and calves a couple of times a month?
There is no denying the effectiveness of gym-based workouts for building muscle and strength. Freeweights and resistance training machines are one of the most convenient ways to overload your muscles and sculpt the body of your dreams. But, not everyone wants to lock themselves away in an air-conditioned room for several hours per week, especially during the summer. You may even prefer to train outside the gym, for example, in your home or garage.
