Advanced Bodybuilding Strategies For Men Over 40

I'll never be in the ranks of the top bodybuilders but I love talking to them and finding out what they do differently from the rest of us. Now that I'm in my fifties I get a lot of inspiration from the guys who still workout for three to four hours a day in the gym and are ripped as well as buffed in their fifties and sixties.
 
These guys are not steroid monsters but they are tremendous. They have a lot to offer the guy who trains regularly but not to the level that they do. If you are over 40 and trying to stay in shape, you know how hard it is to do so if genetics is not on your side. If you are someone who is used to working with the large weight for a while and now find that they are too dangerous for your routines without help, you might need to consider doing what the big guys do.
 
Because they train long and hard, they will cover a lot of territory in four hours. Having mastered the basic exercises, they know what machines and exercises work effectively for their body. They know what their chest needs to bulk up fast they how much water to drink and how much rest is needed for effective recovery and muscle growth. They are familiar with pre and post workout nutrients that kick their metabolic rate into high gear.
 
Here are a few ideas you can adopt for your workout and health regimen even if you aren't a massive bodybuilding master. Like any exercise program, be sure to consult a physician before making significant changes to your diet and exercise program.
 
Here's a workout routine that's short and sweet that can be done on any schedule:
As for when to train each body part, you can stick with a 3-day or 4-day split as outlined in the Intermediate-chapter, or go to a 5-day or even 6-day split. Personally, I prefer a 5-day split over the course of a week as outlined below:
 
Day 1: Chest - Triceps - Abs
Day 2: Quads - Hamstrings - Cycling or other aerobics
Day 3: Rest - Walking
Day 4: Back - Abs
Day 5: Calves - Shoulders Cycling or other aerobics
Day 6: Biceps - Forearms - Abs
Day 7: Rest - Walking
 
You can devote about 30 to 40 minutes a day to this program and by managing your rest and recuperation, continue to develop your muscles. When you work each body part, you will benefit greatly by switching up your exercises. If you are used to working with machines for a particular part, take a breather and use the machines and vice versa.
 
Be sure to watch what you eat and maintain a proper food diary for maximum results.

Advanced Bodybuilding Workout Routine For Monster Mass!

As bodybuilders solidify their adherence to the rules of bodybuilding, something starts to happen. They begin to succeed. They grow like they've never grown. Their strength reaches new level, and their bodies reach new sizes. Consistency delivers results. And as results begin to accumulate the body is suddenly able to handle new workloads, and must, in order to continue to grow.

There are two ways a body can be challenged in order to stimulate new growth- Training heavier and training longer. Training heavier is always the goal of beginner and intermediate bodybuilders. But as one reaches advanced levels of bodybuilding, the weights become more and more dangerous, and the body's joints and tendons become more and more susceptible to injury. The alternative to heavier weights is to train longer - up to two hours per body part.

By definition, this is over training. If you have any element of your bodybuilding regimen unchecked, you will fail. Nutrition, rest, and supplementation need to be covered 100% or you are wasting your time. But if you are able to keep all factors completely in check - and increase them when warranted - you might be ready for 120 minute body part training.

For this example, we'll examine a chest routine. Suppose you normally complete 4 sets for upper chest (incline bench press), 4 sets for lower/middle chest (flat dumbbell presses) and 4 sets for chest/delt tie-in (cable crossovers). You complete your workout in about 45 to 60 minutes. You will keep this workout, but add new movements to supplement the target areas. Your new workout would look like this:

-3 Sets Flat Bench Press (Warm-Up & Overall Chest)

-4 Sets Incline Bench Press (Upper Chest)

-4 Sets Incline Dumbbell Flies (Upper Chest)

-4 Sets Flat Dumbbell Press (Middle Chest)

-4 Sets Flat Dumbbell Flies (Middle And Outer Chest)

-3 Sets Decline Bench Press (Lower And Middle Chest)

At this point, you would take your 'recharge' break. If you're done, go home. But if you have it in you to complete the 120-minute workout, eat a piece of fruit, stretch a bit, and complete the workout. Your weights will now be lighter and your rep sets higher (10 to 15 reps per set)

-3 Sets Weighted Chest Dips

-4 Sets Dumbbell Pullovers

-4 Sets Cable Crossovers

-5 To 10 Minutes Of Stretching

This workout is not for the faint of heart. You will be sore the next day. Initially, you may need a day off following this routine for the central nervous system (CNS) to recover. Each week, you should be able to add one more day like this to your training regimen until you're doing 4 to 5 days of 120-minute routines.

Have your post workout nutrition ready ahead of time (whey shake with dextrose) and consume 15 minutes after training with cold water. Hit the showers. Drive home and tackles a very protein-rich, carb-rich meal. Spaghetti and meatballs will beat out a chicken salad any day after this routine. Training for 120 minutes per body part is only recommended for advanced athletes who have all nutritional, sleep, and supplementation bases covered. See if it's right for you!
