mark wahlberg workout for big arms






Mark Wahlberg is one of the celebrities that had many body transformations. In 90's he was known for his body fitness and shredded abs, but now he is well known for his pack of big guns. Cannons. Let's take a look how Mark Wahlberg looked in the 90's:

This is Mark Wahlberg modeling for Calving Klein in the 90's. We can say that Mark was very fit then, so he is now too. But, did you noticed a big difference between photos? Yes, on the first photo (below title) we can see that Mark Wahlberg built big arms that many lifters want to have.



So, how to get big like famous actor Mark Wahlberg? First tip - lift heavy. Mark Wahlberg is a fan of old-school bodybuilding workouts and his focus is on heavy barbell and dumbbells more than on machine exercises. 



Life was not so easy for Mark, just like his workouts. If you want to succeed in anything in life you need to work hard on it. Same goes for building muscle mass. Mark Wahlberg has been lifting heavy weights since the 80's and he acquired techniques from golden era bodybuilders. 



The workout routine that Mark Wahlberg followed to get big for his role in 'Pain and Gain' movie was a 5-day routine. Wednesdays and Sundays were his rest days. In his workout routine, Mark focused on heavy lifting and supersets to build muscle mass fast.

Best Muscle Building Exercises

best muscle building exercises

           

     I guess that you probably already know that Compound Exercises are best for building Muscle Mass, that is clear. I appreciate them a lot more than Isolation Exercises and in order to Gain Muscle and also Lose Fat, your Workout Program must contain a lot of Compound Workouts.


With those exercises, all old school bodybuilders made their body so muscular and strong. Strength is very important too to achieve your muscle building goals so lift heavy and with not so many reps and you will see results. Along with good Hypertrophy Meal Plan and great Hypertrophy Workout Plan you must see results. 





muscle building exercises

















1. Bench Press 


This is my favorite exercise and I always put it as no. 1 in my pushing workouts and my upper body workouts. With Bench Press, you can become more strong and add muscle to your chest primarily and also for your shoulders, triceps, and traps. Muscles that are affected by Bench Press are often most important for most beginners in bodybuilding but you also must give attention to your Upper Back and Lower Back if you want to get the proportional body and also to don't get damaged.

Here is a tutorial on how to do Bench Press correctly and with good form from Buff Dudes YouTube channel:










2. Squat


King of lower body exercises, absolutely. If you want to be big and strong and have the whole body developed you must input Squats in your workout routine. It is good Mass Building exercise, probably the best. What Bench Press is for Upper Body that Squat is for Lower Body. They are both very important.

3. Pull Up / Chin Up


There are many variations of this exercises but the main classification is on Pull Up and Chin Up and the difference between those two is a grip stance, overhand or underhand. Underhand grip, Chin Up, works Biceps significantly more but still is very good for Upper Back. If you can't do many pull ups don't give up, do them on every back workout day in the beginning of training and you will do more and more every time. There is nothing better for big and muscled upper backs and also big biceps than Pull Up or Chin Up.









 Jeff from AthleanX channel on YouTube explains the importance of Pull Ups and Chin Ups for back training and difference between those two. Watch this video and learn to do those two exercises properly and why are they different.




Other important compound exercises:


I consider these three exercises as most important for strong and muscled body and I will just mention some others. But with those three exercises only you can build big muscles and be very fit and strong. Use them separately and also add some weights on the belt or between your legs if you can do many pull ups and chin ups.


Other great Mass Building Compound Exercises are:

  • Military Press (Overhead Press)
  • Dips (For chest or for triceps, also you can add weights)
  • Dead Lifts (Become incredibly strong)
  • Rows (Bent-Over Row, T-Bar Row, Machine Rows)
  • Pull Down Machine (Great for those that can't do any pull up)
  • Lunges

Full-Body Workout Routine for Muscle Mass Gain



GAIN MORE MUSCLE MASS WITH FULL-BODY WORKOUT PROGRAM



full-body workout programs




Split Workout Routines are very famous and many bodybuilders perform split training routines to build a great physique, but Full-Body Workout Programs are forgotten. You maybe don't know, but most of Bodybuilding Legends performed Full-Body Workout Routines to gain more muscle mass and strength and they were doing a lot of compound exercises in their routines.


Split Workout Routines means that you must have at least 4 training days in a week and you have to train almost each muscle group separately, but Full-Body Workout Programs are better for mass building and more strength and you can benefit from these program with only 2 - 3 training days per week. But, Full-Body workouts are harder than Splits and you need to have more rest between training days. You will lose less calories with these Workout Programs than with Split Workout Routines so that mean that you will gain more weight and muscle mass faster.


This workout program is designed to target all muscle group on every training day and you don't need more than 3 training days per week.
