starting out - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

hi ive just started out and i was wondering whats the best exercises to get better upper body stength and what supliments to take to get quick results?

winger · 25-03-2004, 10:16 PM

Bench, squats, deadlifts and pullups. Take in more protein and take some creatine.

to be honest mate i know its hard and we have all been there but you wont get quick results. juat aim for the long haul and you will make steady progress. try to eat good food and stick to the basic lifts like winger said. good luck bro and welcome to the board

good advice from the boys there...

also, to gain upper body size, you need to train legs... so dont think you can escape squatting...

There are loads of exercises that can do the same thing and aren't isolated exercises cos they'll be hitting other body parts at the same time, but here are just a few u may want to try out:

For back:
-bent over rows
-Bent over rows lygin on ur front on a bench
-normal deadlift or stiff leg deadlift

Chest:
-Bench but hold the bar wider
-You can do bench press with the bench at an angle to work the upper chest.
-parallel dips leaning forward
-flyes

Shoulders:
-Lateral raises
-upright rows with barbell or dumdbell
-hold onto two parallel bars and shrug the shoulders (i dont know the name of this exercise)

yeah, as superjoolz says, u should do legs and not just concentrate on upper body. The legs are important as they're connected to the nervous system which will help the rest of the body.

Panthro · 25-03-2004, 11:12 PM

Top stuff from MBF, but you MUST train legs.. so ...

Legs- Squats, stiff leg deadlifts, hack squats.

You WILL NOT get quick results. so dont expect to. BBing takes years of hard work, tough diets, and a lot of dedication.. Expect a decent change within 6 months if you work hard!

Look at this topic.. it is very relevant for you. Diet is the KEY. it is very important.. http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/showthrea...1725&forumid=7

That topic will cover a lot of what you are after...

good luck, and remember, rome wasnt built in a day!

but atleast romans had common sense

if you list weightlifting as a hobby then you should already know the answers to the questions youre asking...

Try this you can modify later. Get the basics. Look around on the board. With little search you will find any question. Diet, Routine, Gear. All is here. If you have a question later then blast away. Look around. Lotts to seeeeeeeeeeee

Look in Articles first.

i think he already knows everything you guys are telling him already......i think he's just having some of what he thinks is fun on the board and wasting time...maybe thats just me though so serious members of UK-m try not to think i'm an asshole for saying this, but i honestly think this guy is just having a laugh...hence his green smilie face and the other 'starting out' post he made 2 minutes after this one about what steroids he needs to take.....

I watched loads of Miami Vice when they replayed it on UK Gold.

"Four thousand street corners in greater Miami, and gumbi here's gotta pick ours"

Classic.

winger · 27-03-2004, 01:24 PM

I remember when Miami vice came out allot of men out here started to wear t-shirts with jackets over them. That is funny. Such a pretty boy with no muscle. Unlike miami797
