We’ve all done them before-- the pretty boy workouts. I’m talking about the 20 minutes bike warm ups, the one-arm triceps extensions, and the cable fly’s. These exercises are commonly found in the lifting magazines you read, and as you read and follow along with the exercises you find the buffed up muscle men who you aspire to be.
Ten minutes later, you turn on the TV to a college football game. You notice the sixty plus college athletes on each team and their bulging ripped bodies along with their blazing speed and strength. And again, you aspire to have that body of a college football athlete.
The question is: do you know the difference between the two? What’s the difference between the pretty boy and the college football athlete? Their workout regimens are completely different. Now, whichever way you want to work out is completely up to you in the end. However, I’ll tell you, if you really want to get big you’ll workout like the college football player.
When you see the pretty boys in the gym lifting, they are almost always doing an exercise that attacks only one or two muscles. As they lift, you can tell they may not be putting in 100% into that lift, or maybe they’re talking to one of their friends as they lift. Then they’ll sit down and drink a protein shake. I’m not for one second saying that there are not some pretty ripped guys in the gym who perform these lifts, but I will reveal later why they may not be the best for your body.
On the other hand, you’ve probably never seen a college or professional football player lift unless you’ve been in their gym. When football players lift, they do not sit down. They walk into the gym hyped and completely focused and walk out almost collapsing. They do not wonder around or screw around with others. They move from each exercise like a disciplined army of warrior athletes. They prepare at the highest level and practice at the highest level so that they play at the highest level. This is the mentality you need to have in order to get truly big. Move from lift to lift and work at the highest level and you will receive results of the highest level.
If you decide to work out like the pretty boys, you may or may not reach your goals. I mean, look at yourself now. Are you where you want to be? Have you been working out like the pretty boys? Obviously you have if you’re reading this blog.
Here’s another way to look at it. Most pretty boy workouts attack one or two muscles. If you continue to attack each single muscle at a time, you will decrease movement in your body. Each muscle will individually become too big to the point where you cannot turn your neck, reach backwards facing forwards, or extend your arms to your sides. The reason football players workout the way they do is to increase their speed and strength on the field. If you work out like a football player you will be able to do anything and also look and feel huge.
Have I convinced you? If not, read this again because I’m telling you it’s true. If you really want to get big, work out like a football player.
Shown above is the workout routine LSU performs. Compare their lifts with yours. See the difference?
