Most body builders know that whether you follow a training program especially crafted for you or you follow the common body building programs, there are basic body building principles that must be followed.  One of which is the incorporation of the principle of exercise, rest and progression in your routines.  Following this principle will surely help you achieve your desired body build at just the right duration although there may be some slight changes in the execution and the repetitions of your routine.

The basic body building programs that best apply this principle require the body builder steroid supplements to perform the routines on successive two days and then taking a rest thereafter before proceeding. Below is a program that best applies the principle of exercise, rest and progression.

Day1 Routine: This training routine would consist of the following chest and triceps exercises: (1) four sets of the flat bench press; (2) three sets of the incline dumbbell press; (3) two sets of the dumbbell flyes; (4) three sets of the dips, and (5) two sets of the cable press downs. In doing the bench press, try to increase the weight every after set to make reps of 10, then 8 and then 6. However, the goal here is for you to increase the pounds by 5 pounds for every set which is an application of the principle of progression.  The progression will keep your muscles challenged.

Day 2 Routine: The routine involves (1) three sets of the barbell curls; (2) three sets of the bent over barbell row; (3) three sets of the seated cable row; (4) two sets of seated dumbbell curls; and (5) four sets of the pull-ups.

Day 3: Here comes the twist, instead of doing again your routines, you need to just rest your body so that it can recover from whatever muscle fatigue that it suffered during one of those exercises and to prepare it for more intensified training.

Day 4 Routine: The routine now will focus on your shoulders, your traps and your abs.  This routine consists of: (1) four sets of the barbell shrugs; (2) three sets of the seated barbell press; (3) three sets of the single-arm lateral raises; and (4) weighted crunches and hanging leg raises. Always start it with behind the head exercises such as the barbell press so that it would be more comfortable for you to do the front exercises.

Day 5 Routine: The training routine will consists of the following exercises for your legs: (1) two 2 sets of the leg curls; (2) three sets of the leg presses; (3) four sets of the standing calf raises; (4) four sets of the stiff legged dead lifts, and (5) four 4 sets of the squats.

Day 6 and Day 7: Rest your body again.
