Have you ever wondered how these actors put on or shed off weights for their roles in any particular movie? For instance, it was Bhumi Pednekar in ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha‘ who gained as much as weight for that role.. And had lost kgs after. And the current hot topic is Aamir Khan’s physique for ‘Dangal‘. Talks are, that the actor took steroids dabbed inside the body for achieving such an amazing physique.

Well yes, he did take steroids. Many actors, actresses take it too for any kind of transformations. But why we should loose our minds on this? Its their profession and it varies from movies to movies what their roles demand. As a perfectionist, Aamir must have wanted the perfect physique and that’s why he took steroids. There is a lot to learn from this. For a man aged 51, any kind of transformation isn’t easy. We, common people, think that he is a celebrity.

The main motive for many behind opting for a workout or going to gym is to gain muscle mass. Your workout program play a vital role in building up your muscle mass. But many of us are not able to gain that muscle mass in spite of hard workout sessions. As a gym owner, I have concluded some common wrongs you may have been doing at the gym.

If you think, that just by doing upper body workout or focusing on arms only and neglecting leg workout will help you build your arms-muscles, is not right. Leg-muscles are part of big muscles of body working on these big muscles will in turn help you boost up testosterone level and this will help in overall muscle gain, even the arms muscles. So, neglecting leg workout is a possible for no muscle gain.

Using Smith Machines:

If you want to gain muscles and are stuck to smith machines, its not good choice. Because both of these do not go hand in hand. Smith machines being used for shoulder press, dead lifts , bench press or mainly for squats, will not help you in a long way. Stop using Smith Machines, NOW!

By focusing sole attention on the legs it puts too much pressure on the joints. In a freestanding squat the user’s core and lower back helps to eliminate this kind of pressure. The great thing about the smith machines are that they help with form and are great for beginners, but ultimately the price paid once you increase the weight and make steady progression just isn’t worth it. Once you learn the form it’s best to do the old fashioned freestanding squats and lift on a normal bench. Your body will thank you later.
• BENCH PRESS – In order to reap the benefits of benching you’ll need to engage multiple muscle groups and use your entire body’s strength something the smith bench doesn’t offer. Old fashioned benching works best for overall results.
