Train These 5 Muscles for Beginners to Look Bigger

When you're beginner and aiming to build muscle mass, you want to look bigger and more ripped than ever before. Focusing on these muscle groups can have a significant impact. This is 5 muscle groups that will make you look bigger and more badass:

1. Back (Lats)

   Back is the largest muscle group in the body, consisting of many different muscles. It creates the illusion of a smaller waist and a wider overall frame, giving you that coveted V-taper look. The latissimus dorsi, or "lats," are the major muscles responsible for this. Exercises like pull-ups, barbell rows, and lat pulldowns can sculpt a strong and wide lats.

2. Chest (Upper Chest)

   Chest is a favorite among gym enthusiasts for its satisfying pump and impressive appearance. A big, thick chest makes you look rugged and powerful. The upper chest is crucial for the overall appearance of your chest. A full and lifted upper chest adds density and fullness to your chest. Incline bench press, incline dumbbell press, and high-to-low cable flies are effective exercises for isolating the upper chest muscles.


3. Shoulders (Side Delt)

   Broad, rounded shoulders create the desired V-taper silhouette. The lateral deltoid muscles, or "side delts," are largely responsible for shoulder width. Exercises like lateral raises with dumbbells or cables are the best way to build muscle mass on the sides of your shoulders.

4. Arms (Triceps)

   Big arms not only add to the impression of strength but also give a more proportional appearance to your body. The triceps, the muscles on the back of the arms, play a significant role in adding volume to your arms. Sometimes, beginners focus more on training their biceps without realizing this. Triceps are heavily used in pushing movements and some exercises like triceps dips, skull crushers, and triceps pushdowns.

5. Legs (Quads)

   Big legs provide a strong foundation for your body and demonstrate important proportional balance. Gym enthusiasts with small legs are often called "chicken legs" because their legs are small and disproportionate to their large upper bodies. The quadriceps are the muscle group on the front of your thighs. These muscles are highly visible from the front and side, making a big impact on the size of your legs. Some exercises that can make your quads bigger include front squats, leg presses, and isolation exercises like leg extensions.


So Guys...Focusing on specific muscle groups allows you to effectively sculpt a bigger, more muscular, and proportional body. It doesn't mean other muscles aren't important, but these muscles are the primary choices or the first steps you can focus on to achieve the illusion of a bigger body. By combining the right exercises and giving special attention to the chosen muscle groups, you can achieve maximum results in your fitness journey. Remember to always combine these exercises with a balanced diet and adequate rest to support muscle growth and optimal recovery. Let’s make bigger muscle!

The Role of Genetics in Fitness: Can Everyone Build the Same Muscles?

The Moment I Realized the Importance of Genetics When I first started working out at the gym, I had one primary goal: to build a big, muscular body like my favorite athletes. I followed every workout and diet plan with discipline, hoping to achieve the same results. But after a few months, something started to feel off. Reyno, my gym buddy who started at the same time as me, was seeing results much faster. His chest muscles were becoming defined, and his shoulders were growing broader. Meanwhile, my body showed little change, even though we were following the same program.  Frustrated, I finally vented to Reyno. He said, "Maybe my genetics favor upper body development. But look at your legs—they're way bigger than mine."   The Role of Genetics in Fitness This was the first time I truly understood that genetics play a significant role in fitness. Muscle fiber type, fat distribution, and even the shape of muscles are largely determined by our DNA. Some people have...

The Science of Recovery: Why Rest Days Are Essential for Muscle Growth

How I Discovered the Importance of Recovery I used to be the kind of person who believed that the more time I spent in the gym, the faster I’d see results. Back then, I thought “no pain, no gain” was the only rule to live by. If my body felt tired, I simply pushed harder. I even scheduled a full seven days of workouts without rest—it made perfect sense to me at the time. But reality had a different lesson in store. After several months, I hit a plateau. My bench press weights wouldn’t budge, and exercises that used to feel easy became increasingly difficult. My body constantly felt stiff, and the usual soreness that would fade after a day or two lingered for nearly a week. One day, Hafiz, a much more experienced gym buddy, asked me, “When do you rest?” Proudly, I replied that I didn’t need rest days. He chuckled and said, “You know, your muscles don’t grow while you’re working out. They grow when you rest.” That was an aha moment for me. I started digging deeper into the science o...

The Ethics of Fitness Influencing: Promoting Healthy Standards or Unrealistic Expectations?

How I Got Hooked on Fitness Influencers      I still remember the first time I fell down the rabbit hole of fitness social media. There was a famous influencer with millions of followers who kept popping up on my timeline. Their appearance was flawless—sharp six-pack abs, smooth skin, and workout videos that seemed so effortless. I thought, if they can do it, I surely can too. Excitedly, I began following all their recommendations—from meal plans to gym routines. I even spent extra money on the supplements they promoted. However, after months of trying, I noticed little to no significant changes in my body. Frustration started to creep in, and I began to question myself: Is there something wrong with me? Mirza and His Experience with Online Programs      At this point, I met Mirza, a friend at the gym who had a similar experience. He shared how he once purchased a workout program from a well-known influencer. “It wasn’t cheap, but I thought it wou...
