The above diet plan tells us what the weightlifter Martyn consumes every day to maintain his muscular physique. As you can see, Martyn only eats six times per day. He says that there are no secrets to developing large muscles – all you need to do is lift heavy weights and feed your body enough so it grows larger. We know that exercise is important in building muscle, but proper nutrition also plays a role in how your muscle looks – something everyone knows who has ever tried working out or seen an overweight person struggling when they try to climb stairs or run for just five minutes on the treadmill!
Martyn Ford Workout
In order for an exercise routine to be successful it is important to stay hydrated throughout the exercises. It is also important to warm up before every workout, stretch your muscles after every session, and make sure you cool down after each workout as well. To learn how Martyn Ford stays healthy while working out, read his article below.
Shoulder Workout
We need to build up the strongest muscles of our shoulders because they are responsible for lifting the heaviest loads.
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Seated machine press
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Lateral raise machine
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Incline reverse dumbbell fly
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Alternating front dumbbell raise
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Standing machine shoulder shrug
Back Workout
Martyn suggests contracting one’s muscles while doing a back workout.
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Wide grip lat pulldown
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Single arm machine row
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Close grip lat pull down
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Barbell deadlift
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Seated close grip cable row
Chest Workout
Many people believe that the bench press is the only way to build up a muscular chest, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. For strong pectoral muscles there are many types of exercises which need to be mixed together to work in different directions and angles.
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Seated chest press machine
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Flat chest press machine
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Bent over cable fly
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Pec deck
4 sets & 8-12 reps — Incline chest press machine
Leg Workout
As you see in Martyn’s Leg exercises, he begins with the Safety Bar Squat followed by the Leg Press. This is because when we wake up in the morning, we are usually full of energy which makes it a good time for these two exercises.
5 sets & 8-12 reps — Safety bar squat
5 sets & 8-12 reps — Leg press
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Lying hamstring curl
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Seated leg extension
5 sets & 15-20 reps — Calf raise on leg press machine
Arm Workout
Martyn starts off his workout session with a few light exercises for his arms. He does dumbbell curls and straight-bar pushdowns before moving onto the heavier sets. It is important to maintain good form while lifting heavy weights so as not to develop bad habits from which you’ll need to break out of later.
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Triceps rope pushdown
3 sets & 10-15 reps — Standing dumbbell curl
3 sets & 8-10 reps — Alternating dumbbell curl
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Triceps straight bar pushdown
4 sets & 10-15 reps — Standing cable curl
As we see, Martyn is a champion when it comes to fitness. His diet and workout plans are designed specifically for athletes who want to compete at the highest level of bodybuilding. This inspires me because he works hard every day to keep up with this lifestyle.
