One of the main causes of failure when it comes to gaining weight and building muscle mass is lack of strength. A key basic principle when it comes to weight training and bodybuilding that should never be forgotten is the concept of progressive overload. In other words, you have to constantly be lifting heavy weights to build muscle.

The principle of progressive resistance is the cornerstone of the sport of bodybuilding, and for good reason. Without it we simply will not progress. That's because our bodies have an amazing adaptive ability. If you're pumping 100 pounds on the tricep push-down for 10 reps, it won't take your body long to get used to that level of stress.
Nowadays everybody has started exercising daily to remain fit and fine. Daily exercising session of the men generally includes the warm up session at the starting and then the weight training.
