Upper body muscle building??

hello at the moment i have a multigym and i use it every day......and a lot a day.....

i am trying to build my upper body so i am doing a lot of bench presses.....high weights with low reps......is this right...

i am also doing triceps pull downs and lat pull downs.....at nights i do 200 crunches and around 150 push ups.......

am i doing the right things to build my upper body......mainly pecs...

finally how long will it take to see a difference in my upper body....i can already lift a heavier weights but i cant see a visual difference

all suggestions are welcome

Answer 1

i once heard something which made a huge amount of sense - "lose the ego, make the gains". basically try dropping the weight to a medium and do higher reps. the difference should be noticable quite soon. this is also good for genuine body strength as opposed to your body adapting to heavier weight. hope this helps

Answer 2

A combination of high weights with low reps (to build muscle mass) and lower wrights with high reps (to tone) that should do it mate

Answer 3

I took my son to the gym today. He put far too much weight on which resulted in bad form... and as a result he wasn't hitting the muscles that particular exercises are intended to target.

If he only would lower the weights and think about the muscle that he is trying to develop with each exercise, then he would see rapid development with all that natural testosterone in his teenage body. It makes all the difference.

Try to choose exercises that extend to a whole body workout... complex moves pick up all the little muscles that support the larger ones thus providing stability.
