If you are looking to build muscles fast, and safely, there are a few things to take into consideration before you get started. The first is that building muscle size involves higher weights with fewer reps, this will work the muscles harder and when they heal, they will grow in size faster.

Exercise 1 - The Bench Press

This exercise is done by laying flat on the bench with the bar at rest just above the eyes and your feet should be flat on the ground. Taking the bar from the resting position you will lower it down to the chest but not on the chest. This is the down phase and inhaling is important at this stage. When pressing the weight back up your arms should be fully extended with the elbows locked. The down phase and the up phase should both take about the same amount of time.
