Before attempting this or any other workout be sure to warm up with dynamic stretching for 5-10 minutes. 

In this workout video you'll see two outstanding exercising that build muscle, burn fat and accelerate metabolism. 

The first exercise is the "Hammer of Thor". This kettlebell exercise is extremely challenging. In addition to building muscle, this exercise also develops core power,  strength and shoulder mobility. 

To perform this exercise grip a light kettlebell with both hands. Hold the bell with a mixed grip. While maintaining a neutral spine and an extra wide stance transfer the weight of the kettlebell to a single arm while simultaneously reaching in the direction of the opposite leg. 

Immediately upon reaching the bottom or your range of motion recoil the kettlbell up and toward the opposite shoulder. Then grip it with both hands again and swing it over the top and behind your head. Attempt to position your upper arms perpendicular to the ground at the peak of the repetition. 

Repeat on the movement on the side of the body. 

The next exercise is a Lebert Equalizer exercise. 

The Lebert Equalizer dip is a movement that develops upper body strength and builds the muscle of the chest, shoulders and triceps. 

To perform this exercise position your shoulders directly over the Equalizer so that your arms are perpendicular in relation to the ground. 

Then lift your legs off the ground, transferring all of your weight to your upper body. Lower your body toward the ground by leaning forward and bending your elbows. 

After reaching the bottom of your range of motion press yourself back up to the starting position. Be sure to lean back and lock out your elbows at the top of the range of motion to fully activate the pectorals and triceps. 

An alternate method of performing this movement involves lifting the knees as high as possible toward the chest at the peak of every repetition. 

Doing this further activates the rectus abdominus, a.k.a. the "six pack".

The best way to build muscle is to first build an understanding of the physiology of muscle growth and the many factors involved in producing changes in body composition.

This makes building muscle at will a real possibility. 

If you know what must happen mechanically and biochemically inside your body to achieve an increase in muscle size and volume, gaining muscle becomes a matter of simply making the DECISION to do so.

In fact, there has been much written about the different ways to progressively overload the muscles of the body with various fitness and weight training techniques.

However, without a very specific biochemical response, building muscle isn't a possibility.

There is a precise hormonal cocktail, so to speak, that must be present in the body if muscle growth is to occur.

Three important hormones involved in muscle building (or the lack of muscle building) include growth hormone, cortisol and testosterone.

Growth Hormone

Growth hormone is a peptide hormone that is released due to progressive overload resistance training. 

Growth hormone also causes the release of insulin growth factor, which causes satellite cell division and proliferation.

Satellite cells are important for the building of muscle because after a resistance training session the trained muscle has been damaged and traumatized. 

The trauma results in inflammation. 

The purpose of the inflammation is to initiate a series of events that repair and rebuild a damaged or traumatized area of the body, in this case, traumatized muscles.

Cortisol

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal cortex of the kidney. It is released during times of high stress. 

Cortisol is also responsible for gluconeogenesis. The production of glucose from sources other than glucose. 

Presence of cortisol in the system is associated with catabolism or muscle protein breakdown - the opposite of muscular hypertrophy.

Testosterone

Testosterone is an androgen (male sex hormone) responsible for the growth and function of male organs and characteristics.

Testosterone has an anabolic (muscle building) effect and occurs in significantly greater amounts in males than in females.

It also increases protein synthesis and the induction of hypertrophy in traumatized muscle mass.

These are just of few of the many biochemical processes that take place in the body after a resistance training session and progressive resistance training program.
