The best muscle building can be done in the gym, or at home if you have the appropriate gym equipment. What is more important than where you work out, though, is determining the best muscle building program for your body type, so getting an expert opinion on this is always helpful. In general, though, the best muscle building programs will include drop sets, negatives, flexing and strip sets. Add to these as you see fit, but these should be the basics of your routine.

Use dumbbells to do your drop sets. The way to do it is to start out with the heaviest set of dumbbells you are going to use for your session, and do one set. Then do a repetition with a slightly light set, the next repetition with a lighter set again, and so on. Resting between each repetition is important, but so is pushing yourself a little beyond your comfort zone.

Negatives are the best muscle building technique to add strength to weak bench presses. Start out with the bench press bar high, and slowly bring it down towards your body. Negatives are bringing a weight toward you rather than pushing the weight away from your body, as is the case with most types of weight lifting.

Flexing is another important technique for building strength. Flexing should be carried out between each other type of weight training that you use in your routine - during the periods that you would call your resting periods. Flexing also ensures that you keep your muscles pumped throughout your routine.

Strip sets should always be done at the end of your weight lifting session. Stripping one or two plates from the set while you are performing your lifting routine will help you manage a larger number of repetitions with greater ease.
