Special Announcements

I just wanted to let everyone know that next week I will be posting information on the launch of the Workout Warriors Club site.

I made some major changes to the site even though it was finished and ready to roll out to the public. I will talk about those changes in my post next Tuesday. It’s going to be big and for some of you, it will be just what the doctor ordered in your quest for strength, health and muscles.

Also, I decided to keep the survey up a little while longer, so there’s still time to fill it out and enter the contest. The winners will be announced on August 15th. You can fill out the survey by clicking on this link: Workout Survey.

Until next week, take care and train hard.

The Olympic Workout

In honor of the 2008 Olympic Games kicking off today in Beijing, here is a nice workout involving, you’ve probably guessed it by now, Olympic lifting.

O-Lifting is a great strength builder, provided you learn proper technique. This blog does not have enough space to demonstrate, but if you’re unsure about proper Olympic lifting technique, there are plenty of sites on the Net to help you.

This routine is not for newbies. I repeat: NOT FOR NEWBIES!

In Olympic lifting proper technique is a must. Learn slowly and then when you have a solid foundation under you, go hard and heavy on the Olympic lifts.

For those of you who are grizzled vets with O-lifting experience, here’s a solid workout for you.

The Olympic Workout

Power Cleans
Snatch
Push Press
Overhead Squats

Notes: Notes: Lift 2-3 times a week using whatever set and rep scheme your comfortable with except for squats (do 1-2 sets tops). Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water. Remember to lift heavy and with max intensity.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

Something For the Beginners

Here’s a little routine for the newbies who may be coming on to the blog for the first time.

This is a good program to build a solid foundation in weight training. You can’t go wrong with this. Pound and grind on the basics and you’ll be well on your way to a superstar physique.

The routine is solid, so even advanced guys can get something out of it if they work it with intensity.

Something For the Beginners

Curls
Overhead Press
Bench Press or Dips
Rows
Squats
Ab Work

Notes: Perform this routine 2-3 days per week. The set and rep scheme will be 1-3 sets with 8-10 reps for upper body and 12-15 reps for the lower body. DON’T try going to failure yet if you’re an absolute beginner. Wait 2-3 months until you know how to do the exercises properly. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water. Remember to lift heavy and with max intensity.
