Beginners Strength Workout
September 28, 2006
This is a nice little workout for beginners that will build size and strength rather quickly, provided the newbie stays consistent and doesn’t skip workouts.
You could even do this program if you’re an intermediate or an advanced lifter, because the principles of hard work, maximum intensity and major compound exercises working major muscle groups are all here.
The most important thing is strength and the way to build that is by using major compound exercises that work the major muscle groups. Add to that proper nutrition with reasonable rest between workouts and you have a recipe that practically guarantees success.
Day One:
Squat
Bench Press or Dips
Chins
Day Two:
Deadlifts
Overhead Press
Rows
Notes: Train consistently and use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with. It could be one or two sets to failure, 5 x 5, singles, doubles, triples – anything you want, so long as you’re consistent and work hard. You can also throw in ab work on both days if you so chose. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.
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.
