Solid Foundation Beginners Routine

This workout is a very solid, fundamentals-based for the beginning weight trainer. The program has all the tools you need to start, build and maintain a solid foundation in the iron game.

No matter what your goals are, you need to build a strong base and acclimate yourself to resistance training before you apply more advanced techniques. Your routine should be simple, comprised of almost purely compound movements, plenty of implementation of free weight exercises, and a little more streamlined overall.

Workout 2-3 times a week working the full body…there’s no need for periodization, isolation movements or anything like that. Stick to the basics.

Workout One:
Squats
Overhead Press
Pulldowns
Abs

Workout Two:
Deadlifts
Bench Press
Rows
Calf Raises

Notes: Train consistently 2-3 days per week 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. 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.
