Something For the Beginners

August 5, 2008

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.

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.
