Beginner Weight Routine

This is a basic bodybuilding routine for beginners that promotes strength and growth for the entire body. It hits all the major muscle groups to get the body acclimated to weight lifting,but doesn't use a high number of sets so the body can recover between workouts. It can be done at home with a weight set, bench, and a squat attachment or squat rack.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Exercise Sets Reps
Bench Press 3 10-12
Bent Row 3 10-12
Military Press 3 10-12
Squat 3 10-12
Calf Raise 3 15-20
Chair Dips 3 12-15
Barbell Curls 3 10-12
Crunches 3 20-25

In order to see good results you must remember proper nutrition and rest. Consider eating four or five smaller meals focusing on lean protein, a complex carbohydrate, and vegetables or fruit. Drink plenty of water, and make sure you get at least your eight hours of sleep in twenty four. Remember this is just a beginning routine, but you may surprised how soon you begin to see results.
