Introduction To Bodybuilding Workout

Hello, I havent worked out in years, I'm 37, 6'2 240 lbs, my goal is to lose weight and to strengthen and tone and add definition, i do nit necessarily want to bulk up, where should i start and what should i do? Is the beginner workout where i should start? And if i stick to it and im disciplined with the program and my diet, when should i see results?

are there substitutes I can do for the barbell exercises, and not with dumbbells? the gym I go to is really small, crappy, and has very limited equipment, but it's all I can afford. there literally are no weights excepts for a pair of 5 pound dumbbells. thanks

I started with the beginners three day split, bu i have been dong some research and i have been seeing a common rule of staring with a full body regime

Had back surgery in 2008. What would be best work out for this particular problem. Your help you be greatly appreciated!

Steve, I'm a novice weight lifter and am planning on starting the 8 wk novice program. I also wanted to incorporate a 15 min HIIT routine after lifting. Would this be ok? I'm 6'2 225 lbs and am looking to shed body fat and build muscle.

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone could help, I'm looking for a 3day split routine only using free weights without the use of a bench or machine? Thanks.

Could i replace lying tricep extension with dumbell tricep extension?

I am 23, Skinny male. My weight is 47kg. Is it okay if i follow this schedule?

Should I add cardio to the routine and how long should the cardio routine last.

hi steve
I need to program after program full body

Hi Steve, I'm new to lifting and was wondering if using a shoulder press machine would be ok to start with instead of the barbell shoulder press,

Hy steve
I am a beginner and I've played for a month to all the muscles in the body needed now to a training schedule

so if i were to do this routine in the order of monday-Wednesday-Friday, what would i do saturday and suday? do i just leave for for extra rest days?

I have started to take a kettle ball class at the gym that I go to, I returned to the gym about a month ago. The kettle ball class is pretty much a full body workout, can I supplement the class for two days a week and do this regime on the third? And get the same results? Also can I do cardio on days in between the workout? Thank you for your help.

Hi, I also would like to start this routine, but I am wondering, what should I do to warm up? Some cardio perhaps or first using light weights before an exercise or both? Thanks!

Hi I am trying to lose 20 lbs and build muscle, I was thinking about using the female 12.week ultimate training guide, would this routine be good for me?

Are there any full body workouts that don't require machines?

my gym doesn't have "Leg Curl Machine " do you know an alternative ??

I'm basically a beginner in weight lifting and I wanted to know what would be the ideal workout plan for myself that have a ectomorph body and trying to gain lean muscle mass and how long will I have to be in that workout plan in order to move to a more intense workout plan so I won't get plateau

Is it OK if I do hiking in addition to these exercises?

I need some help badly. I was recently operated on (double bypass)and am presently in rehab. The problem is I need to begin a comprehensive exercise programme to build muscle. The therapists in the rehab centre are not willing (or able??) to set me up with a programme. I realise that I need to begin as soon as I am released from the clinic but I am afraid of going into a fitness studio and just beginning. There are major problems that can very easily arise, not to mention splitting my chest wide open with certain exercises. I understand that I have to be very careful with chest building exercises (I am not allowed to put my arms behind my back for three months). However, I do need to begin a programme asap. HELP!!!!

Hi! I am new to this. I am 5'10" 210lbs. I want to lose weight but gain muscle simultaneously. Is this a good plan to start with? Should I do any cardio? Thx. Anything else you think might help reach my goal. I want to be 185-190 lbs.

How do I determine how much weight to start with? Do I increase the weight with each set?

Steve,

1) Great routine. Thank you.

2) I'm recovering from a inflamed disc in my lower back and do raises on an exercise ball and straight leg dead lifts.. anything you'd recommend in addition or instead of? My goal is to get back to golf and softball... both of which take good back rotational muscle.

Thanks!!

Excellent workout if you're new to weightlifting.

Question, what is a good substitute for leg curl? The gym I go to doesn't have it

I am a beginner and over weight at 280lb and I simply want to know how often and when should I take the of Whey protein. I want to burn fat at and gain muscle mass.

Thanks for the info. I am coming back after a 6 months break. I had worked for 9 months prior to the break. Now this routine looks just fine but the problem is that I do not have any fixed schedule. I might get a week's holiday but then I might have to work for 20 days so fixing a routine is difficult. Can you tell me a routine that will help me to build some muscle at least? Can I do this routine everyday or would it be too taxing? Basically I want to workout everyday so could you please tell me a routine taking into account all the above mentioned factors?
Regards

Just a note to say that I am enjoying the routine. I'm 67 this year and have found I'm doing pretty well with this, except, the crunches. Not a strong stomach and am wondering if I could change those to 4 sets of 10 reps. At least until I can complete that many. I'm just starting week 3 and it has taken me this long to simply do the exercises correctly. Thank you for the routine -

Hey, I was just wondering, is this a good work out build muscle. But I'm not looking lose weight just start to gain some muscle?

Thanks.

I'm on my first week of this program. I work graveyards and I have a 15,30, and 15 minute breaks. I have been doing this routine on my breaks, spread out through 8 and 10 hour shifts. Is it ok to spread these lifts out throughout the night like that? Also, I do you always recommend a day of rest in between days of lifting? I don't have a home gym yet so I only do the routine during my workweek. Thanks for the program!!

Hey there! I want to know is this workout is good for bulking up with a proper diet and protein shakes?

Okay, I'm doing these exercises at home with dumbells, a barbell and a bench, so I cant do the 45 degree leg press, or the front pull-downs.... Are there any exercises i could do instead???

i noticed that its 3 days a week, would increasing the number of days to 5 and leaving two for rest (mon,wed,fri,sat,sun) increase the the speed at which i put the muscle on, while still giving my muscles the rest they need?

When shall i start increasing weight

Please let me know what diet i need to have,and the timing to have the food.i usually hit gym at 8PM
