Routines

As a beginner, starting off will be pretty easy but it will keep getting harder as long as you keep adding weight.

For the first 5-6 months you should do Starting Strength, a simple program that has worked many times.
If you do not like it or whoever knows what problems you might have with it, there are always other beginner programs such as:


Reg Park’s Beginner Routine:


 Workout A:

Back Squats 5×5
Chin-Ups or Pull-Ups 5×5
Dips or Bench Press 5×5
Barbell Curls 2×10
Wrist Work 2×10
Calves 2×15-20

Workout B:
Front Squats 5×5
Rows 5×5
Standing Press 5×5
Deadlifts 3×5 (2 warm-up sets and 1 “stabilizer set”)
Wrist Work 2×10
Calves 2×15-20


Training Schedule:
Week 1: A, B, A
Week 2: B, A, B
Week 3: A, B, A and so forth.




Try to keep good form while doing any of these exercises, and when you stop gaining anything from the beginner routines, you should switch to something more advanced.
