Are you a beginner looking to start muscle training? Or perhaps you have worked out before and are looking for a system to ? Or maybe you are an advanced level bodybuilder, looking for some tips to help you breakthrough to the next level? If you are any of these three, you are at the right place, as in this article we cover the top three routines based on your experience. So here we go:
For the beginners - the beginner's break-in routine and beginner level routine:
If you are new to strength training or working out at all, you need to take it easy at the start off. Just starting with a regular workout routine would not work for you. As with anything new, you need to go gradually, and this is exactly what the beginner's break-in routine allows you to do.
When you start working out, you need to start with lighter weights in order not to injure yourself. The important thing in the beginning is to get used to the movements and then to gradually build on the weight as you become more used to the exercises. To start off with, you need to exercise three times a week, or every other day. You will do five exercises - squat, deadlift, bench press, pulldown, and overhead press. Each one is to be done for 3 sets each consisting of 10 repetitions. Now, once you think you have gotten the feel for it, you can go for the intermediate level routine.
For the somewhat experienced bodybuilder - the intermediate level routine:
If you have some experience with bodybuilding, or if you have been utilizing the beginner routine for about 12 weeks, then you can proceed with the intermediate level routine. This routine gives you the opportunity to really challenge your body, so you need to be absolutely confident of your movements. Therefore, only proceed with this routine if you have the necessary experience!
The main difference between the beginner level and intermediate level routines is that you will be putting more pressure on your body. The reason you put more pressure is because muscles grow under pressure. Therefore, your exercises will be more intense - only one set per exercise with maximum weight load will do. You will, however, also need more recovery time - at least two days between workout days. Therefore, instead of three times per week, you will be working out 5 times per two weeks. In other words, if you start on Monday, then goes Thursday, then Sunday, then Wednesday and finish on Saturday.
For the experienced bodybuilder, looking to breakthrough - the advanced level routine:
After you have spend 12 weeks on the intermediate routine, or if you feel that you are an experienced bodybuilder, who needs to start from the most advanced level, then you are at the right place. The advanced level routine is designed to challenge your muscles in the right way that they grow, even if you have had problem with their stagnation. To do that you need to follow a few simple principles.
The advanced level routine follows the gradation we started from the beginner routine to train more and more intensely and less and less often. Through heavy and intense exercises the body is put under great strain, so it needs a longer time to recover. Therefore, you will be training no more than twice per week and allow 2-3 days to recover. Of course, you should be careful not to injure yourself as well, but do not be afraid to challenge your muscle since you already know your body very well - you are experienced!
It is very important where you start with your exercise routine. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate or advanced level bodybuilder, you need to follow the proper routine.
