So you want to find out about weight lifting routines do you? No worries, I will tell you as much as I can about the various routines, you can do.
And show you where to get free workouts.
You should know from the start that a proper lifting routine goes way beyond throwing a few workouts together and 'winging it'.
I will explain further in the article, but for now, lets have a look at some of the most effective lifting routines.
Beginner Lifting Routines A beginner is someone with less than 6 months of training experience, or someone how has taken an extend break from training.
If you are a beginner you are best sticking to full body workouts, done 3 times a week, (if you can).
These will give you the best results.
Other forms of weight lifting routines will give you sub-par results, so avoid them for the first 6-12 months.
Once you feel your progress is starting to slow after that time, you can progress to some more advanced.
Volume Training Volume training is probably the most popular type of weight lifting routines around today.
They have been popularised by all the muscle magazines and websites.
They work very well at putting muscle onto your body.
Generally almost everyone gets good results from this type of training, and is definitely something you should try out.
However, as with all weight lifting routines volume training has weaknesses.
You must know how to progress with this type of training properly or your results will stop.
Combining volume training with strength training is a great way to prevent this.
Strength Training Strength training is an often misunderstood form of weight training routine.
It does however give great results.
Having a great strength base is like having a great foundation on which you can build a lot of muscle on.
If you can lift a lot of weight you will be more muscular, this is an often forgotten rule.
Also strength training actually gives you denser and harder muscles.
Many people think that doing higher reps will 'tone up' a muscle.
This is incorrect, it is actually strength training that gives a muscle a firmer denser look (you must have low body fat for this to show).
Weight Lifting Routines Strength and volume training should form around 80 percent of your training, as these give the best results.
There are other various weight lifting routines you can do such as high intensity training, supersets, tri-sets and cluster sets.
These are generally ways of increasing the intensity of your workouts.
They can be used with great effect to get you out of any muscle building plateaus or to shake up your weight lifting program.
They should be used sparingly though.
