Beginner's routines.

I am always glad to help beginers. If you have any specific questions, do not hesitate to EMAIL me Here.

Beginner's routines are somewhat different from the routines that are most effective after you've been lifting for a while. Here is an example of a beginner's routine:

• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Bench Press
• Pull-ups/Bent Rows (Pick one)
• Military Press
• Barbell Curls

Do three or four sets of about 10 repetitions, with weights so that the last repetitions of the last several sets are difficult or impossible. Do this three times a week (say MWF). Rest 1.5 to 3 or so minutes between sets. Do this for about 2-6 months. Then change to a split routine.
