So with the school year starting in two days for me its time to put together a workout. I am a n00b when it comes to strength training and I was wondering if any body could suggest some exercises to meet my goals. So the goals are: Explosive Strength Increase Weight Slightly (I'm 66kg) So I Can Move from the bottom of my weight class. I do have a few exercises that I will be using: Monday Deadlifts Rows Wednesday Squats Bench Press Friday Push Ups Inverted Body Weight Rows Bodyweight Squats Kettlebell Swings Diet wise I am contemplating adding whey isolate to the diet Thanks Farr
I'm not a weight lifting "pro" so I would recommend looking at other weight lifting threads. But what have going now looks pretty good.
um... few questions: 1. do you know your current strength level or is this new to you? 2. what other training do you do (please explain in detail, a break down of your week)? 3. whats your nutrition like? 4. how much sleep do you get?
Can I make one suggestion? Monday Deadlift Squats Wednesday Bench press Rows I might try this if I were you. Hitting deadlifts first is a great lead in for squats. Any fatigue you suffer to the upper body will be gone come Wednesday so you'll be able to BLAST your upper body while your legs get a bit of active recovery. Chest and Back was a big favorite among the old time lifters who trained every bit as much for strength as looks. Arnold used to rave about it. It's such an efficient workout, targeting chest, back, triceps, biceps, all three heads of the deltoid, intercostals, lats, core, forearms, medial traps... Thats good stuff right there.
1. So I do not know what my current strength level with weights is but I have been focusing a lot on body weight exercises. 2.
