DoubleDbol’s BodyBlog

I’m creating this blog in response to all the messages and comments asking for advice pertaining to lifting and program design. First, I would like to make a point that I’m going to gear toward the beginner and to the newly inducted intermediate lifter. One of the main things you need to remember is to lift with good form and do the right excercises at the right time. Good form is hard to come by at first so I would advise sticking with the machines at a moderate level and light free weight work. I don’t advise going into the gym on day one or even the first couple of months and immediately starting lifting heavy on anything. Our bodies have to undergo what ISSA calls a "training effect" which is the bodies adaption to the fairly newly induced training. Working out like this will cause the bodies stabilizer muscles and core to mature, adapt, and become stronger. I like to compare this to building a strong foundation for a building or a house. No one wanting to put a long term investment in a house or building would build it on a weak foundation or the dirt. After the stabilizers and core have undergone this "training effect" you can start building muscle safe and effectively on your body. This could take up to a few months, and you have to be patient. If you want to be doing this lifestyle for the rest of your life you want to do it right, right from the start. And as always I will answer all sincere questions that are asked to me, I want to make sure you guys don’t hurt yourselves.
