Started Rippetoe’s Yesterday
After lots of forum searching and talking to other bodybuilders I learned that I should be doing a full body workout 3 days a week. As opposed to a split routine.
This is because as a beginner I do not really have any muscles yet. So, I need to train my whole body throughout the week in order to gain muscle. After a few months, then I can move onto more isolated muscles (after I found out my weak points.)
Therefore, I have begun Rippetoe’s Strength Training Program. It includes 2 different workouts that are alternated between. Working out every other day.
Workout A
3×5 squat
3×5 BB press
1×5 Deadlift
2×5-8 Dips
3×5 Weighted Sit Ups
3×8 Weighted Hyperextensions
Workout B
3×5 Squat
3×5 Standing Military Press
3×5 Pendlay Rows
2×5-8 chinups
3×5 Weighted Sit Ups
3×8 Weighted Hyperextensions
Last Workout of the Week Only
2×8-12 skull crushers
2×8-12 BB/DB/EZ Bar curls
