Want to start training for strength? Or being training for a little while but not sure what to do next? The information here is more than enough to set you off on the right direction. It tells you about some dependable programmes and the basics you need to know to run them.
What is a programme and why does it matter? A programme is a plan for what you do in the gym, also referred to interchangeably as a programme. It includes which exercises you will do each day, for how many reps and sets you will do of each exercise and how you will make progress. A routine is important because you need consistency to make progress and you need to be doing the right exercises, reps and sets to achieve your goals. Without a programme you are exercising for the sake of it, that's fine if it's what you want but if you have a specific goal (in this case getting stronger and/or gaining muscle) then you need a routine. As a newer lifter you don't have the knowledge or experience to create your own routine (there's more to it than you think) so it is only sensible to use one written by someone more experienced and that is well proven to work- all of the ones listed here are. |
