Weight Lifting For Beginners: Here's What You Need To Be Doing As A Beginner
by Joshua Tapp
Weight lifting for beginners is a subject that MOST of the so-called experts get REALLY, REALLY wrong.
Today, I'm going to tell you exactly what a beginner should be doing. If you follow this advice, your results will be
amazing from the very beginning. You will be shocked at the results... totally shocked.
I'm going to tell you about the weight lifting component -- you really need to signup for our free membership to get access
to all the other guidelines. I'm talking nutrition, rest and recovery, cardiovascular exercise, tracking results, and other
guidelines you need to know.
For example, when you sign up for a FREE membership ... we'll coach you through email and give you all sorts of free stuff.
You'll get a 1-page guide to the best food sources that you can print and leave in your kitchen. We give you all types of stuff like that.
We're glad you've found us ... we'll lead you in the right direction. You now have a trusted source for weight lifting, building muscle,
and burning fat.
Now, let's get started with weight lifting for beginners:
Weight Lifting Workouts 3 To 4 Times Per Week
You need to lift weights every 48 hours or so... this means you can workout every other day OR you can
workout every other day during the week and take off on the weekend.
For example, a weight lifting schedule of Monday, Wednesday, Friday with the weekend off will work great.
Or you can just alternate every other day. If you feel like you need an extra day of rest during the week, definitely take that extra day.
Always leave a day of rest in between weight lifting workouts. Sometimes beginners to weight training believe that more is better. That's not true.
I know because I fell for that when I first started into weightlifting.
Trust me here -- 3 to 4 workouts per week with a rest day in between each workout. That's all you need.
MAX Workout Time Should Never Exceed 1 Hour
One hour is all you need for any weight lifting workout for beginners. There's no need to stay in the gym any longer than that.
If you're working out with the correct intensity, you won't want to stay in the gym any longer than that. The people who stay in the gym for longer than that
are probably just screwing around ... talking on the phone, trying to tell others how to do something, commenting here and there when no one wants a comment, etc.
You need to get to the gym and turn the no BS switch on... work hard and wage war against the weights. Give every set of every exercise everything you have.
Then get out of there and get those post workout meals. One hour is plenty of time and science has even proven that any longer than that can be detrimental to
your results.
Full Body Workouts Are Best Option For Beginners
Weight lifting for beginners -- what type of workout should beginners use?
There really is no competition here. The choice is VERY easy. Nothing beats the full body weight lifting workout. Nothing.
Full body workouts give you over 150 opportunities per year to build muscle and strength. If you're thinking about using a split routine,
you better think twice. You get about 50 opportunities per year to build muscle and strength with split routines.
You get more opportunities to practice the exercises, learn proper form and technique, and make progress.
Even science has proven that the optimal time between workouts for any muscle group is about 48 hours. There's no need to wait several more days
to work a muscle group as you see in almost every split routine.
In other words... split routines suck compared to the right full body workout program.
Focus On Learning These 7 Exercises
The 7 weight lifting exercises MUST be included in weight lifting for beginners. There is no option here. These are the absolute best exercises
for beginners, for intermediates, and for the advanced. EVERYONE should always include these 7 exercises.
BUT these exercises are even more important for beginners... if you focus on learning these from the beginning, you'll make fast progress from the start.
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench Press
- Horizontal Rows
- Overhead Press
- Pull Ups
- Dips
The above exercises make up the perfect weight lifting workout for beginners. There's absolutely no need AT ALL to do tons of isolation exercises.
They are doing next to nothing compared to the exercises above.
Use all your time and energy with the BIG 7 exercises. Don't waste time and energy with isolation exercises. You can use them later on if you want
to improve a certain muscle group BUT do not use isolation exercises at all right now.
Learn Proper Form And Technique For The Best Exercises
Learning proper form and technique is one of your top priorities starting right now.
You will have 3 to 4 chances every week to practice the 7 exercises shown above. Use each workout to get better. Take your time learning the exercises.
Trust me... it's time well spent.
I did certain exercises wrong for several years because I thought I knew what I was doing... well, I didn't. When I finally decided to take the time to
learn the exercises, my strength and muscle mass skyrocketed. It was amazing.
Start out right from the beginning and you won't waste years and years of time as I did.
Increase The Weight Whenever You Complete An Exercise With Proper Form
As a weight lifting beginner, you need to ensure you are lifting with proper form and technique before you start increasing the weight.
Increasing the weight is a sure-fire method of building muscle BUT you need to be lifting weights properly before you start lifting heavier weight.
You'll have plenty of time to increase the weight later.
For now, take your time learning the 7 weight lifting exercises that are THE most important. When you learn proper form and technique first, your results
will be SO MUCH faster.
Weight lifting for beginners MUST employ this strategy. If you don't take the time to learn the exercises before increasing the weight, you can injure yourself pretty
badly in the future. So please take this advice.

Totally Blown Away by the WLC System...
Hi Josh,
Greetings from Australia, mate. I received your WLC Program recently and
have only just got to emailing you (reason being I took quite a while
exploring the entire package!!!).
I have to admit that over the past years
I've purchased many programs via the internet and I can say with complete
honesty that I have *never, ever*, had the pleasure of receiving one such as
yours!!!
I was totally blown away by everything, from the log books, the
big beefy manual, right on through to all those fantastic calculators! It
comes through that you really put your all into the package. I've seen all
those programs which claim to 'lay it all out for you ... paint by numbers
... take you step-by-step', etc.but only one is deserving of these claims
... and it's yours.
I especially found the goal setting information to be
very, very comprehensive and so well laid out. I've read goal setting
books, articles, websites, etc. but never really applied any of it to my
endeavours in the gym.
Your system will have me going after my dream body
with a vengeance, as I will be commencing the program this coming Monday.
In previous years I was a chronic "routine/program hopper"; I'd spot yet
another new system I thought I would follow and away I'd go ... for about 3
weeks if I was lucky!
Despite all that, during some years I'd build a
little muscle, lose a little fat and start looking reasonable, then slack
off. I have a well equipped home gym which includes everything you
recommend.
I have always been good with my meal choices but the bottom line
is I was never consistent with anything!!!!
I have a very strong feeling
all that is about to end - pronto! I'm really looking forward to starting
the program Monday 30th August, and totally looking forward to some *real
results at last*.
Oh, by the way I am 56 years old and my long-term goal is
to have an awesome physique at 60 in comparison to the average one I had at
30.
Thank you once again for putting out such a terrific and very
complete program - I will not have any hesitation in recommending it to
everyone I know.
Cheers,
Gary McDonald
