training program

[kimpy225]

alright here goes
i want to get a real routine started..
jane was gonna help me out and things got a little messed up. i wish i had the paper she gave me but i really dont remember where i put it.. so maybe you guys can help me out?
a few of you gave me some ideas and i have a few sites that i have looked at, but i really dont know where to start for building a routine that is right for me.
do you think you could help me out?
i get to the gym at least once a week but if i get a good routine down, i can make it 2 or even 3 times a week
cack says full body is good since my schedule isnt clear but i dunno
ok what i do at the gym... leg press, leg extensions, leg curls, rowing things.. i dunno what they are called, pullover, back extensions, ab thing
and i really dont know what
i basically go to the gym and do whatever is easiest and whatever is open
i run sometimes and use the bike sometimes..
but i am pretty much lost
so.. any suggestions?

Good to see you are keen to do some serious training Kim -
I think that 2 days per week should do it if you can manage
You will require some upper body exercises, for starters.

Do you have any goals in mind - i.e gain weight, lose weight, maintain, etc ?

Kimp- You should focus on squat, deadlift and bench, you will get quicker and better results than just doing those isolations.

Just start out easy and light, focus on form, and you can increase as you get better at it.

But I am telling, that nothing is better than these three exercises.

Even for a beginner ?
Do you think perhaps this is something that she should work up to ?
These are the best exercises though.

I dont think that this is enough to summarise a routine.
You will need some rowing movements too.

He has got a point here

Even for a beginner ?

Isn' t that the beauty of a progressive resistance program?

I dont think that this is enough to summarise a routine.

Perhaps add some chins and dips and then it might.

yea thanks guys but i gotta start off easy. form is pretty much what i need to know to start off also
i have to learn the squats and other lifting exercizes because i dont know how to do them. jane (hopefully) is going to come with me and show me how to do them. and she said she can help me.. so YEA! woohoo!
haha im not banned from this forum i just am scared of it
if i do two days, do i have a certain day for upper and a certain day for lower?
does anyone know other lifts too? maybe the ones i mentioned already? or something like that...
haha i dunno
kimmy still lost but thanks for the imput so far

[kimpy225]

ok lets see.. goals..
weight loss would be good.. but i want to become stronger..

Find a big rock like I have and lift it over your head....just don't drop it.


Do you have someone who can teach you the exercises? Like Jane?

I think squats, deads, and bench are fine for a beginner. Just practice form, and start light. Make sure you have someone that knows what they are doing show you and you will be fine. Make it simple at first, dont get too complicated with the workouts (or you may get sick of it). Just start off with the basics squat, bench dead, overhead press; and then add in a couple isolation exercises.

Somehting liker this???

1 - Sqaut, leg curls, leg extensions, calves
2 - OFF
3 - Bench press, overhead press, "pec dek", tricep pushdowns, lateral raises
4 - OFF
5 - Deadlift, chins (assisted if necessary), some sort of rowing motion, bicep curl, rear delts raise
6 - OFF
7 - OFF

This would be fairly quick and you could do some cardio afterwards if you like!!! Just keep it simple, baby steps!! GOOD LUCK, and let us know how it goes.

[kimpy225]

thanks eric! i just need to learn how to do most of those
and yea- jane is going to show me how to do most of those because i am pretty much clueless. i just need a time where she is free to show me.
lol a big rock.. good idea.. but knowing me, i will drop it on my head and i will never be able to workout again!
