The base Program
The above chart shows the Body part you are working and a selection of exercises that you can choose for that body part.
When starting a gym training program I recommend an all body workout.
You pick one exercise per body part, and do 1 to 3 work sets.
A Work set is after you warm up and you are pushing yourself hard to complete that set.
Many people train to failure, that is where you cannot lift the weight any more or fail during lifting the weight / repetitions.
Current science is showing that you will probably make the same gains by lifting up to two Reps before failure.
This means if you can lift a weight 12 times, you stop at 10 reps.
Q) Why would I want to stop 2 reps before failure?
A) One of the reasons is this will help with a quicker recovery.
A quicker recovery means you can train more often if you want, or will not be as tried going into your next workout
Q) How do I know, I’m coming close to failure?
A) As you approach failure, you will start moving the weight slower.
