Three Months to a Stronger You

December 2, 2008

If you are feeling that no matter how much you lift, every time you go to increase your pounds you just can’t, there is hope. All it takes is persistence and a little hard work for the next 3 months. You have to be diligent with the routine or it will not work for you. Consistency is the key to a stronger you.

You need to find a comfortable weight to start with that you can do 3 sets in reps of 8. If you have been lifting for a while, then it shouldn’t take you very long to find your ideal starting weight. Otherwise, it may take a few workout sessions to get it right.

You want to be able to increase the amount of weight each time you workout, this is the entire goal of strength training. Increase in muscle strength will be the result of adding the weight each time that you go and workout.

The routine should be performed every other day, which is 3 times a week with a rest period every other day. Make sure that you stretch and warm up before every workout to help prevent against injury.

All exercises should be done in 1 to 2 sets and a warm up with reps of 8-8-8. Bench presses for the chest, press behind the neck for shoulders, bent-over rows for the back, standing barbell curls for the biceps, dumbbell tricep extensions for the triceps, squats for the quads, stiff leg dead lifts for the hamstrings, and standing toe presses for the calves.

Following this routing and doing each exercise 3 times a week will give you an excellent strength training workout and increase the amount of weight that you can lift. Remember that proper diet with warm ups and stretching is very important.

You may not look like the hulk from this workout but it will definitely help you to gain more strength and show it off at the gym. It will boost your confidence in yourself and improve your physique. So, what are you waiting for, start planning and get to the gym.
