Exercises

My go to website for exercises is body building this website has free exercise plans it has nutrition advise, you can create your own workouts using the different exercises for each muscle group, I could go on and on about this website it really is great.

I am currently following Jamie Eason live fit which is done in three phases, the first phase is building muscle, the exercises are simple, means you can learn technique and also start gaining strength, phase 1 is two weeks long it is 3 sets of 12 reps, phase two is next and the exercise are still simple, but they are 3 sets of 8-10 meaning lift heavier, this is the phase I'm currently on, I'm on week 2 phase 2 and I feel so much stronger.

For people just starting out in strength training I would personally recommend doing a full body workout a few times a week, with enough days off in between for your muscles to recover.

Week 1-2

Bench Press: 2 sets of 15 reps

 Bent over up right row: 2 sets of 15

Seated Dumbbell Press: 2 sets of 15

Standing Barbell Curl: 2 sets of 15

Triceps Dip Machine: 2 sets of 15

Leg Press: 2 sets of 15 reps

Lying Leg Curl: 2 sets of 15 reps

Machine Crunch: 2 sets of 15 reps

Week 3-4 you increase the sets to 3 sets of 15 and do drop sets, 15, 12 10

Week 5-8 you do 3 sets of 12, 8 and 8 so you do less reps but heavier weights


Once you feel more confident lifting weights, you can start splitting body parts up:
Legs
Shoulders
Chest and Triceps
Legs
Back and Biceps

With legs you can either do one session of high rep low weight and the next low rep high weight, or you can split the leg up, so one day you do the front of the leg and the other day the back of your legs and butt
