The Newbie Mass Building Program
Monday, 14 May 2012 23:13

As a personal trainer and gym rat, I have seen this scenario at the gym numerous times. A skinny guy joins the club with hopes of adding slabs of muscle to his thin frame. He wants that athletic build that so many guys on TV and in the movies sport.
So he wanders around the gym a bit looking at the racks of dumbbells, various equipment, and barbells. Typically he will watch the bigger guys and be very curious about what they are doing and wonder if he should do that as well. Then he ends up at a bench press station, starts loading weight on, and begins lifting while envisioning how he hopes to look.
...then within a few weeks he is usually following a machine circuit and not making the gains he wanted.
So what happened?
Usually the poor guys just never learn the basics of a mass building program geared for newbies. But don't worry because we have a great one here which helps lay a proper foundation for building those big slabs of muscle!

When it comes to training less is definitely more as we are all coming to the conclusion that more than 75% of your body composition is determined by what and how you eat. You don’t need to burn excessive amounts of calories, by working hard in the gym. There are still plenty of people that believe that the more intense and further they go the better their gains. While pushing yourself to squeeze out a few extra reps is fine, you do run the risk of overtraining.

We all know that exercising and working out is a great way to help our bodies to shake off stress and rejuvenate ourselves. No matter what your age and no matter where you live, you should always have in your schedule during the week, a time set out for exercising. Walking, jogging or running is one of the best ways to exercise as it, for the most part.. does not require any additional fitness equipment to get started. All you need to do is leave your front door and you can take advantage of a walk, jog or run around a few blocks in your neighborhood. But then again, not everyone has this facility at hand.
