Weightlifting?

My big brothers went to LA and left their gym equipment to me.. The equipment its kinda old and they've been using it since I was a lil kiddo... and watching them I kinda have a lil knowledge about weightlifting such as having a skedule (%26lt;-- BLEH I cant spell that!) and only doing one muscle only once a week so I wouldnt overtrain it.. Now they they're gone I dicided to hit the weights.. Theres this thing that my bros would use on their triceps and back but it gots a lot of handles that can be attatched to the chord and its kinda confusing cuz i dont know what they're for.. I'm just starting out and know jack sqat bout this suff.. Is there anyone here that I can add on yahoo messenger that could help give me some advice on this stuff??|||Remember this caveat of wisdom:


Go to Goggles


Type in Beginning Weight Training


review the entries that google uses as reference





You ARE training to get in better shape...remember this axiom|||You can IM me.





I'll invite you, my ID is wogirl602|||I used to think that training one muscle group two to three times a week was the best way to get huge. After ten years of body-building you learn that working one group per week is the BEST way to train to get huge.


Working one muscle group will almost always compliment another group. For example, If I work my lats (back muscles) I'll also be working my triceps indirectly. Therefore, on Monday I'll work my back and triceps. Tuesday I'll rest. Wednesday I'll work biceps , pecs, and delts (shoulders). Thursday rest. Friday I'll work quads (front legs) and calves. Saturday I'll work forarms, abs, and hamstrings.


Creatine helps if your really trying to get huge. It's the only supplement I've used that really works. Always remember to drink lots of water and keep rested since the only time muscle builds is during sleep.





Good Luck!|||Whether you're an advanced weightlifter or not, I've got one piece of advice that is true for at least myself. Weight lifting without diet is worthless. Just like diet without weight lifting/exercise is worthless. You don't need to do advanced workouts to get good results. I'd recommend the book "The Testosterone Advantage Plan" by Lou Schuler. I was in the gym 6 days a week for an hour a day and was bored of it. I took a chance on this diet/exercise routine and saw more results in that promised 9 weeks than I had ever seen before, even though I even fudged on the diet part a little. The book is easy to read and understand and his reasoning is sound. The excercises are basic, but you'll still push yourself. Just my two cents.
