another newbie

[brierpatch1974]

Hello everyone, I am new to the forms and have a question. I see people talking about full body workouts 3 days a week and then cardio three days a week for fat loss and getting in shape. Most of the post show examples of this routine looking somthing like this.

weight training 3set of 10reps for each of the following

squat
deadlift
bench press
shoulder press
chin ups/lat pulldowns
bent row/upper back machine


My question is this. When do you work out the triceps, and biceps? and why only one exercise for each body part? also do you do the same weight each time or are some days lighter than others? I am really new to this so have been reading all the post I can.
A bit about me and my goals is this. I am 33 years old and 5'9 238 lbs. I would like to lose down to 200 lbs and be healthy. No dreams of being the next Mr. O, but just to be in good shape and healthy. My diet is really changing around a lot but still needs some more work so I am still researching this and will have more questions on the nutrition boards later on.
Thank you for all the help you can provide. Here is what my routine has looked like so far but I have been lifting very light just so I can go slow and learn proper form. Each exercise is 3 sets of 10 reps. I feel fatigue in my muscles the following day but no soreness. Thanks for all the help.

Bench press
Flyes
Rows
Reverse flys
Dips
Tir-Presses
Curls
Alternating Curls
Military Press
Lateral raises
Squats
Dead Lifts
Calf Raises

Well, you want to not get into a single mindset. The body adapts to work, so you need to change it from time to time to stay ahead of adaptation.

My question is this. When do you work out the triceps, and biceps? and why only one exercise for each body part? also do you do the same weight each time or are some days lighter than others? I am really new to this so have been reading all the post I can.

There really is no need to do any arm specific work, at least not initially, since the arms work when you do any push and pull work. Later on, as you've become accustomed and and you start looking for more sculpting, you can add some arm specific stuff, but not initially and definitely not if the goal is to lose fat. You need to focus on compound and combination work.

Perhaps you should look into the book "New Rules of Lifting." See if it's at your library, else buy a copy. It's worth every penny and will pay for itself well within a year.
