2 exercises for each muscle group at 4x10

Main goal is to gain mass or bulk up and strength as well.

Im some what new to this so I might be totally wrong on this routine.:confused: Let me know what ya think.
 
What is usually recommended for beginners is a fullbody routine, 3 times a week. You work your entire body 3 times a week (with atleast one days rest in between each day). Instead of doing isolation, which is using movements that only train one muscle group, you use compound lifts, heres a list:

Squats
Deadlifts
Bench press
Rows/pullups
Military press
Google those
3x12 is a good set/rep scheme to begin with when you are a beginner, you can vary, one day maybe doing 3x10 and one 3x12 , just dont go low on the reps ;) when you get more advanced you can start going lower if you want strenght, but beginners usually respond best to high reps :)
Also, you might not want to do deadlift and squats on the same day, same with bench press and military press.
 
Well am not exactly a big time newb, ive been working out for the last 2 yrs but Ive been following a routine that has not been good for bulking. If you want to see my last routine here it is http://www.fitness.com/forum/weight-training/good-routine-19596.html . I just dont see how doing just 3 exercises for each muscle group a week is going to yield more results than doing 4 or more a week. Most of the total body routines Ive seen consist of only one exercise per muscle group each day you work out, but then again im not a pro or anywhere near that status.

100-Push-Ups in Two Minutes

100-Sit-Ups In two Minutes

2-mile run in 12 to 14 minutes.

wait about 5 minutes between each event...then tell me how ya feel!


If you can't do 100-Push-Ups do as many as you can do.

If you can't do 100-Sit-Ups do do as many as you can do.

If you can't run 2 miles in 12-14 minutes make it in your best time.

My best is 75-Push-Ups....83-Sit-Ups....and the run in 13:43.

Do this before you workout and test yourself once a week...Great stamina builder.


Have Fun:)
