Weight Training For Beginner - Weight Training Schedule

By Jason Taingahue
If you are a beginner in the weight room it can be a very daunting task lifting your weights in front of a lot of seasoned lifters. Especially as you don't even know how to lift these weights properly yet. If you want to know about weight training for beginner, then read on and I will even give you a weight training schedule that you can follow as well.

First of all, let's take a look at weight training for beginner. The process for a beginner when they go into a gym is to go through a series of fitness tests so that the exercise professional can design an appropriate program for them in accordance to there strength, flexibility and basically the specifics they have explained to the trainer.

The beginner will then go through the phases of a training cycle, which is basically a warm up, stretches, main weights program and then a warm down and stretches. That is all that a weight training program for beginner has in there session. The main part of the session being lifting the actual weights.

But there are deeper concerns for the beginner and there weight training and these can be personal vendettas such as, not being able to concentrate because of already seasoned weight lifters or something like how do I lift this weight properly. Such things as this for the beginner can be overcome by a positive mind set. The kind of mind that knows how to over come adversity and the simple techniques of using a mind set is to prepare your self. Write down what you do or don't know and then write down all the possibilities of eliminating problems that may arise in the situation at hand. Once you have eliminated all the negatives, you are then left with the positives and are able to carry forth on the task it self.

The next thing that we need to do for the beginner is have a weight training schedule, but what is a weight training schedule? And how do I make one up? I weight training schedule is a set of tasks that need to be achieved in order to achieved the desired results and in our case those tasks are exercises.

Let's take a look at a weight training schedule for the beginner then. A weight training schedule for the beginner should look like this:

Weight training schedule for the beginner
3 sets of 10 Squats
3 sets of 10 Bench press
3 sets of 10 Leg curls
3 sets of 10 Wide grip pull down
3 sets of 10 Shoulder press
3sets of 10 Bicep curls
3 sets of 10 Tricep push downs

This weight training schedule is all that is needed for the beginner as the sole purpose of this kind of weight training schedule for the beginner is that he or she adapts to the weight training. This program will last the exerciser for three months and then they will go onto a more advanced program, which may mean working out on certain body parts each day of the week. Like for instance you may do back and biceps on one day of the weight training schedule and chest, shoulders and triceps on another day of the weight training schedule. If you take a look at that kind of a weight training split, you will see that all the push exercises such as the chest, shoulders and triceps are done on one day and all the pulling exercises such as the back and biceps are done on the other. This helps us to prevent over training and balances our training schedule out as well.

Give it a go and don't be shy. Good luck.
