Workout Plan

It is best to have a Workout Plan and stick to it to get maximum results from exercising.
Simply doing some exercise and not tracking any progress or not focusing on specific
muscle group could lead you nowhere in your fitness goal. If your goal is to gain muscle in
your chest, shoulder, arms or lose fat in your belly, it is better to have a Workout Plan to
achieve that goal.

My Full-body Workout Plan

This is the workout I'm following through - a 3 times a week workout plan. You can follow
on this program, it is effective on supercharging your muscle growth and lose the fat.
Click on each link to see how to perform that exercise.

Consider these points when doing your workout:

  • Always start with some aerobics (treadmill or bicycle) for 5 minutes, and
    stretching for warm-up. Then do a warm-up set of 10 reps with a moderate load.
    What is a moderate load? It is the weight that you can lift with 15-20 reps. The
    heavy load is the one that you can lift only for 10 reps maximum.

  • Allow sufficient recovery by waiting at least 48 hours between sessions when
    training the same part of the body. For example, in this workout, there are 3
    sessions per week, but each session is training different parts of the body.

  • The standard number of sets is 3 sets of 6 to 10 repetitions of each exercise for
    heavy load. As your strength increases, increase reps per set until you can do 12
    reps while maintaining proper form. Then for your next session, when you have
    reached 12 reps, increase the load and drop back to 6 reps.

  • Perform positive phase (also known as the concentric or lifting phase) of each
    exercise as quickly as possible while maintaining proper form, and perform the
    negative (or lowering) phase much more slowly (to a count of four). This would
    enhance your muscle building!

The exercises above can be replaced with either machine or with cable, depends on what
is available on your gym. It pays to vary your routines, to avoid those 'plateaus' when you
feel that your routine exercise is not giving you the progressive result.

You might also try experimenting with 1 or 2 partial repetitions at the end of each set, at
the point where you can no longer complete a full repetition. This is called going to a
muscle failure. But please note, if you're going to do this, you need the assistance of a
partner for safety.
