A Basic Compound Routine For 'Beginners' - Page 2 - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Good thread, pretty solid routine all I'll add is I don't think its wise for pure beginners.

Bad idea to go straight into strength training as soft tissues get stronger a lot quicker than connective tissues.....hence why quite a few new gym goers experience tendon pulls etc.

If you have a couple months training under your belt then I think this routine would be perfect to progress on to.

What a load of sh1te!

Where are the kickbacks, pec-deck, wrist curls & cable finger extensions, FFS???!

How on Earth can anyone put on serious mass without the above exercises?

& don't even get me started on ear shrugs, perhaps THE most valuable exercise of all....

You know, when I was at school (oh so long ago), I got told off by my Maths teather for something. As I was walking away from her I got wrong again. She said she knew I was grinning as my "ears shrugged" :crazy:

Fair point which was why I put the "Beginners" into quotes. I will however amend the O.P.

If done heavy enough definately.

As you progress up the weights on 20 reppers you'll need to start doing them Rest - Pause, so aim for 8-10 reps, rest (bar still on shoulders) and then crank out the reps in triples, doubles, singles etc until you reach 20.

I can't wait to give this a go.
When you say crank out the remaining reps in triples, doubles etc do you still perform them in a strict controlled manner or is the name of the game just to get the reps out ?

Looks good to me

As strict as possible. Anything else and you are just cheating yourself.
