Exclamation So, you want to start working out and changing your physique...

But you're unsure what exercises train what muscle groups. This site should help you greatly! http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html

Any questions? Post up.

Great information... This should be one of the first things people do before they train, learning the proper technique can save you from a potential injury....

Agreed. FORM is so much more important than the amount of weight you're moving. I see people at the gym throwing, swinging, and flayling weight around in a manner that doesn't really work a fucking thing. It's quite funny seeing people try to do bicep curls by swinging the weight from behind them, then the move their whole body, and barely get the arm up. They work more of their legs them they do their biceps.

Isolation of the muscle group you're trying to work, is key!

When I used to work out at the gym, the newer guys would chuckle or "chest out" stare at me because I was lifting less weight than them....even though they struggled to move that weight.


I smiled one week later when they never returned.

Yep. It's like, "thanks for paying to keep the gym running, you slacker."

True - so true

It is still funny watching those morons at the gym. I don't see any grunts at the OAC, but there are still a few guys that wing, etc. You'd think if they can afford to workout there, they would drop a few bucks on one of the personal trainers on site

Hey Al. I know you lift 7 days a week. What muscle groups do you work on what days.

I'm starting to get limited by what I can do on my bench at home with free weights, and I'm getting a gym membership tomorrow.

5-7 days a week. Even God took a day off.

Day 1 = Chest and cardio
Day 2 = Biceps, Triceps, (and sometimes forearms) and cardio
Day 3 = Shoulders (Delts, front, side, rear) and cardio
Day 4 = Back and cardio
Day 5 = Legs and cardio
Day 6 = Touch up what muscle group hurts the least and cardio...or take day off if I am in a lot of pain
Day 7 = Touch up what muscle group hurts the least and cardio...or take day off if I am in a lot of pain

To be honest I SELDOM finish my cardio sessions on leg days. Legs feel like Jell-O and are barely able to hold me up, let alone trek their way to a leaner me.
