The Perfect Well-Rounded Workout Routine

Over the years, muscle training has certainly improved to give its participants tremendous results. When a person enters a weight room for the first time in their lives, it can be a little bewildering. There are tons of weights and machines to match, not to mention people who seem to know what they are doing. One can always get a personal trainer, but hopefully after reading this article a personal trainer will not be needed.

It truly doesn't matter which muscle a person starts with, but in order to receive wondrous results in only a few short weeks concentration on the muscles worked is absolutely necessary. Usually, stick to no more than two muscles per day, and make the routines complimentary to the muscles being worked.

Day 1: Chest and Triceps

Start with three quick sets of pushups, roughly 20-25 should be fine, but do enough that all three sets are completed. I recommend reading "The Power of Pushups" before starting any pushups routines. This loosens up the muscles before the actual workout begins. In addition, pushups work the chest, back, and triceps muscles. Next, go to bench press and do three sets of bench, work with the weights and see how much weight is needed to complete three sets of eight reps. The next exercise should be pectoral flies, this works the side pectoral muscles and will give your pectorals a great look.

The triceps should already be feeling a little weak from the chest workout. Try to do three sets of dips followed by three sets of tricep pull-downs with the tricep rope. The good thing about dips is that it works, not only triceps, but chest as well. This workout, which should last at maximum an hour, incorporates four exercises for triceps and four exercises for chest. If time or strength is not a factor, try to incorporate shoulders into the routine - military press.

Day 2: Back and Biceps
