Beginner Bodybuilding Basics Part 2: What Exercises Should I Do?

[jlvi13]

@VENENO9021 Try the same exercises, but with heavier weight. You only need to do less than 6 exercises for all those exercises, so use a heavy weight that enables you to do only 1-6 repetitions.

What would be a good routine to build bigger shoulders and triceps

[jlvi13]

@naruto0f0olympus Go to my channel and check out the playlists on those subjects. That should give you a good idea.

[NorthernCaliSolDier]

i Lift the same muscle groups 2 days in a row till i fail and than take 1 day rest, and then lift 2 more days and take 2 days rest, then restart the process. everyone has a diffrent body, if i only workout for 1 day then rest i gain muscle verrry slowly. so yeah just keep in mind that everybody has a different body, and different way of making things work. although if your hurting you obviously overexerted and need to take a rest.

[jlvi13]

@NorthernCaliSolDier Well, I work out 6 days in a row, but not the same muscle group 2 days in a row. If you do chest and triceps on one day and your back and biceps on the next you will still get good results. Every body is basicly the same except some small differences and exceptions, but the way we react on a certain workout can be different. In general it's not a good idea to work out the same group 2 days in a row, but for you and some others it might work.

I do pull ups, push ups, dips, squats, cav raises and crunches without weights. Is this good enough to get in shape?

[jlvi13]

@ChaosSharingan Yeah, that should be enough if it is challenging enough for you. There will probably come a time that it will not give you a lot of improvements, but if you do it to just get and stay in shape it's just fine.

[schoolprojects00100]

it is much clearer that way thank you.



[schoolprojects00100]

so should i never target biceps directly and focus more on upper back,lower back and forearms?

[jlvi13]

@schoolprojects00100 You can work out your biceps directly, but you should first work out your bigger muscle groups. If you wouldn't have a lot of time to workout and had to choose between a big muscle group like the upper back and chest, or the biceps and triceps, I would go for the first! Is it clear this way?

[83dannyphantom]

how often a week do you workout?

[jlvi13]

@83dannyphantom 6 days a week, 10 hours total. 

[83dannyphantom]

@jlvi13 you look great! what muscle groups do you work on what days?

[jlvi13]

@83dannyphantom All muscles on 1 day except for my abs. I work out for 50-60 minutes in a row and just lift the heaviest possible weight.

[schoolprojects00100]

@jlvi13 once a week?

[jlvi13]

@schoolprojects00100 No, 2x a week, on 2 other days I work out my abs and grip and on the final 2 workout days I do some sprinting/ freerunning.

[J3yblivion]

yay another video



[Wowgangz]

Awesome! Keep em' comming! Can't wait for the next episode

[jlvi13]

@Wowgangz Next episode will come out next week. First I will make a new Nutrition For Nuts video.

[Surreal93]

Did you drink something like shakes or do you eat booster things?..

[jlvi13]

@Surreal93 No, just natural food. Never used anything else, probably never will. Not even vitamin supplements, which are not neccessary and no whey protein, although I'm not against whey. People don't need 3 grams of protein per kg bodyweight, it's some popular myth, but it's not needed and not even healthy to take that much protein. 15-25% from the daily calorie intake should come from proteins. 20-25% for strenght athletes.

[Surreal93]

@jlvi13

Thank you much.

[Surreal93]

Thank you

i wouldn't recommend to do deadlifts for begginers .. they may mess up their back ( i am now recovering from my lower back injury too)

and with weighted linges i would recommend to do it with 90° angle

[jlvi13]

@pejtok Sounds logical, but if you have a look at what the alternatives are then deadlifts are quite fine. Deadlifts are fairly safe to do. You can drop the weight whenever you can't hold it. With a squat you will be underneath the weight, and squats can be really risky for your lower back as well. Not working out the lower back is also a pretty bad idea, since your abs will 'pull' to much forward which also causes injuries.

[pejtok]

@jlvi13 yes but for someone who is young and has never exercised before i would recommend to hold "superman" as long as possible and to do hyper extensions and than maybe after 3months to start doing deadlifts with some light weight but with someone who have been exercising for some time just to navigate :D ... but this is only my opinion :D

[jlvi13]

@pejtok Well, I think a beginner can do the same exercises as someone who is advanced as long as he/she uses light weight to learn the technique. Of course they shouldn't start with deadlifting their bodygweight :) I do get your point, I had some footage for hyperextensions as well, but I someone managed to leave that out of the video. Probably because it would be to long, hehe.

[itsgood93]

Best natural (i hope so) body i have ever seen.

[jlvi13]

@itsgood93 Yeah, it's natural. If I would use stuff like steroids I would be bigger, but I know the health risks.
