Beginners and advanced lifters should NOT train the same way. There is a BIG difference between being able to deadlift 200 pounds and 500 pounds and what it does to your body. A beginner should not follow a bodybuilding routine or do more advanced techniques like exhaustion sets, triple sets, or burn out reps.

WHY you ask? Because a BEGINNER is not as neurally efficient. See all muscles are controlled by your nervous system which tells it when to fire. Want proof, flex your chest, easy right? Now try to flex your front deltoid. Not as easy.

All muscles need to have efficient neural pathways to fire properly, this comes from training movements repeatedly and developing that connection.
As a result, a beginner can only activate a small percentage of their total muscle fibres.

To activate the best muscle fibres, the fast twitch, you need shorter explosive bursts of performance. In other words, you need to lift heavy weights.

Want proof? Look at my friends Jason and Stevan. Lets get their before photos. As beginner they did exactly what I preach. Which is the following:

HERES IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Beginners should:
Train compound movements more frequently, its 100% fine for you to squat, deadlift and benchpress more than 1x per week. 2-3 times per week until you hit 315 on the deadlift and squat, and 225 on the bench is 100% cool.

Keep their rep ranges lower: Keep all your reps below 12 for the first year of training, with compound movements between 6-8 reps mainly (you can go as low as 3 or 4). And for isolation movements doing approx. 6-12 reps.

Equal training for a developed body: Opposite muscle groups should be trained for a beginner just as frequently. So squats and deadlifts should
have the same frequency, same with the benchpress and bent-over row, military press and pull ups. Big problem is beginners do too much benchpresses and develop stability problems and injure themselves.

AVOID training to failure. WHY? Because as a beginner, you can't activate all your muscles. Its like getting someone slow to do calculus. Its just not going to happen. I've tried. If you can't activate all your muscles, why burn out the three that you can? Better to wire in the proper movements so your muscles fire effectively.

There is a big difference between carbon and a diamond.

And am looking to gain some muscle a little to bulk up when should i change up my plan when do i know when to move on like am just confused on what to exercise on. Basically i need a routine

  • @Tonygreens1 Brother check my channel I have exactly the routine you want on there....!

  • Loving the Van Halen t-shirt! Donut City!

  • @SpartanPict You know what the fuck is up

  • Can anyone tell me a good substitute for a bench press? cuz i just cannot bench

  • @killerzwad80 There are tons, but you should learn to bench. There is the floor press, wide dips, DB press, weighted push ups, any horizontal pull "could" work, but the bench press is wicked!

  • @killerzwad80 theres only 2, u either benchpress, or DUMBELL press, bt if its hard for you, there's actually machine in most gyms that helps u learn how to benchpress, its almost like the real thing but it only moves up and down.

  • you're funny, nice vid. But you don't know what you're talking about, you should do more research, and need moore expierence, since you're so smal, not buff, and dnt do workouts right.

  • hey im 14 and 5ft10 140. im not fat at all, its just when i sit down i get marks where i sit down. i wanna lose fat and gain muscle, and im 14, going through puberty so im alway very hungry, what do i need to do?

  • Where are you located? goddamn, I need someone like you in my life! lol

  • @OmarIsuf Hey thanks again man:) your videos are great and i have another question i watched your other video its this one

    BEST Beginner Muscle Building/Strength Program: Day 1 Full Body

    can i fallow that and how many weeks should i preform this work out till i change it up

  • so a beginner should trail as heavy as they can,but not go to failure?? not sure i got you..and if so,is it true for a female too?

  • @OmarIsuf thanks! we recently bought a home gym/olympic bench and its AMAZING! I still dont feel that much of a burn from it but ive started to do other exercises before i bench like pushups and these wierd things i just made up...dont know what theyre called :P haha but it seems like if i already have a little burn in my chest i can feel it more when i bench, thanks for the advice though!

  • @yedesmir1 The best way to start is by doing all the pushing movments in one day, like chest, shoulder and tri. then have a days rest. then do legs.then a days rest. then do all the pulling movments like back, lats and biceps. your mucles need time to rest, thay dont get bigger in the gym thay get bigger when your resting and eating right. when your startingout stick to things like dips, pull ups, bench press and squats dw worry about copping the pros
