This is a program designed for absolute newbies at the gym.
This is a medium intensity, high frequency training program that requires you
to be at the gym thrice a week. You will hit each muscle group thrice a week,
ensuring optimal gains as a beginner. If you have any doubts regarding how to
perform any of the exercises listed below, I’d recommend you to consult a
trainer or another experienced lifter to help you out the first few times. The
last thing you would want to do is completely sabotage your gains by lifting
the wrong way and running yourself into a crucial injury.
Also, don’t forget that the right nutrition and adequate
sleep is extremely important for you to see the results that you’re looking
for. Talk to a nutritionist and get your diet planned, and stick to it. If you’re
looking for some free diet advice, feel free to hit me up on my Instagram and I’ll
be glad to help.
I’d recommend you to follow this program for the first 4-6
weeks at the gym and then switch to a slightly lower frequency and higher
intensity program such as a Push/ Pull/ Legs split.
CHECK OUT THIS FREE P/P/L SPLIT:
After following this full body program for 4-6 weeks, make
sure to do a deload week to give your body and nervous system some extra
recovery time. Remember, you don’t want to end up with a severe injury and ruin
all your hard work. Reduce your intensity by as much as 60% during the deload
week and keep your workouts light.
Right below, is a list of some great basic compound
movements that will help you pack on pounds of muscle if done the right way. Feel
free to tweak the program here and there depending on what suits you best. If
you really enjoy training this way and feel it’s perfect for you, continue with
it, instead of moving on to a P/P/L split. After all, you’re more likely to see
results following a program you like than one you have to struggle to keep up
with.

Here’s some basic
diet advice:
-
Drink plenty of water.
-
Rely on high fiber carb sources such as oatmeal,
whole grain breads, etc.
-
Do not consume too many sugary drinks/ juices.
-
Get an adequate amount of protein. Meat, eggs
and skimmed milk are great sources.
-
Protein shakes on the go, are a great way to hit
those protein goals. However, don’t overdo it.
-
Do not neglect getting in healthy fats from
fish. Taking an omega 3-6-9 supplement is a great way to get in those good
fats.
