Proper Weight Lifting Workouts Planned Out

By Jason Smith

Planning weight lifting workouts can sometimes be a problem for people. They may be unaware of the proper amount of weights or the frequency with which they should exercise. Because lifting weights can be a difficult task lots of people simply forgo it.

Before you begin any weightlifting routine you must be certain that you have all of the information necessary. The primary concern is that you have a plan of action. Without a plan of action your attempt will be met with little or no success.

An effective plan for a workout would be to alternative days. You will want to exercise muscles in groups. You want to alternative days so that the muscle groups have a minimum of one days rest. If this is not allowed then the muscle simply cannot heal.

The major muscle groups are chest, back, arms, and legs. So most good routines will work chest and legs on alternatives days with arms and back. You can therefore lift every day of the week but not overwork your body. Alternating days is an important thing to understand.

The next step is determining how much weight you should lift. In some ways this is very dependent on the individual. However, you will always want to lift weight that is heavy enough so that it requires effort, but also not so much that you cannot lift more than one or two repetitions.

A good workout will have you feel as though your muscles have been worked out. You should not feel great like you could continue lifting all day, because that means you are not lifting enough. Likewise, you do not want to lift so much that you cannot recover in the day of rest.

The best workout is one that makes you feel tired. It is important to differentiate tired from exhausted. Exhaustion is not what you want, that will only be a sign of overlooked muscles. These muscle will fail to grow. You want to space exercises out. For instance, a dumbbell curl is good for your biceps. You would do this on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. This allows Tuesday and Thursday to be used for the bicep to heel and on those days you could exercise other muscles.
