  • Beginner's Bulking Routine

    To determine your start out weight begin an exercise with an empty Bar and then add 20 pounds with each 5 rep set. Stop when you know it will be too hard to go up a level. Do two more reps at that weight and stop. Add 20 lbs for the next session. Eventually, your gains will be smaller, but always attempt to add weight.

    Your workout alternates between "A" and "B" days. "A" days also alternate between "A" and "A2" days. Do three sets of 5 reps for each exercise. Time between reps should be about 90 seconds.

    I warm up with 3 sets of Jumping Jacks (20 reps) and sit-ups (25 reps).

    Before each exercise do a warm up set with about 1/2 weight.

    A1
    Barbell Squats
    Barbell Bench Press
    Barbell Deadlift
    Barbell Curls

    A2
    Barbell Squats
    Barbell Bench Press
    Barbell Deadlift
    Tricep Extension (I use a cable, but a Barbell is preferred)

    B
    Barbell Squats
    Barbell Bench Press
    Barbell Power Cleans
    Barbell Should Press

    Do this M, W and F. It's important to have rest between workouts and one two-day rest.
