honeslty dude there is so much you can do and so much shit that works or doesnt work so just find what works for you it takes time but its the best way just buy any bodybuilding magazine and read those sample workouts there all the same and go from there

well if youre serious about weightlifting you should get an instructor, at least for a few times so you get the hang of it, or go get some videos at least to watch how theyre done and get a few ideas.

there's many variations on training programs, youll find plenty searching the forums or google. but most people train 2 musclegroups per session. so let's say you work out 3 times a week it could be:

mon: chest/shoulders/triceps

wed: back/biceps

fri: legs/calves/abs

or something like that.

do 3 sets per exercise, 10-12 reps or more to get the feel for the exercise. it's hard to give so general advice, you'd really be better off with an instructor or a personal trainer for a little while.

dont read the magazines. they're full of crap and those workouts are not for human beings. they're for animals with tons of muscle from years of training who recover faster than regular people because of the drugs. if you have hardly no muscle at all try Vince Gironda's beginner workout.

http://www.teenbodybuilding.com/callum14.htm

if you've worked out before and are pretty strong but just don't know what to do as far as a serious routine you can try each muscle one day a week thing. which is what most people do.
There's lots of info on the internet but be carefull about overtraining. diet of course is important. if you wanna get big eat 1.5g of protein per bodypound or more. optimum nutrition gold standard is the best quality for value protein. don't buy weight gainers you can make your own with protein powder and just add a bunch of stuff. i do chocolate flavor protein, peanut butter, milk and fiber powder. when you eat a lot you better have your fiber or you'll have problems.

the other day in the gym there was this juice up trainer training a 15-16 year old kid and this man at the same time. he was making them both do what must have been like 30 sets of bicep curls. the man looked like a regular guy, had okay arms but the kid was like 115 pounds. never get into that crazy over training/ arnold schwarzenegger each muscle 3 times a week, working out twice a day... i dont believe arnold actually did that stuff but if he did... he's not a human being.

first decide what your goals are. get some books on basic anatomy so u can understand how the body functinons...then apply basic exercise principles via more books.  small steps first bro.  don't develop bad habits from the begining.

do fullbody workouts, some basic exericses, 3 times a week. I think msot of your exercises should be done with barbells and machines..more with machines actually. Dont forget to include bodyweight exericses like pullups, dips and pushups.

I'd go with something like what GETBIGGER posted, however I would include deadlift from the beginning on back day.  I would also go with less intensity the first couple of weeks.

Finding a right program takes a couple of years of self body experience. just keep w/ it and as JPM would say.....

KISS...(KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID)

yes, and I believe JPM would also agree that you need to start out with a very basic fullbody workout regimen 3 times a week. Let me layout one for you right here

HackSquat or Leg Presses
Leg Curls
Standing Calf Raises
Dips(assisted if u arent able to do them yet)
Chinups(assisted if u arent able to do them yet)
Machine Shoulder Press
Tricep Pushdowns
Db Curls
Hyperextensions

No it's not, especially if he takes it easy on the weight.


Point is Unknown.....it will take years for you to find out what works best for you.  Just keep trying things until you find something you like.

Yea split it. This is an exaple... how i do it.

tuesday
-Back and hamstrings
thursday
-Chest and triceps
Friday
-Biceps (by themselves because they need special attention right now)
Sunday
-Shoulders and Quads

A muscle that you want to focus on most you can do by itself one day. A muscle that is your strong point you can do second. For example I have legs but not a lot of shoulder so I do shoulders first and then quads.

if you're a really weak kid or never worked out at all you should do 3 full body workouts a week but i think you can handle bodybuilding which is hitting each muscle hard.

DONT  FUCKIN DO A ONCE A WEEK SPLIT  >:( DONT EVEN GO THERE, DAMNIT

you need to pick a couple of simple compound exercises and do them very frequently(kind of like the workout I layed out earlier), please trust me on this.
