Training Routine # 1: Bodybuilding - The Beginner.

Routine Notes

Warm up on a stationary bike for five minutes before each training session. This routine should familiarize you with some solid exercises. Strict adherence to this routine can result in significant gains in size and strength in a relatively short amount of time. This entire routine, including cardio, should take about 60 minutes. Emphasize smooth movements and proper form. The amount of weight used should only be of secondary concern.

Training Routine # 2: Bodybuilding - Intermediate to Advanced.

Routine Notes This is a mid level routine that can be used by just about anyone. It is very concentrated when compared to the beginner routine as more will be asked of the trainee, so more dedication will be expected to continue the progress generated from the beginning schedule. Some of the exercises are more specific and the workload has increased by 40%. This routine has been used by advanced trainees who have had extended layoff and need to get reaclamated to the rigors of intense training. Follow this routine for 12 weeks then take a week break before starting another cycle. After 6 months access your level of conditioning and recovery before moving to more advanced level specific training schedules.

Universal Nutrition Animal Test

Testosterone Booster!

Notes: The Ronnie Coleman Routine. This is a 6 days a week advanced routine that is recommended for only those who have been training for at least 2+ years steady with only breaks between cycles. The routine is very taxing and should be worked up to by progressively increasing your ability to handle more work load over a given time frame. That is what the beginning and intermediate routines are designed to do. They increase your ability to handle more work load. Give the routine a try for 2 weeks and honestly judge your recovery and energy. If either feels to be dragging back off the schedule and try on of the other routine that have more rest days in between training days.

Training Routine # 4: Bodybuilding - Advanced.

Notes: Very popular training split for those looking to maximize recuperation, strength and mass increases. This type of split was very popular with Six time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates who believed in training a maximum of 4 time per week in the off season in order to maximize his muscle growth and power output. The workout here doesn't follow th one set principles of Mr. Yates but is very taxing and will generate plenty of growth for any who follow it to the letter. Training cycle is 12 weeks with 1 week off.

Training Routine # 6: Bodybuilding - Advanced.

Notes: This is a general outline, not including warm-up sets. Be sure to stretch thoroughly before training. “I make sure I’m totally prepared for heavy sets, and may do two to four lighter sets before the max sets to prepare physically and mentally.” From week to week, reps may also change, as well as the order of exercises (e.g., shrugs and deadlifts before rows and chins on back day). “While I use heavy weights, I make sure to do my exercises as strictly and safely as possible. My pre-contest and off-season weight training routines are similar. Because of the added motivation of an upcoming contest, I'll generate more intensity, with a more conscious effort towards contracting the muscles. I may drop or add exercises, but these changes will be relatively minor. I strive to handle the same weights I would in the off-season, as this is crucial to maintaining muscle during a pre-contest period.”

Training Routine # 7: Bodybuilding - Advanced.

Notes: Though this routine looks deceptively simple (the heaviest weights aren't used), believe me, it's not so easy. This routine looks to maximize your pump and your results. Keep your rest period between each to a minimum (no more than 30 seconds). It should produce nice size, shape and overall definition.

Training Routine # 8: Power Bodybuilding - Intermediate/Advanced.

Notes: This routine is short and sweet. It’s perfect for bodybuilders who want a break out of a stale routine or for those who want to maximize their results in the shortest period of time. This program is great for novices and experienced bodybuilders alike. It involves basic strength movements. There’s nothing fancy here. The real effectiveness lies in the specific combination of movements. Each day incorporates specific movements in the right sequence that will help you grow. I emphasize heavier weights with absolute strict form. Unless noted, you’ll perform 5 sets for each exercise. Each successive set gets progressively heavier and you’ll follow this pattern: 1st set, 8 reps; 2nd set, 6 reps; 3rd set, 4 reps; fourth set, 2 reps; and fifth set, 50% of the weight of the 1st set to failure. In addition to the program outlined below, there’s 20 minutes of cardio after each workout, ten minutes of stretching before and after you finish training.

Training Routine # 9: Bodybuilding - Intermediate/Advanced.

Notes: The following is a basic routine that has been used with great success by many who have tried it. The routine is a four day split that give you plenty of rest so you can use the maximum weight for each given workout. By pounding on the heavy weight and adequate rest days you will see dramatic changes in your physique over the course of your training cycle. Keep your between 6-12 for each set. You can modify this routine to meet your specific needs by adding sets and substituting different exercises.
