I want to start and make a Bodybuilding exercise routine but I don’t know what exercise to do each day or how many because they say you need to change up your routine so your muscles wont get used to the same routine and si it can be more fun. Can somebody help ke please!!!!!
Hi Jose, the one thing you definitely don’t want to do is over train your muscles. I’d recommend working out each muscle group no more than twice a week. This will prevent muscle damage and allow sufficient time for your muscles to heal and grow.
Here is a sample routine you can implement
Day 1 – Chest & Cardio
Day 2 – Biceps and Back
Day 3 – Cardio and Abs
Day 4 – Triceps and forearms
Day 5 – Traps and Shoulders
Day 6 – Legs, Abs and cardio
Day 7 – Rest
This is the basic routine I personally use with very good results. What I do to mix up my routine is have an arsenal of different exercises that I can perform for each muscle group, that way each week I pick 3 out at random for each muscle group and go from there. Generally I’ll do 3 sets of 8-10 reps for each exercise with a 2 minute break between sets.
For example, Day 1 – Chest. I will do something like:
Flat Bench press (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
Flat Bench dumbell flys (3 sets of 8-10 reps) &
Incline Bench press (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
And that’s it. That Workout is done. There is no need to do any more than 3 different exercises per muscle group. More exercises might damage your muscle and any less won’t be stressing them enough.
I hope this short guide was useful to you.
