Strength Training 101, How to Get Strong, Build Muscle : Weight Training

Weight Training :

Weight training is next. Use an olympic barbell and weights. Here's what to do: Pick one of each type of exercise. Train 3x per week, like Monday, Wednesday, Friday for example and take the rest of the days off. Do 3 sets of 5 reps. Focus on good form first.

* Pushes- Overhead Press, Bench Press, Incline Bench, etc

* Pulls- Weight Pullups & chinups, Bent over Rows, Deadlifts, etc

* Squats - Back squats, Front Squats, Overhead Squats, Deadlift, etc.

* Explosive - Power Clean, High Pulls, Clean and Press, etc...

Here's how you progress: Each weight training session add 5lbs. Do this for 3 sessions in a row, then go back 2 steps. This is called the "3 Steps Forward and Two Steps" back approach to cycling your training. Change up the different types of exercises you do to avoid boredom, but be sure to have one of each type in each training session.
