Fitness Facts - The Importance of Weight Training

Basic and Effective Weight Lifting

 

This option will also suit the intermediate lifter, as you can just keep increasing the weights. By the end of 3 months you should be feeling strong enough to have increased your weights by approximately 5-10%.

  • Chest press. 3 sets of 8 repetitions.
  • Bent over row. 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
  • Triceps. 3 sets of 12 repetitions.
  • Biceps. 3 sets of 12 repetitions.
  • Knee extensions. 3 sets of 12 repetitions.
  • Calf raises. 3 sets of 25 repetitions.

Weight Training Schedule

-- 3 times a week is a good starting point when determining your needs for strength training. Your muscles need time to recover.
