Hello,

Welcome to the second issue of the weight lifting course. The desire to gain muscle mass and/or lose body fat along with the longing to a built and attractive body, is a major contributor to our decision to begin working out and weight lifting.

However, regardless of how motivated you are or how much time you may spend in the gym, your muscle gain and body fat loss achievements will be rather limited unless several key principles and techniques are followed. Everyone who is serious about weight lifting, and bodybuilding in general, must understand that going to the gym is but one element on the road to success. Other important elements include: realistic goal setting, proper nutrition and diet and of course proper workout technique.

erally all exercises can be divided into two distinct categories: compound and isolation exercises. Compound exercises involve the movement of two or more joints (or muscle groups) and are responsible for the overall massiveness of a body part. Isolation exercises, on the other hand, involve the movement of a single joint (single muscle) and are responsible for the muscle definition. For maximal results, compound exercises should be performed first as they require the simultaneous contraction of multiple muscle groups.

Consequently, if one of those muscle groups is already exhausted (from an isolation exercise) the muscle-producing compound exercise will suffer. This is the reason why exercises for your forearms, for example, must be done only after you have worked your biceps and triceps (forearms support the compound exercises that target your upper arms).

Another key aspect of a proper workout is to develop all the different muscle groups in your body. Neglecting a certain body part will lead to a lack of proportionality. Many people who wish to gain weight often make the mistake of concentrating on their upper body and neglecting their lower body. However, leg muscles are amongst the largest, strongest, and relatively easily developing muscles in the body. Properly working leg muscles will result in large gains of muscle mass. A good workout plan would involve, at least initially, working every single muscle group once a week.

Finally, you must choose how many times you wish to workout per week. A good breakdown usually involves anywhere between 3 to 5 days a week, with each day devoted to a certain muscle group. Split your workouts so that each muscle group receives at least 48 hours of rest or else you may over train and/or injure your muscles; either overtraining or injury will result in loss of muscle tissue.
