Bit of a bump for this topic, I have read through your beginners guide and can appreciate the time it taken to write out etc, but for me the workout routine doesn't seem like I would be doing enough if I just did the excercises you shown. I have had a few goes with weighttraining before, but have never had a good structured workout routine... I started gym again last week and tried your workout plan, I learnt some new excercises but felt that I had to add more! Would this be too much and would I be overtraining if I added a few more pulling excercises where I feel like they are needed? This is because I feel that are too many pushing excercises. I would rather go the gym more times a week so I could get the most out of my gym membership, but I am not a fan of the running/cycling/rowing/cross trainer machines so I only use the freeweights and a few of the pulley weight machines. I have also bin using "Maximuscle - Cyclone", It feels like this helps me to recover quicker and I don't feel as achey the next day! HOWEVER, I find that it makes me feel tired alot and I think i'm putting on weight in the wrong way (I feel like i'm getting fat after just a week on it). I have had a good search on google and there are hundreds of different bodybuilding workouts, but which ones are good? I need help finding a more complete workout! Can anyone help me choose one from google or even one that has worked for them?
