Kick Start Your Weight Lifting Workouts - 7 Quick & Easy Tips For Beginners

Customized Weight Lifting Workouts are the best way to build a lean strong body.

You must have a weight lifting workout plan that is specifically designed just for you. If you are printing off a weight lifting routine from the net and expecting results, then you are headed for disaster.

The key to triumphant weight lifting workouts is to train strong, eat right, plan ahead, measure your success and record your achievements. It is critical that you plan ahead by first defining your individual fitness goals then build personalized weight lifting workouts based on those goals. Also, you need to keep track of your vital statistics and weight lifting workouts in a journal to help you stay focused and motivated.

Creating customized weight lifting workouts that are effortless and effective can be nearly impossible if you don't know where to start, so here are 7 Simple Weight Lifting Workout Tips to get you going.

1. Identify exactly what your ultimate weight lifting goals are. Do you want to build pounds of lean, shredded muscle? Or do you just want to tone up a bit? You must have a clear vision of what you want to achieve in order to design a weight lifting workout plan that works best for you.

2. Get a journal so that you can keep track of everything you are doing. You need to be able to look back on previous days and weeks workouts so that you know what is working and what isn't. If you don't have a record of your weight training workouts and routines, you will never know how to duplicate your success.

3. Before you step into the gym, take your measurements and record them in your journal. Measure your chest, waist, hips, biceps, and thighs before your begin your weight lifting workouts. This will give you a good starting point to look back on. Take another measurement after a month of weight training; now see how far you've come! Keep tabs on your progress, it will build your self confidence and drive you toward your goal.

4. Design your weight lifting workouts based upon your intent. My personal trainer, who happens to be a Natural Bodybuilding Champion, recommended that all beginners start with a foundation building weight lifting program. So, start by doing 3 sets of 6 to 8 repetitions of each of these multi- joint weight lifting exercises:

- Squats
- Dead Lifts
- Bench Press
- Close Grip Bench Press
- Overhead Press
- Dips
- Pull Ups

5. It is extremely important that you execute each exercise movement with perfect form. The better your form the better and faster your results will be. Body position and form is much more important than how much weight you are lifting. Michael has taught me to focus and concentrate on each and every repetition, to squeeze the muscle at the top of the move and count to 2, before slowly releasing the weight back down. You can watch the Natural Bodybuilding Champ demonstrate these moves on YouTube if you need more instructions.

6. Train with confidence, walk into the gym knowing that your weight training workouts are fast and effective. Keep impeccatble notes in your journal, wear comfortable clothes and drink plenty of water. Don't worry about what others around you are doing, just put on your favorite music and get the job done.

7. Feed your newly built muscles within one hour of your workout. You just tore the fibers in your muscles and they need nutrients to repair themselves in order to grow. Fortify them quickly with a fast absorbing whey protein shake directly after each weight training workout. It is imperative that you fortify your muscles with the precise amount of protein at regular intervals throughout the day, not just after your workouts.
