The PERFECT Beginner Workout (Sets and Reps Included)

If you are new to training and looking for a beginner workout to build muscle then this is the step by step workout plan you need. In this video, I take you through a workout for beginners that is 3 months in length, or possibly even longer if you decide to stick with the third month longer, that is designed to build both strength and muscle while making sure to build your body on a solid foundation.

Each month consists of three workouts, two of which are full body workouts and one of which focuses on your core and grip/forearm strength. The total body workouts are alternated on monday, wednesday and friday while the core and carry workout is repeated every tuesday and thursday. The weekends are taken off for rest and recovery.
The exercises in this beginner workout routine are grouped by movement patterns. Instead of focusing solely on specific exercises, I want the beginner trainee to think about how their bodies are moving and why that movement is important so that they may substitute in other exercises down the line with a knowledge of why they are acceptable alternatives.
The ten movement patterns are:
Squat
Hinge
Vertical Push
Vertical Pull
Horizontal Push
Horizontal Pull
Static Lunge
Dynamic Lunge
Core Flexion
Carry
Over the course of the 3 months of this beginner workout plan, you will see that the exercises that fit each movement pattern will change. By either increasing the complexity of the exercise or the amount of load that can be used on the exercise, we can ensure progressive overload is met while giving your muscles the stimulus they need to grow bigger and stronger.
Eight of the ten movement patterns are split up across two full body workouts as shown in the video.
Here is an example of how the A full body workout for beginners of month one is structured:
1. DB Drop Squat - 3 x 12-15 FF
2. 1 Arm DB Press - 3 x 12-15 FF each arm
3. Chest Supported Row - 3 x 12-15 FF
4. Bodyweight Split Squats - 3 x FF each leg
Here is an example of how the B workout for beginners of month one is structured:
1. Pullthroughs - 3 x 12-15 FF
2. Bodyweight Reverse Lunges - 3 x 12-15 FF each leg
3. Pushups - 3 x FF
4. Lat/Banded Pulldowns - 3 x 12-15 FF
Here is an example of how the C beginner workout of month one is structured:
1. Rollups - 3 x FF
2. DB Suitcase Carry - 3 x FF each arm
As you make your way through months one, two and three you will see that the reps will decrease (progressing from movement mastery into strength overload) and the overall volume will increase and then become streamlined for maximum efficiency at the end. Any beginner who performs this total body workout for beginners can expect to see increases in the amount of muscle mass they carry as well as how they look and feel by the end of the routine.
The majority of these workouts can be performed in any home gym, making this extremely friendly to anyone who is looking to build muscle but either cannot or does not want to go to the gym. A simple bench, barbell set and some dumbbells is all it takes for you to start building muscle as a beginner. If for some reason you cannot perform one of the exercises shown here, simply leave a comment below and someone will be able to recommend an alternative option that you will be able to do.
All beginner workouts should have something in common, and that is a focus on learning the basics while paying attention to perform the exercises you are doing the right way. There is no point in building strength upon a cracked foundation. Learn how to control your body in space and master the movement patterns before adding weight to prevent unnecessary breakdowns down the line.
Within these workouts you will find familiar exercises like pushups, squats, deadlifts, rows, pullups, lunges and more. The exercise progressions are what is important however and making sure not to move to an exercise that your body is not prepared to do properly at this time. The step by step workout plan for beginners is laid out as such to ensure that that doesn’t happen to you. Take it workout by workout and you will see that you can make great progress without any slips along the way.

Many beginners think that doing 100 pushups a day is a good idea to grow a bigger chest. Here's why you need to STOP doing 100 pushups a day - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4WZZXmCqK-hd7c

[@drhtum]

What about cardio and conditioning? Where do we add those?

[@BhartiyaCricketFan]

@@drhtum Cardio & Strength Training CAN NOT be done together. It is always better to do them separately. 100 Pushups is a cardio for those who can do. But as per Jeff kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4WZZXmCqK-hd7c video. STOP DOING 100 PUSH UPS.

I was here one month ago. Here's a quick update: I followed all exercises for Level 1 for one month. I'm now ready for Level 2. I have been focusing on my nutrition as well. I'm considered overweight and have lost a good amount of weight already. My body is beginning to take shape and I can see where this is going. My focus was on doing the exercises correctly and establishing the consistency of going to the gym, nothing less nothing more. Questions? Hopefully, I'll be back here for month 2 (I see a lot of people post about month 1 but never come back for 2). Month 2: I continue to see progress in the mirror. I do not look jacked by any means, but every week my man boobs look less like boobs and more like pecs; not there yet though. When I felt lost during an exercise, I would think about Month 1 and what the concept (muscles being worked) was. I did increase my weight for each exercise at least once during this month. There are less reps, so if I felt I could do more then I would add more weight. If for some reason I couldn't do it, no problem, I'd just grab the lower weight right away and complete the exercise. Nothing crazy really, just go in there do my work out and that's all! I do add a 5 min walk on the treadmill before each workout and a 5 min stretch session after. Drink lots of water! You got this!! Month 3: I'm going to make my month 3 update right now. Hopefully this has been helpful to at least one person. I followed the exercises for three months and it's exactly what it portrays to be: a beginner work out. It taught me consistency in the gym, different terminologies and what I should feel when I'm lifting. My body is so much different than when I first started. But I am not ripped or the hulk. judging on a 3 month journey so far, I think you will have to do at least 6 months, possibly a year of consistent workout for your body to change to a 'I work out' type. Don't get me wrong, I see the change in my body now, and muscles look great. But it's not an easy fix and done, this is a long game. Specific to this program. It feels that month 3 begins to get much harder. I'm not able to do a lot of pull-ups (the feeling of getting your first one, is amazing!), so I still do the assisted. Some of the other exercises, in my inexperienced opinion, get a little dangerous. I'm trying to lift more and more weight each time I go. But it's uncharted territory. Is the bar going to fall on me, am I gonna injure myself with too much weight? So I'm not going to do a month 4. I'm just gonna stick with the 3. I'm most likely going to transition to AX-1 training camp (I believe it's called) I want to continue my gym journey but don't feel like repeating this. I'm going to expand and gain some more knowledge. Thanks for reading!! Good luck!! & Thanks to @athleanx for the amazing workout that got me started on a healthier me.

Jeff, you are my idol and true bodybuilding icon. Your guides for beginners are really awesome, and i like that all these exercises can be done at home beacuse of the ongoing covid pandemic. I would also like to remind all new bodybuilders that beside hard training, diet is also a life changing factor. Many beginners struggle to find a proper diet because they want fast results and they end up with no results at all, less money in their pockets and health problems. Please try finding a diet that will best suit you. If you still don't know where to start, consider dietarize as your starting point (it comes with a workout plan included, which I find convenient as it doesn't require going to the gym at all). This way results are guaranteed. 💪💪💪

Hey checking in for the first time! I’m going to be doing this 3-month plan as a way to introduce myself to weightlifting! I indoor boulder but there are so many road blocks for me because I don’t have the strength one needs to do climbs past V4 and so on. Therefore, this feels absolutely perfect for me to lay in some foundation. Will be following the exact same plan and I do choose to boulder only on Tuesdays and Thursdays after my core workouts! And at the time of this original comment post, just got back from doing my first workout yet! I feel good and definitely put in some weight progression and everything hurts!

Outstanding video. I'm a marathon runner who has traditionally hated weight training and been to scared to try some of the more compound movements. I've been doing this for a few months as a supplement to my running and seeing benefits, while really enjoying myself. Now that I'm a little more comfortable with the movements, I've been trying to go a little heavier with about 5 to 8 reps sets. Really cool to actually starting to increase the weight. Another thing, improving in the Deadlift and bench gives me the 'Runner's high' that I haven't gotten in years running. Thanks always to the man, the myth, the legend!!

i know this isn’t targeted towards weight loss, but that’s my goal. i want to do this strength training but any advice to also lose weight? i would assume cardio

[@jenavickrey1844]

@@prythal6221 HI! so in the last 8 months since I've started this I've lost 27 lbs. For me personally, the thing that worked was eating healthier (duh), doing this program at the gym 3-4x a week, and making sure i walked 10,000 steps a day. I made a spreadsheet of this video and use it to plan and create my weekly goals (A,B,C days). After 6 months, when my progress started to halt, i started implementing youtube workouts targeted towards increasing heart rate to120-140 bpm, a little under Cardio for me. There are lots of videos like this on youtube! (growwithjo is a favorite) I highly recommend getting a Heart rate tracker...like a fitbit or a smart watch. It keeps track of your steps and helps you know when you're slacking haha. Implementing the workouts with my strength training has helped a ton! I'm continuing to lose weight, and i still love going to the gym

I’m a beginner as well. I have heard that diet is best for weight loss. Lifting is good for muscle development which slowly ultimately affects fat loss. And cardio is best for general cardiovascular health

Month 1 update : It has been 1 month since I have started doing this exercises. It was challenging to begin with but slowly progressed and now I am very comfortablr doing all the exercises. I also added a 15 -20 min cardio routine to the exercises and it really helped. I have lost around 4 kgs. I thought I hit a plateau coz I wasn't getting below 90 kgs. But Finally I did it, I'm currently 86 kgs. Didn't eat clean for the first 10 days but since the last 20 days I have been eating very carefully and maintaining a calorie deficit of 500 cals. And I see the results. Not a crazy change but yeah slowly will get there. My goal is to look good shirtless and a weight of 72 kgs. 14 more to go
