Weight trainers who are starting on a weight training program must be on the lookout that they do not over train their muscles.
Without knowing it, this is a real tendency among weight trainers because of their desire to build their muscles fast.
So any beginners who are set to begin weight lifting programs must try their best to train different muscles at different days.
One common mistake among weight trainers is to overexert some muscles while failing to develop the others.
For example, an exercise program for the chest may be done on Mondays, and then triceps on Tuesday, and then the shoulders will be exercised on Wednesday.
This is actually an error because if examined closely, the triceps is bound to get over-trained.
This must not come as a surprise because many weight trainers such as you do not know this simple fact.
Then again, why is this is a common error among weight trainers? Look at it this way.
Almost every chest and shoulder exercise works out the triceps as its secondary muscle while almost every back exercise works the biceps secondary.
Keeping this in mind, here are some important tips that must be remembered when doing your workout routines and splits.
If they will be followed, they will prevent straining some muscles too much while under developing the others.
First, do exercises that will work the chest, triceps and shoulders on the same day.
Also, since you are doing them anyway, perform exercises for the biceps and back on the same day.
Second, to ensure that they are strained far apart, separate those muscles that work a secondary muscle.
This will help prevent over-training you.
This can be kept in mind as an example; you may do Chest on Monday while Triceps can be done on Wednesdays, and shoulders Friday.
This other option can also be done; do the biceps on Monday with chest, and work the back on Wednesday or Friday.
Third, a new weight trainer only needs to understand the basics and it would be easy to create one's own.
It must be kept in mind that developing the right weightlifting workout routines and splits and programs does not have to involve hard science.
Other than keeping these important reminders in mind, it would be crucial to bear these other basics.
Do not overindulge at the gym with weights.
Starting slow is often right.
Also, it is important to feed yourself a diet that encourages muscle growth.
This would often include protein into your food intake.
Eat more lean meat and dairy products.
This also means that it is important to stay away from fat, sweets, fried food and alcohol.
These types of food do not help in building up muscle mass.
Finally, patience is an important basic trait both for beginners and professional weight trainers.
It is important to keep this in mind if it is their goal to achieve the muscle mass they have always craved for.
It does not help if you are overeager to gain muscle mass early on yet you do not do anything at all.
Patience is an important key to a successful weight training program.
Also, trainers must tell themselves that they should also keep in mind that consistency, discipline, knowledge and determination will also help in achieving their goal.
