Your ideal schedule
In my previous blog 70/30 Rule, I have given a gimps of what a work out schedule is. In this blog I am going to elaborate on the same in more detailed manner.
Every professional bodybuilder now, during the early stages of their careers have worked out according to a work out schedule or a chart. Having said that, following a schedule or a chart is not only limited to a beginner - of course pros do follow work out schedules - but it has it's added advantages to a beginner more compared to a pro.
When you step in to a gym, you may see people doing various exercises, using various machines; but, what you don't see is that they have a method to the madness i.e. they do not just hit the gym and do whatever they prefer - however pros have developed their bodies to a level where they hit the gym and if they feel like doing legs, they do legs, if they feel like doing arms they do arms, etc. - they follow an order or a method you may call it to do their workout. This is what we call a work out schedule; where it details what exercise to do, when it should be done and for how long i.e. number of sets and reps (repetitions). This would make our lives easier by not wanting to by heart everything - it's on a paper.
So any beginner when you go to a gym, what you should first do is to talk to the instructor and get a work out schedule for you to follow during, say, next 2 months.
A work out schedule is given after looking at your physique, after looking at which muscles you have developed & which you need more attention and by understanding your daily routine - what you eat, what sort of a job you do, how many hours you sleep, etc.
For a beginner, a work out schedule/chart may have lesser number of exercises compared to a seasoned gym rat and the number of exercises may vary due to your experience & your endurance levels.
