A good result from classes in the gym is a consequence of proper exercise and a balanced diet. The training program in the gym for men should be based on certain principles and rules. Swinging haphazardly, simply performing various “interesting” exercises, it is easy to overload some muscle groups and leave others untrained. As a result, in addition to a low sports result, you can get health problems.
It is better to start acquaintance with bodybuilding with a basic system. It helps the body get acquainted with the loads, get used to them, prepare for further, more directed work. In fact, this is a launching pad to the "iron world". By the way, it is also used to recover after a break in classes in order to return the body to its previous rhythm. It is effective for no more than a month with the intensity of visiting the gym at least 3 times a week. Then the body gets used to it, and the muscles stop growing. You need to move to a more advanced level. Change exercises, increase weights, switch to a three-day system or targeted body work. The training program for men requires constant changes in order to remain effective. So, the base is a set of exercises of one lesson, the duration of which is 1-1.5 hours. It should be followed for about a month and done with free weights.

Bodybuilding for beginners

Each workout should open with a warm-up and cardio complex on a treadmill or bike. They can be performed for 10-15 minutes. After the warm-up, you can begin to power loads. Opposite each is indicated how many approaches and how many repetitions it needs to be done. For example, if 2 x 10 is written, then 2 sets of 10 repetitions are performed.

Hanging leg raises: 2 to 15

Bench press in the prone position: 2 or 3 to 10

Twisting: 2 to 15

Oblique crunches: 2 to 15

Seated Dumbbell Press: 2 or 3 x 10

Breeding dumbbells, performed lying down: 2 to 12

Breeding dumbbells, done while standing: 2 to 12

Horizontal pull - work in a block simulator: 2 to 12

Vertical pull - work with a wide grip: 2 or 3 to 12

Extension and flexion of the legs in a sitting position: 2 to 15

Hyperextension: 2 to 15

Classic leg press: 2 or 3 sets of 10

Leg curl, do lying down: 2 to 12

Work on the lower leg: 2 to 15

Work on triceps, swing down on the block: 2 to 12

Lifting the bar, we load on the biceps in a standing position: 2 to 10

All exercises are quite simple and combined in such a way as to be guaranteed to work out the whole body.

After 3-4 weeks, this scheme can be replaced with a three-day gym program for men. It is arranged on the principle of a split system. It is based on the effective principle: "pull the iron" to the stop. Muscles grow when they are constantly overexerted and overworked. However, after such intense training, they need a rest of several days for a full recovery. Working on the principle of splits, you can load only one specific muscle group at each workout. While some are working, others are restoring resources and preparing for new achievements. Three trips to the gym a week, three different complexes for separate parts of the body. You can practice according to the three-day principle for quite a long time, if you replace exercises with analogues every 2-3 weeks, increase weights and loads. Otherwise, at some point, the result will simply freeze and there will be no further progress. The description scheme in this case is the same: exercise-sets-repetitions.

Quantity repetitions, approaches, weights can be adjusted. By and large, they depend on the individual characteristics of the athlete. After spending some time in the hall, a person begins to feel and hear his body and is able to choose the optimal scheme himself. Until this happens, it is better to use ready-made complexes compiled by experienced bodybuilders. In addition to the right training program in the gym, proper nutrition is important for men. Protein shakes and a large amount of protein are necessary components for muscle growth. Not getting building material in the right amount, the body will begin to burn itself. Even the most balanced workout will not give the expected result.

Drying workouts for men

A feature of the training of a natural athlete is that he must maintain a sufficiently high weight of weights in 2-3 working approaches. The rest of the volume can be feasibly reduced. It is important to add a reasonable amount of cardio, no more than 150 minutes per week, so as not to overload the central nervous system, joints and ligaments.

But some special sets of exercises for cutting for men are a myth. You can perform at least the previous complex, at least the first, depending on which one is better tolerated and you like it more. The key to the fact that the result will be good muscle mass and a minimum of fat is a high weight of weights. Therefore, reduce the number of working approaches, and add cardio.

Should I turn my 3 day splits into 5 day splits with extra cardio? A natural male athlete has no such need at all. On the contrary, it is better to do some cardio after strength training, and provide yourself with high household activity on the weekend.

And in order to improve endurance and, for example, results in running, it is worth planning a separate training cycle, and not introducing running into “drying” workouts.

In addition to training, it is important to provide yourself with a balanced diet of quality products, and regular quality rest. If you seriously decide to devote time to the gym, you should start and devote time to proper rest and recovery. First of all, it means a night's sleep for 8 hours a day. And besides - a full-fledged distraction from work on the weekend. Otherwise, any man can feel better and build an athletic body, doing complex exercises in the gym 3 times a week.

Working out in the gym gives you a huge number of benefits. For example, they allow you to lose weight, get rid of problem areas, form muscles, and raise the tone of the body.

First you need to think about your problem, in addition, set real tasks that need to be solved in order to find a beautiful and slender figure. To do this, you need to choose a fitness club to your liking. Different institutions give the opportunity to go to a trial first lesson for free. There they will measure you, weigh you, determine the areas that need to be worked out, and also select a set of exercises in the gym for men (including those over 40 years old) to bring your body into shape. The trainer will tell you how to correctly distribute the load. This is important, as your muscles will work to their full potential, and more calories will be burned only with the right nutrition and approach.

Food

A properly selected set of exercises in the gym for men is not all. Your success also depends on your diet. Here are some recommendations:

If more than 3 hours pass between meals and training, you need to have a snack. So, it can be fresh fruits, dried fruits, corn flakes, cereal bars.
3 hours before training, you need to eat carbohydrate-rich foods - rice, fruits, potatoes, bread.
If you work out in the morning, eat some carb-heavy food on the way to the gym, and then just have a normal breakfast - cereal with milk, fresh fruit with low-fat yogurt, or a sandwich.
Water during physical activity is an important element. You need to drink it after and before training about two glasses. If the exercises are very long and intense, then you need to drink 2 to 4 glasses of water.
If the workout ends in the evening, then you need to eat some carbohydrates, proteins with the addition of a small amount of vegetables or fruits.
