Whats A Good Weight Lifting Routine I Can Do At Home?
Posted by Guest on October 14, 2009
I am 16 years old, male and need a weight lifting routine that will build up my arms, chest and shoulders.
Preferably one that does not require a gym weight room. I honestly do not have the time, with dancing, work, and school and my existing exersize routine. (Mostly cardio and Abs)
I can purchase dumbells and other weights and do what i need to at home. But please do not suggest diet pills or any of that crap. Thanks for the help.

Hi, Free weight exercises are more effective for building muscle then machine exercises at home. Machines make the exercises easier to perform. How ever You will get less muscle stimulation from machine exercises because they do not require the same concentration or effort as free weight exercises. Free weights have a greater ability to involve stabilizer muscles than machines. Free weights put you in a natural, 3 dimensional environment for exercise.
The majority of your exercises should be compound free weight exercises. This does not mean that you should avoid machine exercises or isolation exercises. They are easy to learn and there is a low risk of injury, which is great for people who are just starting out or for rehabilitation purposes. And there are some good machine exercises that cannot be duplicated with free weights such as various cable pulley exercises. However, the majority of lifters should always base their workouts around compound, free weight exercises and supplement their workouts with machine and isolation exercises.
