Workout Wednesday #7(Late)

Intro:
     When doing exercise intensely, protein intake is important for your body for many reasons.  Protein can help your body grow when taking the right amount and I believe it helps out with repairing the body as well.  This can be found in all of the foods we eat today but not everything we eat that contains protein is going to help you gain strength and increase size.  Every person is different so everyone's protein intake should be different.  Also everyone may not like simply taking a "protein powder" in following traditional methods of taking in your protein each day.

Workout Wednesday #3

Intro:
    Now it is time for the 3 day split!  This isn't so much of a drastic change from the 2 day split from last week where instead of focusing solely on upper body one day to lower body the next day, here you are focusing on different muscle groups each day.  With the three day split it seems like you are doing less work than the 2 day split but that is because you are adding an extra day to split up the workouts throughout the week.  This way, even though you are doing less exercises in any given workout day, you should be adding even more intensity to your workouts each time you go to the gym.  Also by doing this split unlike most other splits, it allows you to recover the other days muscle groups without really using that muscle group.

Workout Wednesday #2

Intro:
     Today I will be talking about the two day split.  This is a follow up from last weeks Workout Wednesday where I talked about the one day split.  Again just to let you guys know, a "split" is just a weight lifting schedule that someone can follow weekly.  This "split" tells you what muscle groups to workout what days of the week or how many times a week.  It will also tell you how many sets you should do and how many repetitions you should do during your workout.  This usually varies for everyone who designs their own workout.  I will share with you the two day split that I have used in the past.

Workout Wednesday #1

Introduction:
     For the first Workout Wednesday post, I would like to introduce you all to the exercise routine I started doing when I began to take exercising seriously. A "split" is just a weight lifting schedule that you follow weekly.  This "split" tells you what muscle groups to workout what days of the week or how many times a week.  It will also tell you how many sets you should do and how many repetitions you should do during your workout.  It is important to have a split in my opinion, otherwise you will just be going to the gym and either be under training a body part(usually the legs get neglected) or over training a body part(usually the biceps get over trained). The best part of using a split is how easily you can modify it to suit what you are trying to do. Also many people online have also already posted their splits online on other websites such as bodybuilding.com which is where I usually get my workout supplements and information.
