Barbell Exercises
When people get started with weight training, they often do not realize the value of barbell exercises.
Experts recommend that beginners should exercise for 4 days and rest for three in a schedule similar to the following: * Back, Abs, Biceps on Day 1 * Hamstrings, Abs and Shoulders on Day 2 * Forearms, Calves and Quad on Day 3 * Triceps, Chest and Abs on Day 4.
Your rest days should be in between these days.
As you can see using barbells for your exercises targets the Abs, helping you to develop that six-pack you've always wanted.
For beginners, there are certain exercises they should start with.
For the chest, use the bench press.
For the shoulders, the front shrug, military press and upright row are the ones you should start with.
A lying triceps extension with or without the EX curl bar works well.
The standing curl and the EZ standing curl are the ones you should start with for the biceps and squats, reverse lunges and calf raises help tone the lower body.
A bent over row using a barbell is a great exercise to include in your regimen once you get used to using these free weights.
Before starting any of the exercises, you should make sure you include a warm up time to loosen the muscles.
This will let you work longer without getting muscle fatigue.
You should also cool down to allow the muscles time to recuperate from the taxing routine.
You also need to get to know your muscles and signs of fatigue so that you don't have any downtime because of injuries.
