Basic Resistance Training -Where to Start

Give me a Routine

A very common request with a difficult answer. However, there is a basic idea that is easy to understand, Nike says it best, "Just Do It".

The SAID Principle

SAID stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. What does that mean? It refers to the principle of adaptation that your body uses to get stronger to meet physical demands that are placed on it. Specificity refers not only to exercise selection but also refers to how the exercise is done when lifting (fast/slow), and to the number of sets, repetitions, and amount of rest taken.

Basically this means that changing up your workout is necessary, it keeps you from plateauing and increases muscle gain.
