Hi, I have just started weight training. The gym I goto is reasonably equipped, but they dont have a trainer. However, I got hold of one personal trainer, and he made a schedule for me. Can you let me know your views on it please
My height is 176 cm (5Ft9In) and 136 lbs (62 kgs).So I am fairly skinny (wrist size 13.5cm), but have a belly which I am trying to reduce
Monday
Triceps
Lat Extension 3 10
One Arm Dumbell 3 10
Tuesday

Military Press 3 10
Upright Rowing 3 10

Bench Press 3 10
Inclined Press 3 10

I have started multivitamins and am planning to take Whey Protein twice a day. Apart from that am planning to watch what I eat carefully. I dont want to be too big, just fit and be able to take of my shirt at the beach.
Would love any suggestions please? Did post this in the new members section, but no responses yet...figured this forum is more accessed..
Thanks

Just beginning, this is probably not the best option for you. One muscle per day, is more for later, if at all for a natural trainee.
As weird as it sounds, you have to get your body ready to work out. I would suggest a full body workout 3 days per week to begin, rest Saturday and Sunday. Do 2 exercises per large bodypart, one small ones.
Do this for about 12 weeks, then think about maybe some type of split.

Ok, I spoke to him and in fact my trainer told me to workout 2 days and rest one day. My schedule is Triceps, chest and legs on one day and shoulder, biceps and back on the other day. then rest and repeat. Does this sound better?
also, surprisingly, I used to think you should rest before sets, but he insists that I dont wait more than 10 seconds between sets. Is that ok?
I am starting creatine and myloplex as supplements as well
