Beyond Buffet Gains: Level Up Your Strength Training with the Arnold Split

-

Hi my friends,

A reddit user asked a fundamental but needful question:

”Do I absolutely have to follow full body workout as a beginner?

I've heard people saying that as a beginner, you should take it slow and train full body atleast for a few days before you start any other advanced splits. I do have the time everyday to workout and I also have some experience working out. I do know proper forms for most exercises. Do I still need to start with full body workouts at start?

I was thinking about starting with Arnold split (6 days per week). I don't have any particular goal, but I'd like to build muscles and strength..”

And here’s my thoughts:

Hey Buddy, 🚀��️

So, you're itching to level up your workout game, and I love that energy! Now, let's talk Arnold Split - sounds fancy, right? Like,

"Move over Arnie, I got this!"

But before we dive into the strength training, let me drop some knowledge bombs on ya!

Full-Body Fandango vs. Arnold Awesomeness! 💪🕺
Full-body workouts are like the buffet of gains. You get a bit of everything on your plate, and it's fantastic for beginners — simple, effective, and hits all the right spots! BUT, if you're feeling like a workout maverick, ready for a 6-day fiesta, the Arnold Split might be your jam. It's like choosing a gourmet meal plan for your muscles. More days, more focus, and more gains!

Breaking Chains, Not Gains! ⛓️��
The gym isn't a prison; it's your liberation chamber! If full-body feels like a warm-up and you're craving a workout symphony, unleash the Arnold Split. It's a liberation proclamation for your muscles. They're gonna dance to the rhythm of iron, and trust me, it's gonna be a party!

Arnold's Symphony of Gains! 🎶💪
Arnold didn't sculpt his body with a dull chisel; he had a strategy. The Arnold Split is like composing a symphony of muscle growth. It's not just about lifting; it's about the orchestration of your fitness journey. Chest, back, shoulders, arms — each with its day in the spotlight, creating a masterpiece of strength and gains!

Mind the Pitfalls, Fitness Wanderer! ⚠️��
But hey, watch your step in the fitness wilderness! More days mean more chances to slack off. Stay focused, stay disciplined, and don't let the gym become your own version of the Upside Down from Stranger Things — a place where gains disappear into the abyss.

Balancing Act: Your Body, Your Rules! ⚖️��
Remember, whether you're into full-body bonanza or the Arnold escapade, balance is key. Your body, your rules. Listen to what it's telling you, and don't be afraid to switch things up if needed. Flexibility is not just for splits; it's for your strength training routine too!

Now, go out there and make Arnold proud! Flex those muscles, own those lifts, and may your gains be as legendary as Arnie's biceps!

Faithfully yours,

Strength Training with Gary

EXERCISE: Gym Workouts Aug.28, 2023 - Plank Ab Crunches

Hi friends, Happy to share with you another view of my working on those Plank Ab Crunches with my son.  It involves hooking my legs onto hanging ropes, with my hand in a resting plank position. Then my legs will crunch up to my abs. It strengthens my core and abs in the process. Here's the video: Each set last for 1 minute, then rest for 20 secs. Then repeat 3 more times. The first time I ever did it, I couldn't keep it up even 2 reps without resting immediately after. My knee surrender easily, and my breathing was heavy.  But I kept on pushing those baby steps, every time. Now I can carry out the motion without much difficulty. It built up my core and my abs. I'm proud to be doing it with and setting up an example for my son. Thanks for your attention. Gary

EXERCISE: Pull-Ups - The Ultimate Upper Body Exercise (But Not the Only One) Dear friend, Pull-ups are often hailed as a fantastic upper body exercise, but are they truly a full upper body workout?  Well, the short answer is, yes. They do engage a significant portion of your upper body muscles, making them a valuable addition to your exercise routine. However, like most things in life, the devil is in the details, and if you're looking for a comprehensive upper body workout, there's more to consider. When you perform a pull-up, you primarily target your latissimus dorsi , the large muscles in your back. These muscles are responsible for the pulling motion and play a vital role in developing a strong and well-defined back. Additionally, your biceps, forearms, and shoulders are also heavily involved during the exercise. So, it's evident that pull-ups provide substantial benefits for these muscle groups, making them a great upper body exercise. However, for a complete upper b

EXERCISE: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps - The Ultimate Guide to Building a Sculpted Upper Body Sure. Let's talk about the nitty-gritty of these exercises: Bench Press Shoulder Press Triceps Extensions (Visit: fit40strong.com ) The Bench Press Ballet: Bench pressing is your golden ticket to building a broad and powerful chest . It primarily targets your pectoral muscles but also works your triceps and shoulders . However, to ensure equal growth in all three areas, you must vary your grip width. A wider grip emphasizes the chest, a narrower grip targets the triceps, and a neutral grip focuses on the shoulders. (Visit fit40strong.com ) Rotate these grips to hit all the right spots. Shoulder Press Sensation: Shoulder presses are fantastic for developing those boulder-like deltoids. But remember, it's not just about the press itself; it's the variations that matter. Utilize seated, standing, and Arnold presses to engage different parts of your shoulders. (Visit  fit40strong
