Even though this Barbell Muscle Building routine is a beginner level program, it could really be used by anyone. If you’re a training novice, perform all exercises using just the bar. An unloaded Olympic bar is 45 pounds. The idea is to then add enough resistance to the bar, over time, to complete the specified repetitions. If at any time you can perform more than the suggested repetitions then it’s time to increase the load by 5% to 10% for upper and lower body exercises respectively.

Half of the exercises in this routine are what’s known as compound movements or multi-joint exercises. These are ideal for muscle hypertrophy and building strength. Work Hard & Stay Focused.

Equipment Needed

Olympic Bar
Bench
Stability
Weight plate

Note - if you don’t have something other than the suggested Olympic bar, you CAN STILL DO THE WORKOUT!

Warm-up

Spend 5-15 minutes rolling out all your major muscle groups. No foam roller ? Then do a brief dynamic warm-up or jump rope for 5 minutes.

Stay Strong Together!
