Weightlifting BeginnerProven weight training for beginners will force you to build bigger musclesA weightlifting beginner needs the structure of a proven muscle building program. Beginner weightlifting is not all about building arm muscles, though that's where most guys focus. When most guys get bitten by the weight training bug, they tend to get advice from a relative who's had some experience and success, guys at the gym where they joined, or worst of all...muscle magazines. The great thing about beginner weight training is that you can see significant improvement in a short amount of time. An untrained participant will make gains far more easily than a guy who's been lifting for two or three years. However, where beginners get into trouble is when the plateau and stall in their gains. They have no idea how to right the ship and begin to incorporate any suggestion that sounds remotely plausible, even if it is idiotic or unsound. If you are a weightlifting beginner, or if you are new to weight training and have hit a plateau, the best thing you can do is adhere to a proven program to restart muscle growth. 
The best proven program we have found for guys who are weight training beginners is The Truth About Building Muscle put together by Sean Nalewanyj. He took himself from a skinny, geeky, unathletic wimp to a rock-hard specimen with a body women want to touch. Starting with a weight set from Sears (can you believe it?), he carved out a dense and muscular build that you can duplicate. The central theme to Sean's weightlifting beginner program is "Building muscle is one of the simplest things to understand, but one of the most difficult to implement." Too many guys get sidetracked by distractions like fading desire, confusion about building bigger muscles by reading slick magazines, and giving in to laziness. If you want to build bigger muscles, you must workout like an athlete. You must want it as badly as you ever wanted anything in your life. It must be long-term and it CANNOT be half-way. * You will perform 3 INTENSE workouts per week.
