go into comments trying to type some BS like oh Winnie but I have seen this guy on Tik Tok and he said it's a must to ex dude shut up all right it's probably some guy with a dangling earring who just finished the 30-day Trend challenge so I wouldn't really be listening to what he has to say I completed the 30-day Trend Challenge and the results might just shock you the challenge is simple take trend for 30 days and see how much progress you can actually make all right now that we got this out of
the way I can now show you a training plan that you can do which focuses on the basic which are going to be the important building blocks moving forward because as a matter of fact all the fancy exercises are based on the most basic variation of the exercise so if you were to start with all the fancy exercises instead of the basics it would be just like building the roof of the house before you even build the foundation in the first place so this is the routine it's made of workout a and workout B it's
specifically made to teach you the basic moving patterns if you are just starting out run this program for at least 3 to 6 months once you master all the basics you can slowly move to more advanced stuff like isolation exercises yes this program has no isolation exercises as I believe that if you are a complete beginner there is no point in doing any isolation exercises because you have no idea where the muscle you are isolating even is so you would just end up doing some movements that are most likely not working the muscle that they
are supposed to nor teaching you how to Target that muscle specifically the only isolation exercise in this workout is the bicep scroll because I think that this is a movement pattern worth practicing plus everyone wants to have a big biceps so you can start building them right away I knew that you would have added them to the workout anyway I know how you think I'm in your head this workout I'm about to give you is a 4-day split which consists of workout a and workout B so the way you can schedule it can be for
example like this or like this or in any other way you find convenient for you and before you start the workout warm up at least a little bit I'm not forcing you to spend 15 minutes stretching just warm up the most important joints like shoulders wrists knees and hips you don't need to do anything fancy just think of what you used to do in school in your PE classes you are clever you can figure it out all right now that your body is warmed up we can start with the workout a where you do chest
shoulders triceps and legs you start out with bench press and then move on to the incline bench press you can choose if you want to do them with dumbbells or a barbell but I would recommend you to try both variations over time for both bench press and incline bench press you want to do three sets of 10 reps this was the chest focused part now let's move on to the shoulders for shoulders you will do overhead press for sets of eight reps here the same thing applies you can choose between dumbbells or a barbell and
also Al if you want to perform the exercise sitting or standing and as I said before start out with the variation you like more but over time definitely try all the variations so you can figure out which one is the best for you but don't jump from variation to variation stick to one variation for a longer time and to finish this workout off you will do squats so do four sets of eight reps whoo whoo whoo slow down I hear you where are the triceps exercises you ask well oh the pushing exercises you did also
stimulated your triceps so this was more than enough work for your triceps you don't need any isolation exercises for now so this was the workout a now let me show you the workout B this workout focuses on your back biceps and legs you start out with pull-ups if you can't do pull-ups just yet do some version of assisted pull-ups either using a band or let someone hold your legs or just do negatives which means that you jump up on the bar into the top position and then slowly lower yourself down or you can just start
with the light pull down machine and then you move on to the barbell row for both of these exercises do three sets of 10 reps and next up we have the deadlift do four sets of a reps and if you are really struggling with the deadlift you can start just by lifting the empty bar don't be ashamed no one is going to judge you it's better to leave your ego at the door and master the technique properly then try to lift something that you can't and injuring yourself in the process and to finish off this
workout we got a biceps exercise I would recommend just the most basic curl variation either with dumbbells or a barbell three sets of 10 reps really focus on the technique no swinging around be mindful of what you are doing so this was the workout B and one more thing that will help you to master the technique of all exercises is to record your sets sometimes you think that you you are doing the exercise properly but when you look at the video of that set you will see that it really wasn't the case and no it's
not weird to take videos of your sets most of the people don't care what other people are doing if it's not harming them in some way you think that someone comes home in the evening and is like dudes today I saw a guy at the gym recording his sets LOL I was thinking about it the whole day people have enough of their own problems so don't worry about address if you follow this program exactly while applying Progressive overload you will learn all the basics while gaining a lot of muscle oh you are not sure what
Progressive overload is it basically means gradually increasing the difficulty of the exercise that you are doing so try to consistently add more weights to the bar every week that is what is the main driver of muscle growth and if you would like to learn more about Progressive overload click in the top right right now and also don't forget to track your workouts you can use the notepad in your phone or use a tracking app or just write it down on paper you want to keep track of how many sets and Reps you did and how
much weight you used so you can try to beat your previous record in your next workout that's how you can easily make sure that you are constantly progressively overloading so now that you are comfortable at the gym and you know what training plan to do the last two things that you might still be overwhelmed by are nutrition and supplementation let's start with nutrition you for sure heard about all the macros and micros and all the other stuff that just makes your head spin the only macro you need to care about is protein consume 0.8 to
1 g of protein per one pound of body weight you want to spread that protein intake relatively evenly between like 3 to 5 meals per day you don't need to eat 8 meals per day that's nonsense being between 3 to 5 meals is The Sweet Spot and don't worry you can eat way more protein than this and you will still be completely fine now let me tell you something about calories if you are skinny you need to bulk up to bulk up you need to stay in a calorie Surplus and if you want to cut
you need to be in a calorie deficit so the first thing you need to do is to find your maintenance calories you can do this easily by typing TDE calculator in your browser and after you enter your H weight height and your activity level it will give you your estimated maintenance calories and you can even click on the cutting SL bulking icons and it will tell you how many calories you should eat to achieve that goal plus it will also give you a macronutrient breakdown but as I said you don't need to worry about that
just focus on getting enough protein that's the only thing that matters the next question is should you cut if you are overweight I would say that you don't even need to cut if you aren't like extremely obese I would recommend you to stay in a slightly overweight State as you will be able to put on more muscle and you can cut down later when you gain more experience over the time and if you are a skinny fat I would also recommend you to bulk up a little bit because if you were to just cut you
would end up like a skeleton because you have no muscle to show and building muscle is way harder when you are skinny so don't forget to eat your food now let me tell you something about supplements if you want to take any supplements the only ones I would recommend are protein powder and creatine I wouldn't even recommend buying BCAAs or eaas as they are definitely not needed they are just a cherry on top protein powder is a great supplement if you are not getting enough protein in your diet and it's also very useful for making
various high protein recipes but it's definitely not needed if your diet is on point and creatine is very cheap so if you want to get a nice little boost this would be the choice consume 5 grams every day and don't start with the oh am I going to lose my hair just take your five grams and don't overwhelm yourself with stuff that doesn't matter matter and because you made it all the way here I will show you this visual representation of how things impact your muscle gain if this video didn't get rid of all of
your fear and confusion yet then this will as you can see by covering all the basics consuming enough protein and sleeping well you just covered everything that you need to just by doing these simple and basic things the rest are just the smallest things imaginable that are just simply not necessary if you are relatively new to the gym or if you are not a competitive bodybuilder always remember that after a certain point the effort you put into something is just so high and the outcome so small that it's most likely not worth approaching if it's
not something that your life depends on if you are a heart surgeon of course you got to learn even about the rarest heart diseases you might only encounter once in your life but if you are a gym bro wondering about if you should take six G of creatine instead of five does that really matter is the potential 0.0 0 1% increase worth all the stress and time you put into it definitely not so I guess it's not only a bodybuilding lesson but also A Life Lesson of some sort so I hope I got rid of
all of your fears and uncertainties and that you now don't feel overwhelmed anymore if you are a beginner and you still have some questions ask them in the comments below I will be more than happy to answer all of them thank you for watching this whole video and if you got a friend who wants to start going to the gym please send them this video thanks
