Six months? A year? Five years? No worries: The following routines will get you back on track in—you guessed it—just four short weeks. Train three days this first week, performing just one exercise per bodypart in each session.

The exercises listed in Week 1 are a collection of basic moves that, while also used by advanced lifters, we feel are suitable for the beginner as well.

Reason being, these are the exercises you need to master for long-term gains in muscular size and strength , so you may as well start learning them now. Carefully read all exercise descriptions before attempting them yourself. This rep scheme is widely considered ideal for achieving gains in muscle size the scientific term is hypertrophy and is commonly employed by amateur and pro bodybuilders alike.

Notice in the workouts below that your first set calls for eight reps, your second set 10 reps and your third set For example, if on your first set of lat pulldowns you used pounds for eight reps, try using or pounds on set two and — pounds on set three.

Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday will be your recovery days. Several exercises from Week 1 are carried over to Week 2, but one move is added to each bodypart routine—with the exception of abs—so you can train all muscle groups more completely from multiple angles.

Chest, for example, includes two exercises: One is a compound movement dumbbell bench press that involves multiple joints both the shoulder and elbow to work the largest amount of muscle possible, and the other is an isolation exercise dumbbell flye that involves only one joint shoulder and targets the pecs to a greater extent.

Fifteen reps may be just outside the ideal muscle-building range, but these sets will help you increase muscular endurance to provide a solid foundation on which to build size and strength going forward.

One new exercise is added to each bodypart routine to provide even more angles from which to train your target muscles to promote complete development.

The result is 16 total sets for the week for large bodyparts and 12 sets total for smaller ones—again, working in the 8—rep range—which is a substantial increase in volume from Week 1. Four-day splits are common among experienced lifters because they involve training fewer bodyparts typically 2—3 per workout, which gives each muscle group ample attention and allows you to train with higher volume.

No new exercises are introduced in Week 4 so that you can focus on intensity in your workouts instead of learning new movements. Rep schemes remain in the hypertrophy range this week, but overall volume increases by adding more sets to individual exercises: up to five sets per move for larger bodyparts, and even 10 sets of calf raises on Thursday.

Completion of this four-week program now entitles you to go to the next stage. Ideally, we want the 30 reps of ground to overhead to be done in 2 minutes or less. Reduce the reps to fit within that timeframe, if you need to.

Remember to pull the bag in close toward your shins before driving hard and fast through the legs to accelerate it upward. Movement Customizations. Then you'll rest 1 mintue. Then you'll cycle through 10 hang snatches on both arms followed by 5 jumps as many times as you can in 5 minutes.

Then you're done! The jumps are the common denominator between these two AMRAPs. Choose a height that you are confident with. It helps to use your arms for momentum while you're jumping - so reach your hands back behind you as you load your hips back, then throw them forward as you jump!

Go with a weight for the snatches that you can do 10 reps in a row with. You shouldn't need to break those up. But the key here will be to find a rhythm of breathing as you move through the jumping to squatting.

We want to highlight your endurance and stamina in action. The jumping part should take a minute or less, and each set of Wall Balls including transition time should take seconds or less.

Focus on keeping the ball close to your chest and explode on the way up to hit your target. Go with a pull up variation that you know you can do reps of at a time no matter what. Those 12 reps should take you absolutely no longer than 45 seconds.

The jumping part should take a minute or less, and each set of thrusters including transition time should take seconds or less. Focus on a strong front rack position while still maintaining a full grip on the bar to help press overhead and actively pull the bar back down to increase your cycling speed.

Focus on keeping your elbows high during the squat. Do another 4 rounds or until To hit the goal, you'll need to complete squats and inverted rows each round. Be careful not to come out of the gates too hot on the squats, since you have to do two sets per round without given rest.

Extra Challenge Men: 50 DBs Women: 35 DBs. Maybe this doesn't look like much "on paper" but hanging onto a pair of dumbbells across 36 reps 3x12 is a pretty tough feat.

When it gets tough and you're starting to doubt yourself, focus your efforts on using your legs to drive the dumbbells upward. You are allowed to pause, but only overhead, at the shoulders, or with them hanging in your arms by your sides which is not recommended.

If you want to challenge yourself further but don't have a heavier pair of dumbbells, reduce the rest OR increase to reps per movement.

Maybe this doesn't look like much "on paper" but hanging onto a barbell across 21 reps 3x7 is a pretty tough feat. Be smart about the weight you choose. If, after your first round, you were able to complete the unbroken and you had a few more reps left in the tank, you probably chose a good weight.

If you barely had it in you to finish those 21 reps, you might have gone too heavy - but it's worth sticking with to find out. And, obviously, if you fail, you need to lighten the load. You are allowed to pause, but only overhead, at the shoulders, or with in hanging in your arms at your hips which is not recommended.

If you do break it's up to you if you want to count that as one of your sets or not. Rest 30 seconds. Repeat until you've done 10 rounds. We're working on your stamina in this workout.

Usually, you can take a break whenever you feel like it and technically you can still do that today - ha ha but the workout is written so that you do all 15 reps in a row without resting. That means you need to pick a weight that will allow you to do that. The press is likely going to be the limiting factor - whatever you can press, you'll definitely be able to clean.

When you complete the press, you'll lower the dumbbell s back to your sides to start the next rep. Today's workout is on the longer side.

The first meter run should take between If you're close to or over 5 minutes when you return from the run, you should probably reduce the distance on the second one. The Atlas lunge forces you to be under tension for a long time for each rep, so even though it's "only" 8, they could take up to a minute to perform.

Choose a load that you can do at least reps of at a time. Today's Toes to Bar reps is THAT number that can make or break some of us.

So it is totally fine to break these up into sets that prevent total fatigue. It is hard to recover quickly when your core is tired out. Sets of reps could be perfect to be done in or less. Then AMRAP As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible until the clock hits 18 Minutes Complete as I go - You go rounds.

Note there are TWO scores for this Partner Workout. So you still need to hit that last run hard! You and your partner will begin this workout completing the run together. Push yourselves to be done in or less or feel free to reduce the distance to finish in that timeframe.

With about minutes remaining after the first run, one partner works at a time to complete 1 round of the Atlas Lunge and Toes to Bar while the other partner rests. You will continue this alternating format until the clock hits Shoot for one round per partner to be done in seconds. The intention is to move quickly and unbroken, so you can also customize here to maintain this intensity.

At , immediately head out for your final run and push each other to go hard to beat your first run time! We might not be there in person to cheer you on, but you are not alone.

Street Parking workouts come with tips from coaches to help you achieve the desired workout goals. You get advice on pacing, strategy, and movement tips to ensure that you're on track. We have different programs to help you achieve your fitness goals and keep you consistent. Whether you want to get stronger, do your first pull-up, improve endurance, do Olympic lifting, or even just throw a sandbag around, we have something for you.

Check out some sample workouts from our Extra Programs and Maintenance videos for recovery. Suggested Weight: Men: DBs Women: DBs. It's okay if the knee bends a little more than in a regular RDL with these. We are primarily going for glute activation on these, you will feel in the hamstrings too so pay attention as you are moving and make little adjustments as you go to make sure you are feeling it in the right place!

On The regular deadlifts, if the back is rounding or you are struggling with a full range of motion, try a sumo stance variation. The bent over rows will go a little faster, 12 reps should take about a minute, moving continuously.

For the first two parts, you should be moving basically nonstop for about 2 minutes followed by no more than a minute of rest in each set. These are single leg RDLs with your back foot supported by a bench, step, or stack of plates.

The height should be slightly lower than what you would use for a split squat if possible. The back foot is used mostly for balance, the work should be performed by the front leg.

Holding a dumbbell in each hand with a slight bend in the front knee, hinge forward keeping a long spine until the hands go just below the knees. Keep your belly tight the whole time. Drive through the front heel and slowly raise your chest back to an upright torso.

Lower for at least 3 seconds, pause in the bottom, raise for at least 3 seconds, pause in the top position but keep the front leg engaged.

The DBs will start on the ground. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Hands and grip are outside of the legs. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! To lift the DBs drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest.

Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top. To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DBs go below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DBs back to the starting position under control.

Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch at the bottom. Make sure that in the set up position, the shoulders are higher than the hips every time, so bend those knees! Set up by deadlifting the dumbbells to just below the knee.

From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - pull one elbow back and bring the dumbbell to just below the chest. Do not allow your shoulders to shrug. Keep them drawn down and away from the ears with shoulder blades slightly retracted at all times.

Keep the belly tight. Bring the dumbbell back to just below the knee with the arm straight at the bottom and repeat with the other arm. These are to be performed very slowly, so there should be absolutely no momentum or assistance from the hips.

If your back is really lighting up and engaging the belly more is not helping, go with 6 supported single arm bent over rows on each side.

Pick one weight to stick with each minute or add weight each time! Whatever feels good and allows you to move with proper form. If you'd like, when the clock hits 16 Min - spend 4 minutes hitting heavy Squat Clean singles one rep at a time!

Street Parking Endurance is meant for anyone looking to build a bigger engine through extra work on the rower, bike or running. If not just keep the appropriate paces and times. Goal: Do NOT mess up the pacing trying to get a better score. Each interval is its own separate event. Each interval is broken up into thirds easy, moderate, hard.

As example, the 12min has a 4min easy run, 4min moderate run, 4min hard run. The pacing is reset after every interval.

The key to this workout is the easy is EASY and the hard is HARD. What this means is that HARD for 4 min is slower than HARD for 1 min, etc.

Base it off of that level of effort in that given time domain. As example, the 12min has a 4min easy row, 4min moderate row, 4min hard row.

What this means is that HARD for 4 min is slower than HARD for 1 min etc. As example, the 12min has a 4min easy bike, 4min moderate bike, 4min hard bike. Total Distance: Meters. Score: Total Time including rest. Your FAST for and are not the same necessarily.

Do not mess up paces to get a better score. The rest is important! You will use a plate or stack of plates , phone books are those still a thing?

Make sure you don't set them up too wide. You will perform a slow lower push up for reps. Press up at normal speed to complete lockout. After you have completed of the slow lower push ups you will immediately move off of the plates and do as many reps as you can of regular push ups. These must be WITH GOOD SOLID TECHNIQUE.

No shorting the reps. No sagging, snaking, worming, or hips up. Chest and thighs touch at the bottom. All of the way up at the top. For the plank up downs - maintaining a solid plank position is the main focus. Keep your butt down. You are not trying to get as many reps as possible, rather, you want to be moving at a steady pace with good positions for as long as you can up to a full minute each time.

Accumulate a minute, so only count the time that you are moving toward your minute. Over time you will be able to go the full minute. Street Parking has options for everyone, whether you're new to working out, taking a break, or exercising every day. You can be consistent with your fitness goals no matter where you are in life, and it all starts with you taking control.

If you're new to working out, you can start with Street Parking On Ramp program for FREE to build confidence before joining. This program is designed for beginners to build a strong foundation for our SHIFT program. With a Street Parking membership, you get more tools like workout logging, movement customization options, mama modification suggestions, and maintenance suggestions.

HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM: 3 sessions per week. If you can only make 2 per week work, that's totally fine. One session is all you need for the day. On non-On Ramp days, check out some Maintenance or get outside for some light movement - like a minute walk!

MAKE SURE TO WATCH FULL 'HOW IT WORKS' VIDEO TO GET THE MOST YOU CAN OUT OF THIS PROGRAM! For this workout, you'll start a clock or stopwatch and complete 7 presses followed immediately by 10 air squats.

That is one round. After that, do another 4 rounds. When you've done your final squat in your final round, you'll check the time on the clock or watch.

That is the score you will log for this workout. When choosing a weight for the presses, the dumbbell s should feel light enough that you can perform all 7 reps in a row without needing to rest. Take your time with both movements and practice solid technique. Be sure to watch the Technique Videos for the press and squat by swiping left or tapping the right arrow on the video above!

For this one, you'll set up a timer counting down or up, whatever you prefer from 8 minutes. Start the timer and perform 16 single unders or 16 toe taps, then 8 lunges alternating legs each time, 4 per leg , and finally 4 push ups.

After the 4th push up, you've completed one round. You'll continue to cycle through those movements until 8 minutes are up.

Let's say you're able to complete 5 full rounds in 7 minutes. With the 1 minute remaining, you'll do as many reps in the 6th round as you can until The lunges are alternating, which means you'll perform a lunge on a different leg each rep.

For 8 alternating reps, you'll be doing 4 per leg. Be sure to watch the Technique Videos for the Push Up and the Lunge. If you are having trouble with either or both of the movements, check out the Customizations for more accessible options.

This workout is very straightforward. You'll start a clock or stopwatch and do 6 deadlifts and then immediately do 3 burpees. Repeat 8 more times for a total of 9 rounds. At the end of your ninth round, check the time on the clock or watch. Choose a weight for the deadlifts that allows you to move well and perform all 6 reps in a row without taking a break.

That doesn't mean you need to move quickly, but that you are confident and comfortable with the weight you've chosen. Take your time with the burpee reps.

It is a big movement but is manageable when performed step by step. To set yourself up for success for both of these movements, watch the Technique Videos provided above. We recommend having a running clock visible for this workout.

You'll start the clock and from , you'll perform as many air squats as you can. At , you'll transition to performing as many inverted rows as you can until At , you'll choose a movement to move through continuously until At that point, you'll rest until To complete 5 rounds, you'll repeat all of that until Keep a running count of the reps you perform.

So, if you do 10 squats then you'd start counting the inverted rows at If you perform 13 inverted rows, your running count at the end of round 1 would be Jot that number down on a scrap sheet of paper or whiteboard, then start your count over in round 2. At the end of the workout, you'll add those 5 numbers together, and that's your score!

pretty much anything that keeps you moving and gets your heart rate up. All of your accessory work exercises meant to strengthen your main lift of the day will be built around those exercises. A slight variation of this method is called the push-pull-leg workout split , which is when you do an upper-body push day, a lower-body day, and an upper-body pull day.

If you want to overhead press, you can also do that on the push day. This option is also are common among powerlifters since each day naturally emphasizes the deadlift, back squat , and bench press.

The exercises you choose for your program should reflect your primary goals. All your other exercises called accessory or assistance exercises will support those lifts.

Athletes who want to build muscle will still benefit from performing those basic compound movements. To develop a firmer understanding of your choices of exercises, it helps to be familiar with the components of compound exercises.

These movements are multi-joint and require ample neural drive, mental focus, coordination, technique, and muscle recruitment. For these reasons, you should program these movements at the beginning of your workout.

Below are some of the most fundamental compound exercises you might choose to start your workouts with. Compound movements are what give you the most bang for your buck in training, so you must put most of your energy and focus into strengthening them.

Accessory lifts are less demanding movements that help create balance in your body. They complement your compound exercises. These movements involve one joint, such as barbell curls , lateral raises , and triceps pushdowns.

Athletes use accessories to improve upon weaknesses and muscular imbalances. These moves also add extra volume to targeted muscle areas.

For those who want to build muscle, accessory exercises are as important as compound lifts. Above are examples of upper body and lower body accessory movements.

In short: After your dynamic warm-up , start each workout with compound exercises to bolster strength and recruit the most muscles. Yes, do this even if your main goal is building maximum muscle mass.

Complete your workout with accessory movements to support your strength gains and isolate smaller muscles. When you want to build muscle or if you simply enjoy variety, you can plan to incorporate more accessory exercises.

Below are two examples of how you may structure a strength-focused and muscle hypertrophy -focused workout sets and reps are not included, but they will be discussed below.

A set is how many times you do those repetitions. Certain goals require specific rep ranges. For strength, a lower rep range allows you to lift heavier weight. For muscle growth, working in the six to 12 rep range can yield enough time under tension to grow your muscles.

Go much higher than that and expect to be looking at more endurance-oriented gains. Check out our rep chart above.

Rest is an important factor in a well-designed program and can also be used as a training tool. You can use rest times as a way to track progressive overload when working towards a goal. For example, resting less in between sets can help increase your muscular endurance.

There are multiple ways to assess how long you should rest, but the general rest times below are a good rule of thumb. You have a goal in mind, a workout split laid out, and your exercises are chosen along with set and rep schemes for each. Enter progressive overload — the method of making your workouts slightly more challenging each session.

During your next workout, do three sets of 11 reps. Then, do three sets of 12 reps and then 13 reps. After four weeks of upping the rep count, add five pounds to the barbell and then start all over at three sets of 10 reps. That method can be applied to every exercise throughout your beginner program.

With intermediate or advanced trainees, everyone is within some sane range and level of fitness and will be capable of doing similar workouts. But with beginners, you get ALL kinds of people in ALL kinds of different situations and conditions who are NOT all capable of the same exercises, workouts and routines.

For example, should an overweight 50 year old woman who sometimes has trouble getting up a flight of stairs do the exact same sample beginner workout as a fit and athletic 20 year old guy or girl?

They could both be complete weight training beginners and benefit equally from the same routine, but the differences in what they can and maybe should be doing can vary big time. The best I or anyone else can ever do is lay out sample weight training programs that tend to be most ideal and effective in MOST cases and for MOST people.

This article is part of a completely free guide to creating the best workout routine possible for your exact goal. It starts here: The Ultimate Weight Training Workout Routine. So, good luck putting your workout routine together and have a nice life.

Wait… what? With benefits such as better quality sleep , a boost in brainpower , and increased levels of happiness , it's no wonder why exercise is such an important part of your daily routine.

The fact that you're getting up and out is a win in itself, but science and experts agree: There are loads of benefits to diversifying your workout plan, including avoiding injury. While it's not for everyone, you can work out every single day if you want to forgo a rest day — as long as you do so smartly.

This means caring for your body as you go and not overdoing it. So how do you structure your weekly workout plan to reduce injury and optimize results? After all, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's CDC recommendation is pretty broad: minutes of moderate activity every week examples include a brisk walk or a bike ride at a casual pace, per the national public health agency and two days of muscle-strengthening.

Look no further than this perfectly balanced weekly workout schedule courtesy of Rosante. It's no secret that strength training is a critical part of any weekly workout schedule.

Sure, dumbbells and barbells may look overwhelming at times, but strength training can help build lean muscle, increase bone strength, and prevent injury. Try this upper-body dumbbell workout or incorporate HIIT into your upper body training with this at-home bodyweight workout.

Check out this four-week weight training plan. When it comes to lifting, the general rule of thumb is to allow 48 hours of recovery time between working the same muscle group, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery.

When you train, you develop microscopic tears in the muscles that produce inflammation, and your body needs this in-between time to repair the tears.

That said, focus on lower-body strength on "day two" of your weekly workout plan to give upper body muscles a rest. While spacing out your weekly workout plan, avoid doing the "same activity on successive days," says Dr.

Not only do these fast-paced workouts take less time than others, but they can also provide the same health benefits as endurance activities, according to a study published in the Journal of Physiology. Six months?

A year? Five years? No worries: The following routines will get you back on track in—you guessed it—just four short weeks. Train three days this first week, performing just one exercise per bodypart in each session. The exercises listed in Week 1 are a collection of basic moves that, while also used by advanced lifters, we feel are suitable for the beginner as well.

Reason being, these are the exercises you need to master for long-term gains in muscular size and strength , so you may as well start learning them now. Carefully read all exercise descriptions before attempting them yourself. This rep scheme is widely considered ideal for achieving gains in muscle size the scientific term is hypertrophy and is commonly employed by amateur and pro bodybuilders alike.

Notice in the workouts below that your first set calls for eight reps, your second set 10 reps and your third set For example, if on your first set of lat pulldowns you used pounds for eight reps, try using or pounds on set two and — pounds on set three.

Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday will be your recovery days. Several exercises from Week 1 are carried over to Week 2, but one move is added to each bodypart routine—with the exception of abs—so you can train all muscle groups more completely from multiple angles.

Chest, for example, includes two exercises: One is a compound movement dumbbell bench press that involves multiple joints both the shoulder and elbow to work the largest amount of muscle possible, and the other is an isolation exercise dumbbell flye that involves only one joint shoulder and targets the pecs to a greater extent.

Fifteen reps may be just outside the ideal muscle-building range, but these sets will help you increase muscular endurance to provide a solid foundation on which to build size and strength going forward. One new exercise is added to each bodypart routine to provide even more angles from which to train your target muscles to promote complete development.

The result is 16 total sets for the week for large bodyparts and 12 sets total for smaller ones—again, working in the 8—rep range—which is a substantial increase in volume from Week 1.

Four-day splits are common among experienced lifters because they involve training fewer bodyparts typically 2—3 per workout, which gives each muscle group ample attention and allows you to train with higher volume. No new exercises are introduced in Week 4 so that you can focus on intensity in your workouts instead of learning new movements.

Rep schemes remain in the hypertrophy range this week, but overall volume increases by adding more sets to individual exercises: up to five sets per move for larger bodyparts, and even 10 sets of calf raises on Thursday.

Completion of this four-week program now entitles you to go to the next stage.
