Reg Park Beginner Routine Workout


The days of simple routines filled with heavy compound exercises seems like a hundred years ago. The modern bodybuilding “split” program rules the current training realm. But don’t let that stop you from going old school.

Old school programs work, and they work for a reason. Check out any bodybuilding forum, and you will find it filled with a thousand routine variations, all searching for the holy grail of building muscle mass.

Forget the complex, and come back to the basics. The basics worked a long time before the modern steroid era, and they continue to work today.

      Hi Mike,

      You can make very good progress without gaining much excess fat. The keys are:

      1) Progression of weight. Working hard so you are adding muscle.
      2) Proper eating plan.

      I recommend heading over to the forum and posting your question. That way we can provide a more detailed answer.
