Resistance Training Tutorials for Beginners

TheresaLisaJulieJean

Hello,

I could just go fool around with different machines but I don't want to waste my time. When searching online there is a TON of information...it's hard to sort it all out.

What tutorials did you find helpful and would recommend to someone who is just starting out? Key factors I am looking for:

-teaches correct form
-intended for gym, not home
-full body regimen
-60 minutes or less

I like Allan Thrall for barbell lifting form. I also like Brett Contreras. They both have many tutorials on YouTube.

Compound movements , save time and are great for core functional /strength .

its good you are choosing a full body regimen because If you are starting out - doing isolation's ( machines) / split routines will not really help you much , its hard to keep up the schedule if you skip / or forget the day's split.

Go hard with minimal rest for 30 minutes and done. strength / resistance training is not endurance training to
stretch it out for hours and is pretty counterproductive at longer hours unless you are a bodybuilder.

I am sure you can find the one you like and stick to it.

Fantastic resource:

I haven't read this yet, but it's recommended a lot:

My favorite books are:

Body by Science by Doug McGuff, for exercise selection, though I don't agree with superslow being enough lifting volume:

and Starting Strength, by Mark Rippetoe:

I second Alan Thrall (Train Untamed), Johnny Candito for compound and powerlifting movements as well. They are all on Youtube.

Theres a YouTube channel called Athlean X I think which is strength focused but also primarily directed towards form, fixing issues with form and theres a lot of good drills on there. Similarly Strength Camp was decent; the dude got a bit annoying and preachy after a while but used to be pretty motivational and has some good form stuff there too.

Ultimately there is still a heap of info out there; there are 1000's of programs as well which most work... Most people who do strength training will do a split; starting out you can do full body but you will find that you wont have enough time or want to start doing more.
