Bar Bell workout for beginners

HealthyNowForever

I really want to do Les Mills Combat, but the $165 price tag is steering me away. The main reason the price bothers me so much is I already have the equipment, I just don't know how to properly use it. Is their a fundamentals DVD out there or a beginner workout that somebody could suggest? Websites or apps could be useful too. Thanks in advance.

Bodybuilding.com or muscleandstrength.com are a good place to start, and they both have videos to demonstrate exercises, I believe. (I know muscleandstrength.com does.) Check out New Rules of LIfting for Women or Stronglifts or Madcow's 5x5. Generally speaking, get form down on the big basic lifts like bench, dead lift, squat, military press and bent over rows. Do those at a weight that fatigues your muscle in 8-10 reps for 2-3 sets. That's a good place to start to really get a feel for form and the lifts.

A program like Starting Strength will let you start off with lighter weights so you can focus on form and technique early on. Pair that with Mark Rippetoe's youtube videos form and you should be off to a good start.

Another option is to do 1 or 2 sessions with a personal trainer who knows the big lifts to help you with form, but obviously there's a cost associated with that.

I use bodybuilding.com, it's a good resource to utilize.
