Compound lifts?

I have been on Stronglifts for 12 weeks and have seen great strength gains. Start low and work your way up. I have seen linear progression in every lift and have set many personal bests. Eating at a caloric deficit and lifting heavy compounds has allowed me to cut fat and get stronger.

Most people will do a mixture of the two, but the focus should mainly be on compound exercises.

My advice would be to first decide wether you're going to do a full body routine or a split routine.

Then do some research, set yourself a routine, include all the really important exercises (bench press, rows,shoulder press, leg press, flys etc.), and most importantly once you've sorted out what you're going to be doing, keep good form. Dont rush into piling the weight on, people are much more likely to be looking at you like you're crazy if you're not doing the movement properly than if you're doing them correctly with a low weight and also dont over train.

Theres loads of information on the internet. Just google stuff like 'chest workout' 'back workout' 'legs workout' 'shoulders workout' or 'split routine' 'full body routine'
