just starting lifting and need advices :)

So I just started lifting weights last week. I go to the gym 6 days a week and intend to do weights 2 or 3 of those days.

I've been looking around online for advices and here's what I've been doing for the past week, on days where I lift.
- I start with 15 minutes of cardio just to warm up a bit. (usually elliptical)
- I picked 7 exercises, each targeting a different body part : chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, quadriceps, hamstrings and abs
- I do 3 sets of 10-12 reps for each.

So far it's going good. It starts getting really tough by the the 8th or 9th rep but I manage to finish.

Does it look good for a beginner?

By the way, I'm doing weights mainly for fat loss.

Thanks for any remark or advice you may have!

Sounds good to me.

I just got done doing a program my trainer wrote up for me.. and most of the ones he has me do are between 2-3 sets, and reps between 10-20.

I recommend finding a new trainer. Just because he/she has their "certificate" doesn't make them good.

I recommend you shut it.

My trainer has been in the business for 5 years and has 3 to 4 certifications, and is teaching me proper forms on squats, dead lifts, clean and press, rows and bench press.

Just because you think one program is good, does not mean it fits all people or their goals.

LOL, it's not any particular program that I think is good or even the best because there is no such thing. There are methods that are more effective than others but every method has a weakness.

Part of the training system I prefer includes doing some exercises at sets of 3 to 4 for 8 - 12 reps but doing everything for sets of 10 - 20 is a waste my friend. I suggest you read-up and get some information for your own. Most trainers are crap regardless of how many certifications they have. Educate yourself and then come back and talk.

So if nothing is best then why are we even arguing? You do you, I'll do me and we'll leave at that.

If you read, I said most.. not everything. It's reps of 10-20, not sets of 10-20 you jack *kitten*.

If I wanted to gain muscle, I'd be doing a program like the one you are suggesting to OP.. but right now, I don't. I lift heavy, I do olympic/power lifts and I'm happy. My trainer is a good one, and hasn't steered me wrong yet.. so why fix what's not broken?

Go take your I-know-everything attitude and go bother someone else who actually gives a flying ****.

So what's your programming look like on olympic / power lifts?

I only commented on your trainer, not you and you got all ****ty. Sorry I happen to know something about strength training and you obviously don't and rely on a moron to teach you. Enjoy wasting your money and time.

and your certifications are what(besides being a jack *kitten* that is?)

I have nothing to prove to you.. what I'm doing is working, I'm seeing results and in the end isn't that all that matters?

and yes, I am a ***** because I hate when people come outta no where and tell me what to do, when they have no idea what the circumstances are or what they hell they are even talking about.

How am I being a *kitten*? This thread was started by somebody looking for advice and you posted some advice. Aren't you a *kitten* too for coming out of nowhere and giving advice.
