Functional Weight Training Workout
Kim Strother demonstrates her functional weight training exercises using a cable machine... Normal 0 Beginning bodybuilders often train in a haphazard fashion in the gym. They walk into the gym, hop on the nearest free machine or bench, and then bounce around the gym, hitting random body parts on random machines, with no rhyme or reason.
Intermediate bodybuilders are a bit wiser. They find a routine and stick with it. They know to start with the same two or three essential compound movements each time, then to move on to isolation movements. They know what exercises they will do, but they do vary the rep/set scheme to ensure some variety.
Once you’ve been training for 3-4 years, you begin to get a feel for what works and what doesn’t. More advanced bodybuilders often utilize a technique known as ‘instinctive training’. They enter the gym knowing what body part they will be training. They start on the treadmill for a few minutes of warm up. If they’re feeling strong, they might select a heavy compound movement for low reps, heavy weight. If the mind-muscle connection isn’t quite there yet, they may start with some isolation movements to get the blood pumping into the area, and make it a medium-weight, higher-rep range day.
If you are new to bodybuilding, find a routine that works, and stick with it. Train for 1-2 years using this routine and build up a solid foundation of muscle. As you make progress and learn how certain movements and rep/set ranges affect your body, take notes and detail your progress. As time passes, you’ll find yourself in situations where a certain bench won’t be open, or you’ll feel stronger or weaker than usual. At times like that, alter your training to take advantage of this opportunity. Record your results. After a year or so of slight alterations, your workout will slowly evolve into one where you train instinctively each time – and you get better results because you know your body so well.
