When you’re just starting off, the best thing to do is to lift heavy for low reps. This will give you a solid foundation of strength. When you’re just starting out, you lack the foundation of muscle necessary to make a split effective. If you’re a newbie, this obviously isn’t the case. Splits are only good if you’ve been working out for several years and already have a solid base of strength that you’re trying to build upon. Well, when you’re first starting out, doing a split is actually the WORST thing that you could possibly do, because you don’t have a solid foundation of strength yet. So, not knowing any better, most beginners do a “split,” and work out 4-5 days a week focusing in on specific body parts for a high amount of repetitions. Most so called gurus out there, say that the best workout routine for beginners is some sort of a split, like PHAT or PHUL. In my nearly 10 years of fitness experience, the best workout routine for beginners is Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength, due to its sheer simplicity, effectiveness, and time-efficiency. Most people will tell you to do a split, but in my experience most people also don’t know what they’re talking about. I was in the same boat about a decade ago, and I wasted years following stupid workout routines that don’t work. There’s literally a million different “gurus” saying that you should do this, or that you should do that. I know how frustrating it can be, searching around, trying to figure out where to start. Starting Strength can be one of the best workout routines for beginners, so if that’s what you want, then look no further.
