    Just because their easier to perform doesn’t make them for begginers. When you start working out you need a serious boost of testosterone so you shoud use compound excercises on free weights, such as deathlift, squat, bench press. Machines won’t give you that.

  2. dxvanedf2 says:

    Nope. You’re the one who’s confused ma’am. Machines are less intimidating because they’re only designed to do one exercise. Beginners are confused about which exercise to do when they see free weights. they’re also easier to use because they’re on a fixed path.

  3. RaNdOsMaShEr says:

    sorry but you are so wrong.

  4. dxvanedf2 says:

    Beginner sshould be doing basic easy exercises with machines not free weights brother

    What’s wrong with going to the max? A lot of these videos say 10-15 reps but I have been going until I can’t possibly do another rep… is there anything wrong with doing that?

  6. RaNdOsMaShEr says:

    this is not a excercise for the begginers. newbies should focus on free weights, not isolation machines

    I have always revolved reps week to week, to keep the body confused and attack different types of muscle fiber. I varied reps from 3-4 one week, 6-8, and finally 10-12.

    3-4 reps week was 90% of max lift
    6-8 was 80% of max lift
    and 10 -12 was 70% of max lift

    This seemed to keep the body growing, but form is a must, or you will injure yourself. Rest is a must also, you have to get enough sleep to heal.

    Eventually you need to mix things up or you will plateau quit gaining.

    great advice.

    what happens if your wrist is too low? or your knuckles is facing upwards?

    is it bad for your tendons?

  14. ryderage says:

    your hands were wrongly positioned with your wrists too low and your knuckles facing upwards instead of forwards. Terrible demo.

    G’day Undertaker
    I think the best advice you can get would be that of a professional.
    Enrol yourself in a quality gym, or enlist the help of a personal trainer, they will get you to your goals much faster then trying to do it yourself.
    Not disreguarding the information that you have been given, but there is a remarkable amount of information on the Internet, not all of it entirely relevant to research being done today. Its probably better to be professional.

  16. UNDERTAKERTHEPHENOM says:

    THAnks for all the tips man. Just one more question . is 9lbs (becuase i can hardly do 12 reps) dumbbell is enough for me to lift? and how many sets should i do with various exercises. Again thank you for all ur help.

  17. fmxrider999 says:

    undertakethephenom 1.stop drinking soft drinks,its hard but after a few months cravings go away 2dont workout your wrists,you really cant,if you mean your forearms theyll get bigger just from lifting weight 3. eat 3 times a day at the least,eat carbs vegetables and protein,you need the same number of grams of protein everyday as you weigh,so you weigh 140 lbs,try to eat 140 grams of protein a day,oh and buy this shake called xtreme protein,natural meal replacer,take once a day,good for beginning

    well im a skinny guy who just started lifting weights about a month ago. my friend said not to do more than 10 reps and i usually do 4 to 8. inthe past two weeks ive added 20 lbs to my bench press 15 on curls and gained 5 lbs. so it does do something

  19. MotorCycle129 says:

    Load of crap about overhead lifts affecting height. Anyone who relies on YT vids for training advice is just taking the piss.
