Men's Beginner Workout Plan
As I've added a lot of muscle mass, I've had many friends ask for help as they start their workout routines. This is my go-to beginner workout for both men and women, since it's so easy to use. Great beginner workout plan.
Source Naturals ArcticPure Ultra Potency Omega-3 Fish Oil, 120 Softgels
I've had this recommended to me by friends, and after doing some cursory checking I've found ArcticPure to have the most Omega-3's for the price. Can't complain about that!
Seated Military Press
Eh, why not?
One-Arm Standing Cable Row
I like that the dumbbells don't hit my legs with the cable machine.
Wide-Grip Pull-Up
That wide grip is an extra tough one, but man has it given me a good V taper.
Clap Push-Up
Hard to keep clapping once you get into it a ways, always a real challenge. I like the explosiveness of the exercise.
Preacher Curl
Can't beat the isolation you get from a preacher curl.
Alternating Dumbbell Curl
A classic exercise. Bread and butter for biceps.
Close-Grip Lat Pulldown
Good stuff. Really gets the mid chest and back. sarratus muscles included.
Military Press
It's a bread and butter shoulder workout. If all you did was military press, you'd still have darn strong shoulders.

Carl L. Back injuries are the worst. Don't push it too much man
AaronV Yeah, tell me about it. I pushed it too hard back in March and re-injured myself. I'm backing WAY off the weight now and don't plan on doing normal deadlifting or squatting for at least a few months.
