Training schedule and Bodybuilding
Entering a training program should necessarily be preceded by a complete set of medical tests, tests that should be repeated periodically over the training period. The training has to begin with a preparation stage, designed to prepare the body for a sustained muscular effort. The preparation is not to include weight lifting exercises but should consist only of tractions, push-ups, genuflexions and other exercise specific for invigoration gymnastics. The preparation period lasts between two weeks and a month according to gender, age and fitness of the bodybuilder. Once this stage is completed, the second part of the training could begin. During the second stage the trainee takes up weight lifting exercises in order to get used to the correct execution of the exercises, as well as to establish the right amount of weight he/she particularly should work with. It is recommended that this part of the training consist of three sessions a week, aproximately one hour each. Three different types of exercise, out of which one is to be basic, are to be executed for each group of muscles. In case you do not aim pronounced muscular development but an improved muscular tonus or fitness, the training schedule of the second stage could be continued for years.
