Free Customized Workout Plans

"Create Your Own Custom Workout Routines."

I developed the free customized workout plans over the past few years of
weight training.  It took me a while to figure out that volume type training (lots of workouts and sets) does not work very well for me.

I do not recover very well from workouts that take long to complete or with little rest between workout days.

That's why I started customizing my own workouts.

I didn't do this right away.  When I first started training I used to follow whatever the latest workout plan was in a muscle magazine.

Big mistake!  These magazines did contain free customized workout plans, however the workouts were customized from professional bodybuilders.

You know the magazines I'm talking about; the ones with the huge bodybuilders on the front cover.

You see the problem with using pro bodybuilder workouts is that most of us do not have the genetics (or steroids) to be successful using those workout routines.

Unknown to me at the time, I went ahead and tried those free customized workout plans and ended up skinny, undernourished, over trained and not gaining any muscle.

I was tired all the time also, because my body just couldn't recover properly from the volume workouts.

After getting frustrated about the little progress I was having, I decided to take matters into my own hands and figure out... what works for me!

I played with different combinations of workouts, rest days, length of workouts, amount of food I needed to eat to grow, and so on.

I finally developed a few free customized workout plans that I knew would work for me and show me results as long as I worked out consistently and aimed to progress with the amount of weight I was using each workout.

After 6 months I was so excited about my progression that I decided to talk a few friends into trying my custom workout routines.

Here's the kicker... the free customized workout routines that I developed for myself didn't work for everyone else!

What??

Yep.

And the reason for that is because everyone else is different and has their own needs.

I think that is why we all need to learn the basics of working out and tweak our own work out programs until we find what works for us.

With that said, we all have to start somewhere.

So if you have been beating your head against the wall with your workout routines and seeing little to know progress, I encourage you to find out what works specifically for YOU.

I have used the following free customized workout programs over the years and have found my own success with them.

I'm not saying these exercise routines will necessarily work for you; instead, I'm hoping you will see that it is not that difficult to customize your own workout plan once you understand the basics of weight training.

Now before I list my training program, please note the importance of diet and rest.

If you are not eating to look like a bodybuilder, or even to get into shape, you simply won't.  I'm not focusing on those aspects of training on this site so please visit our parent site building muscle now for all other weight training information.

Another big factor in determining whether you are successful with your training is whether or not you use a fitness log to track your progress.  You can download a free printable workout log here.  Fill it out and take it to the gym with you (or where ever you choose to workout) and fill it out EVERY workout.  This will help you stay on track with your progress.

Each workout, try to lift just a little bit more than you did last time you worked out.

So if your fitness log says you did bench press a week ago and used 150 lbs for your workout sets, try using 155 lbs this time (with proper form of course).

Progression is the key to muscle growth.
