It's a scary and confusing thing, the first time you walk into a gym. You see a lot of people doing a lot of different things and you can feel really intimidated or embarrassed every time a huge guy walks past you. And a big mistake for beginners is overtraining. You see buff guys doing all those different exercises and decide that you have to do them all too to look like him. Being new has its advantage if you take hold of it right away. If you eat properly and get a good training routine figured out it will be only a matter of time till you are one of the huge, strong guys in the gym. The first year you lift is when you will see the most results, so figuring everything out soon will give you a lot of time to start packing on the mass. And a huge mistake i see beginners making is trying to lift too much weight. they see someone throwing around huge amounts of weight and figure they need to also. First of all, that can be really dangerous, and second you will be cheating yourself of the gains you want.

One of the first things you will want to do is figure out your training split. i would recommend training 4-5 times a week when you are a beginner. A good split would be:

• Day 1,chest and tris.
• Day 3, Back and Bis.
• Day 5. shoulders and legs.
