Working out is a must if you want to build up nice big muscles.  Sometimes when starting out, it can be confusing about what to do.  Believe me, I’ve been there.  There are so many workouts and ways to work out, it can get pretty intimidating if you aren’t sure what you need to do.

First thing you need to learn is to work your muscles right.  If you don’t split your time right, you’ll overwork muscles, and well, that wouldn’t be good.  For instance,  Chest, triceps, and shoulder exercises all use triceps (pretty much all chest and shoulder exercises also work out triceps muscles secondary).   So don’t work those out back to back to back days.  Instead, work them all out the same day so that it isn’t triceps overload.  Also, you can work back and bicep muscles out on the same day.  Doing this will make it OK to work secondary muscles that day because you are already working them.

Another bit of advice is to not work out everyday.  You could pretty much only workout every other day on only week days, and get plenty of rest and exercise while not straining any muscles.  You also get the weekend off.

This advice is in no way mandatory or necessary, but it can help a lot – especially to beginners.
