Beginner Workout Routine For Building Muscle Fast
So your goal is to build muscle? Often when people first start out with a workout routine they often take the wrong routine and end up following the wrong advice which leads to no gains and eventually you will just give up.
There are many different routines to choose from and many different websites and magazines offering all sorts of advice and i understand the confusion in choosing the right workout routine.
My first workout routine was found in a muscle building magazine. It was a 6 day split which had lots of volume advertised by people with massive muscles. I assumed that this would be the routine i should follow if i wanted to get big. I was wrong and ached for a week after the first workout which totally put me off training.
Building a solid foundation is an important part in muscle growth and it will prepare your body for more complex weight lifting workouts. 
You can build a strong foundation by completing basic compound exercises into your weight training workouts. This workout can be done either at a gym or as a home workout.
This beginner workout routine consists of 15 exercises using basic movements, a pyramid rep/set scheme, change in exercise order, training three times per week and followed for three months.

Workout Principles
Month 1: Perform 1-2 sets of 15-20 reps increasing the weight each set. Start each workout a little heavier than last workout. Rest for 30-60 seconds max between sets.
Month 2: Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps increasing the weight each set. Start each workout a little heavier than last workout. Rest for 60 seconds between each set.
Month 3: Perform 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps increasing the weight each set. Start each workout a little heavier than last workout. Rest 60-90 seconds between each set.
You dont have to do your beginner workout routine on the days above, however it is important that you have 1 days rest inbetween your workouts in order to recover. Muscle growth comes from rest and your body needs rest in order to grow.
At the end of month 3 you will have laid the foundation of a strong, shapely physique and your mental and physical state should be improving dramatically. At this point in the game it's time to consider a new program and bigger-picture goals.
