I was scrolling through my phone the other day, looking for some workout inspiration, when I stumbled upon this gem - a weight lifting schedule printable! Now, I know what you’re thinking - “Who needs a schedule? I just show up and lift heavy things!” But trust me, my friend, a little planning can go a long way towards achieving those gains. So without further ado, let’s take a look at these five amazing images: Image #1 - Bench Press Pyramid Workout Chart First up we have a delightful little chart for the bench press pyramid workout. It’s got everything you need to know - sets, reps, weight - all organized in a neat little pyramid. And the best part? The top of the pyramid is labeled “Goal Weight”. So not only do you have a plan for your current workout, but you also have a goal to strive towards. Brilliant! Image #2 - Dumbbell Exercise Chart Next we have a colorful and comprehensive dumbbell exercise chart. It’s got all the classics - bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses - plus some fun variations like the “Arnold press”. And with the handy little illustrations, even a gym newbie can figure out how to properly execute each move. Image #3 - StrongLifts 5x5 Workout Ah, the StrongLifts 5x5 Workout. A classic amongst weight lifters. And with good reason - it’s simple, effective, and can be done with just a barbell, bench, and squat rack. This chart lays out the entire program, including progression and rest days. It may seem daunting at first, but trust me - once you start seeing those numbers go up, it’s addicting! Image #4 - Yoga Poses for Weightlifting Now, I know what you’re thinking - “Yoga? But I thought this was about weightlifting!” Hear me out, though. Yoga can be an amazing way to increase mobility and flexibility, which can in turn help you with your weightlifting. This chart breaks down some great poses to incorporate into your routine, like the pigeon pose (great for tight hips) and the downward dog (a full-body stretch). Image #5 - Kettlebell Workout Chart for Women Last but not least, we have a kettlebell workout chart designed specifically for women. It includes both strength moves (like the goblet squat) and cardio moves (like the kettlebell swing), for a well-rounded workout. Plus, working with kettlebells can help improve grip strength and coordination. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that satisfying “clang” when you put the kettlebell down after a set? And there you have it, folks - five amazing resources for taking your weightlifting game to the next level. So next time you hit the gym, give one of these workouts a try. Who knows, you may just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. Happy lifting!
