  4. The FAQs seem to mostly aimed at specialized techniques
    and advanced lifters.

    A new program should emphasis "basic conditioning" for the
    first six to twelve months and not worry that much about
    body building, stength, supplments. Basic conditioning gets
    the muscles and joints used to lifting and builds up the blood
    supply and nerves. Its most important to learn the proper form
    of each exercise at this stage. Incorrect form can strain joints
    and cause injury with heavy weights.

    That aside, choose about a half dozen different exercises for arms,
    legs and torso, maybe adding a new one every week or two.
    Do 3-4 sets of 10-15 repetitions. The first one go light some weight
    to warm up. You should start feeling tired on the last one.
    Order aqnd frequency is what works for you. Some people like to
    every thrid day while others work a part of there body or rotating
    days.
    Some like to do all the sets together, while others alternate around
    the
    body.
