So, yeah. I whipped up this Strength Training Tracker to use, starting today. Why? Because I need to make sure I’m hitting all major muscles groups at least 2-3 times per week to strengthen and make sexy(er) my body.

For example, it’s no good working the triceps one-time per week and expecting awesome results. Who wants bat wings, right? It’s also no good to be diligent with quad training (front of the thigh), yet barely work the opposing muscle group (the hamstrings – back of the thighs).
Do you have any major muscle groups that you’re NOT training for strength and sexiness on a regular basis?
Remember: Train each area 2-3 times per week (basic/beginners) or a bit more if you’re advanced, but do NOT over-train. Not ever! You could injure yourself and start whining ‘n stuff. You shouldn’t be training the same muscles on consecutive days in a row, or training the same muscle groups too many times per week.
And just a quick work to all the excess-cardio-lovin’ peeps: You have to strength train for a complete body transformation. Cardio will help you lose weight, but your body will mostly stay soft (maybe even saggy for some people) and undefined without putting strength training into the mix.
Transforming your body requires a purposeful, diligent, systematic plan. Being wishy-washy, sometimey, or half-assed with your strength training will not get you there. Work up to your potential. Get crackin’ on the strength.
