Whatever you do, center your routine around upper body pulling movement (perhaps a horizontal and vertical pull at the same time or alternate in cycles), upper body pushing movement (perhaps a horizontal + vertical push at the same time or alternate in cycles) and a lowerbody movement (squat or deadlift). Get strong with these moves. Anything else is auxiliary. -

They give good advice, emphasise safety and have nothing to do with steroids.Comment

If he's a beginner, do you really think he know what "center your routine around upper body pulling movement (perhaps a horizontal and vertical pull at the same time or alternate in cycles), upper body pushing movement (perhaps a horizontal + vertical push at the same time or alternate in cycles) and a lowerbody movement (squat or deadlift). " means?
I'll explain. Upper body pulling would be when you pull the weight to your body such as a pullup, bent-over row, or upright row. A push is where you push the body away, such as bench press or push press. He explained lowerbody pretty well.
Good Luck!Comment

when u start lifting, dont worry about the ammount of weight. start light and work up. whats really important is correct form. check out certain excersises and lifts online or get help from a trainer if ur lifting at a gym and learn to do them properly. u should always be able to be in full control of the weight during the movement, performing the rep with perfect form. do them nice and slow and start adding weight as u get stronger.
some lifts u can do with weights are
dumbell curls
barbell curls
hammer curls
upright row
bent over row
bench press
dumbell press
shoulder press
shoulder raises
tricep extension
lunges with weights
shrugs
workout at least 3 times a weekComment
