Training Tip: Keep it simple

There are 1001 ways to create an exercise programme but there is one constant that should be included every bodybuilding programme; basic compound exercises-

Squat,
Deadlift
Chest Press (either barbell or dumbbell).
Chin-up
Dip (this could also be supplemented with an overhead press)

I personally prefer a Flat Dumbbell press over a Barbell press as it allows you a greater range of motion which means more growth stimulus. It is also generally safer for shoulder health, especially if you have a history of rotator cuff problems.

Focus on getting stronger in these basic exercises and you will grow. If you have been stuck doing the same weight for more than a month on these exercises then you are doing something wrong.
