body for life workout method

[woodwood]

Is anyone familiar with the body for life workout regimine? I started lifting two months ago and asked a body builder friend for a workout regimine. He referred me to the body for life website and I started using their workout regemine. It goes as follows:

Day 1: Upper Body. Pick one exercise for this day for each body part. chest(benchpress) reps 12,10,8,6,12,12. Bi's same thing etc... until you have worked every muscle group in the upper body

Day 2: Cardio

Day 3: legs and abs, following same regimine as above

Day 4: Cardio

Day 5: Upper body Different exercises than day 1, such as incline for chest etc..

Day 6: Legs

Day 7: Rest.

Day 6

Any feedback would be much appreicated!

If youve never worked out before or are just getting back into it, then BFL can certainly be a good place to start.

You came to a forum for which there are stickies containing what many call the best workout for anyone at ANY level. Seeing as how you just started 2 months ago, it can't be boredom that has you perusing other lifting programs.

I won't comment on BFL or any program for that matter. As it's not the program, but the principles it employs which makes or breaks your success. Most want a laid out program of sets, reps, and exercises, which anyone can do. But how do you know if they are following the correct principles?

What you need are the principles to devise your own program. But being a beginner as you are, that may not be possible. Therefore, the 5x5 listed in the stickies lays out the sets, reps, and exercises, while employing the proper lifting principles. You get the best of both worlds.
