Default New Troop Training

jagsfan05 congrats on embarking on a great hobby and lifestyle.
Dont get too caught up on training the small muscles like biceps and such.
Your goal is to train the larger muscles as hard as you can, back off rest and grow.

I personaly never train more than two days in a row. I have been at it for 20 years plus and have always noticed if I try for a third day I feel like a car in bad need of an oil change.

I would also think in terms of groups like

Day One Chest
I would do maybe a couple sets of flat and incline presses
then a little abs

Day Two Legs
Your goal is either squat or leg presses heavy for two sets then a rep set
finish off with a few sets of leg curls and calf raises

Day Three Off
Do something else and Im talking away from the gym

Day Four Off
Same

Day Five Back
Your goal is some heavy rows or deadlifts
then finish off some pullups or front pulldowns

Day Six Shoulders
Hit the military press and shrugs

Day Seven Off

Day Eight Arms
Your goal is some dips or overhead extensions
then some good ole ez bar curls and finish off with seated dumbell curls

Day Nine and Ten Off

start cycle over
Throw the calandar out the door think of training as bodu cyles not weeks or such. Listen to your body not someone elses. Your body will tell you if a movement is just not your cup of tea.

Keep it simple is your goal. Never do more than 6 sets a body part and
DO NOT train to failure on warm up sets.
Good Luck
