Re: Weightlifting Advice

You have gotten some good advice already. The circuit is fine for the very beginning. If you are all ectomorphs(skinning, high metabolism, hard to gain muscle) you should switch quickly to an exercise regime built around heavy compound movements. You can cover your full body into 3 workouts. Squats are mandatory. Deadlifts are good and so are barbell benches. Just learn perfect form. This trainer should be teaching you this and experiment with exercises to figure out what works for you. Just base your work outs around very heavy and proper compound movements and you will be fine. Forget isolation exercises and for the most part cardio. Do not worry about getting cut. You want muscle mass.

Ding!
I'd add that these three are the only exercises you need right now. The only place we'll probably differ is that I'd recommend a workout consisting of all three of these three times a week rather than a split.
