Respect the workout plan levels!

I started to use the advanced level workout plan on Scoobys' site because I wanted to jump into hard intense workouts. Well, there is more than just one reason Scooby has the three levels there I have found out.

I noticed there was something I was missing while trying to focus on individual muscle groups so early. I was missing proportioned muscles and stabilization. While trying to do one exercise for a certain muscle, I end up working out a separate muscle because of underdevelopment in one or the other.

I found that the beginner to intermediate is more for me, besides it even gives me more time for cardio, which I need to focus more on. I'll just have to be a little patient and start out where I belong. The muscle development was too much of a focus for me but now I realize I need patience.

Thanks Scoob! I will now be a good little gnome and start at the beginning.

Tim I just gave you karma for 1) common sense; 2) admitting you were wrong; and 3) being a great example!

This thread is outdated by 2+ years.

To answer your question, 10 push ups and 5 pull ups means you're a beginner. What type of equipment do you have access to? Free weights, barbell, Squat rack?

Well if you reach scoobies requirement get straight into the adv/inter workout, make sure you have a good amount of weight plates with your dumbells. When i started i only had a 20kg set and it wasnt enough for dumbell press, also when doing flys you would have to go from doing 7kg in each hand straight to 10kg because i didnt have enough weight plates. Make sure you got a wide selection of the smaller plates like 1.25kg 1kg's ect

Yeah I would like to ask what are the requirements to be able to do a intermediate workout?
Because I have lifted weights like 3-4 years ago, stopped-however did some kettlebell training at home sometimes and have kept most my strength and conditioning.
