Strength training is about getting stronger gradually through progressive overload, sound movement basics and enough recovery. This category is for beginners, and for anyone returning after time away, who wants a clear starting point rather than an overwhelming programme. It is small for now, with two guides.
Where to start
- What is the best strength training plan for beginners? A simple structure to follow when you are starting from scratch.
- How do you start working out again after a long break? Read this if you used to train and need a sensible way back in.
If you would rather train without a gym, the home workouts guide shows what is possible with little or no equipment.
