Weight Lifting Routines: Solo Workout Routines

This nextweight lifting routinespost will reveal great workout routines that were designed when a spotter isn’t there. Of course, the best way to get results is to have a spotter because they allow you to go past your abilities, working your muscles harder. For example, instead of doing a set of 8 reps by yourself, with a spotter you can do a set of 10 reps because they can assist you with those 2 extra reps without any danger.



The biggest problem with a spotter/workout partner is the availability. It’s hard to find that person to consistently workout with you day in, day out. People’s schedules are different and even if you can find somebody who has a similar schedule as you, they still will have things come up every once in a while preventing them from being a consistent partner. It’s the way of life, everybody is busy.



Fortunately for you, I’ve been able to develop some great free weightlifting routines that can be performed without a spotter. These weight lifting routines are safe so there is no need to worry, however if you can find a spotter, it will only make these routines more effective.



Over the next few posts, I’ll reveal a separate workout routine for each body part. I’ll start of with the shoulders as it’s a one of the more difficult muscles to train effectively without a spotter.

The two main exercises in these weight lifting routines that would usually require weightlifters to use a spotter are the two shoulder presses. However, these free weightlifting routines do a good job of utilizing the power lifting stations found in almost every gym so that a spotter isn’t a must.

Obviously, the Smithe machine was designed as a safe machine that assisted like a spotter. The negative with it is that it assists you the entire motion of whatever exercise you perform so it takes away gravity and other factors that are usually important in building the stabilizer muscles. However, it’s still a great station to use and it’s completely safe.



For the more advanced weightlifters, I would recommend the power rack. The most common exercise you perform at this station is the squat but it is safe to perform other exercises. Here’s how you should set it up. Place the rack, (where you place the bar before the lift), inside the station at a spot where it feels the most comfortable for you. Then place the spotter bars no lower than your chest. So when you do run out of gas, you can drop the bar safely in front of you.

The other exercises within these weight lifting routines are safe enough do to without a spotter. Of course, to get the best results from your workout routines, a spotter will always be the best option.



I’ve already revealed all of these exercises in earlier weight lifting routines posts but if you need a refresher on what these exercises are or how to perform them, then visit the link at the end of this paragraph. Just navigate to the appropriate muscle group and look for the exercise. I haven’t introduced the power rack in any workout routines so far so it’s important to know what you are doing.GO HERE
