This page has a selection of weight training workouts to target individual body parts. Some of the workouts can be completed in the gym, others can be performed in the home with little or no equipment.
The gym workouts will require a full array of gym equipment, including free weights and resistance machines.
If you’re serious about weight training, building muscle mass and increasing your strength you really should consider joining a gym with access to all the basic equipment, and with weights heavy enough to simulate those muscles.
You don’t necessarily need access to a gym to make gains in muscle and strength. However your improvements and gains may take longer and they will be less substantial with using only a limited selection of equipment or only using body weight exercises.
The below workouts are designed to work specific body parts resulting in muscle and strength improvements. These workouts are ideal if you’re looking to improve and build up a specific area of your body.
It’s more common to train multiple muscles in a single workout (split workouts), however if you’re a more advanced lifter or if you really want to develop a particular muscle group these workouts are ideal. If you prefer to train multiply muscle groups in your workouts you can simple combine the below workouts.
Take time to warm up properly before attempting any workout.
