Free Workout Routines

Project Swole offers plenty of free workout routines and more will come with time. Everyone has a variety of goals when it comes to exercise, which means there are many types of athletes:

  • weightlifters
  • powerlifters
  • Olympic lifters
  • strongmen
  • bodybuilders
  • sports-specific

Our most popular workout routine to date has been Werewolf Training to Gain Muscle.

Athletes have varying levels of experience:

  • professional athletes
  • experienced recreational athletes
  • intermediate trainers
  • weekend warriors
  • inexperienced beginners
  • noobs (newbies)

Beginners would do well to follow a Generic Full Body Workout Routine.

Athletes also use a wide variety of equipment and tools:

  • free weights
  • machines
  • cables
  • Bowflex
  • that Total Body Workout Chuck Norris gadget
  • springs, bands, and chains
  • household items
  • bodyweight
  • odd objects: kegs, anchors, tires, and trucks
  • kettlebells
  • The Titan!

Project Swole workout routines use a variety of equipment, but we mostly focus on free weights and odd objects.

We also have to remember that being Swole is not all about strength training. Everyone should train with conditioning routines periodically, if not regularly. Conditioning is especially important for these endurance athletes:

  • runners and sprinters
  • cyclists
  • gymnasts
  • martial artists
  • MMA fighters
  • swimmers
  • triathletes
  • and so on…

Project Swole aims to provide workout routines for everyone, although I personally have little experience with endurance sports like marathons and long distance cycling.

Use High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and High Intensity Resistance Training (HIRT) to increase your conditioning.

The Difference Between Men and Women

Simply stated, there is no difference between men and women.

The biggest difference between the sexes is their willingness to participate in any given type of exercise. Typically men like to heave big weights and women prefer to tone up, usually targeting cardiovascular exercise over weight training. My question is this: why not utilize the best of both worlds?

A generic female workout routine should consist primarily of intense cardiovascular exercise interspersed with some free weight activity to build and shape the muscles. Reps should range from a high of 20 to a low of 5, but should mostly stay between 8-15. For the female that wants to increase strength or muscle size, we just drop the reps slightly and increase the proportion of weight training to cardio.

A generic male workout routine should probably consist primarily of intense free weight training with some cardiovascular activity on off days. I would prefer to see the rep range fall somewhere between 3-10 reps on average. For the male that wants to increase conditioning rather than muscle size or strength, the recipe calls for less rest between sets and several exercises strung together to make a complex.
