Experienced sales and development manager Joe Arrigo has worked in several industries, including staffing, renewable energy, and floriculture. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Joe Arrigo follows a fitness regimen that includes weightlifting four days a week.

The most effective weight training routines incorporate exercises that strengthen every major muscle group. This ensures that muscle is built up evenly on the body, which is more aesthetically pleasing. Some weightlifters rotate their workouts to focus on specific groups, such as the lower body, chest and back, shoulders, and arm muscles. These larger muscle groups are composed of paired flexor and extensor muscles that must be trained simultaneously.

Since muscles require at least three days of rest to repair and rebuild, each muscle group-focused workout should be performed at maximum once a week. Further to prevent muscle fatigue or injuries, it is important to diversify strength training routines at least every two months.
