Article proposal (Thrushy)

In the Wikipedia article, "Weight Training" there are a few minor changes to be made throughout the article to help improve the overall aspect of the article. To start off I would first like to cite the information on isometric exercises. In the Wikipedia article it fails to cite this information, so this dramatically help improve the article. They did a good job at bring up isometric exercise, but they didn't explain it to the readers. In the article they also didn't cite isotonic exercise so I would do the same for that by providing citations to help improve the article. Then in the article there was misleading information about how weight training just increases the size of your skeletal muscles, but they were wrong since weight training can also be used to maintain current physique. This would help the article because of the misinformation that is contains. After the bigger improvements were made then i would move on to the minor edits that should be made in the article. I would us the article "Full Body Vs. Split Workouts" to help improve the basic principles part of the article by giving it trustworthy information. Then I would add to the safety section some do's and don'ts to make the information easier and more basic for readers to view.

Article Proposal (Tonylorenzo14)

In the Wikipedia article, "Weight Training" there are improvements and changes that need to be made to refine the information given in the article. I would like to expand upon the difference between doing a full body workout or choosing to break up your workouts into split, and what way would benefit you most based on your goals. I think it is important for someone to determine what their goals are when they go to the gym, and your workout load can determine if you accomplish those goals or not. Would like to expand on the health benefits someone gains simply by lifting. It's not all about just making your body look good, you should strive to feel good as well. There is a lot of debate especially today about which is better, free weights or machines. I will talk about the benefits and cons of each form. I will use the “Ballistic Training” article to better describe what goes into ballistic training. And finally i will talk about how strength training changed the dynamic of sports in America.
