Objective. The purpose of this work is to highlight the progress made in the development of strength motor skill in order to obtain some guide results, registered for the main muscle groups involved in the training of the junior bodybuilders. Methods. A study was organized to that end in the fitness and bodybuilding gym of Pescariu Club. A number of 12 athletes - beginner bodybuilders - of 17-18 years old participated in this research. Research methods used: review of the specialized literature, pedagogical observation, method of tests, statistical and mathematical method and graphical representation of data. The training program was applied throughout the entire period of the study, namely from October 2013 to September 2014. The investigated group was submitted to a number of seven test events for specific motricity: barbell bench press, seated behind the neck press, standing EZ-bar curls, lying EZ-bar French press for triceps muscles, bar squats, seated calf raises on machine, barbell dead lifts. Results. The lessons were carried out according to the experimental curriculum proposed by this research and prove a significant positive influence in all the physical test events, leading to obvious differences between tests at the end of the experiment. This conclusion is supported by the significant differences between the arithmetical means of the tests at P<0.001. We are able to draw the conclusion that the programmed workouts can be successfully used in the training of the juniors, which proves that the methods implemented during a calendar year can have a benefic influence on the development of the strength motor skill. Conclusions. The selection of some methodical procedures for strength development by using bodybuilding specific means resulted in the improvement of the strength development process during the workouts.
