i want to properly get back into the gym but i dont have the necessary knowledge. last time i had to quit fast and didnt develop a proper workout routine.
do yall have any suggestions? my plan is for 3-4 days a week
push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest push pull legs rest
incline bench with dumbbells/barbells, and incline/decline cable flies for good chest
Preacher curls, hammer curls, and pullups with palms facing toward you for big biceps
Tricep pushdowns and facepulls with cables are good, skullcrushers also good but ymmv
Don't forget to train hamstrings too after squats, want both sides of you leg to be balanced. Get knocked knees if your quads are stronger than your hammies
This is mine. It’s a 4 days split and take the 5th day off and repeat. Worked wonders for me!
Workout Split :
Day 1 - Chest & Shoulder :
Day 2 - Back :
Day 3 - Arms :
Day 4 - Legs & Abs :
Do a upper/lower split
6-15 sets per week per muscle group.
1-3 movements per muscle group in a session, 2-8 sets per muscle group
muscle groups worked 2-6 days per week
optional: daily undulating periodization
a horizontal press (bench), incline/vertical press (incline press, dumbbell overhead press), horizontal pull (bent row, cable row), vertical pull (pullups, lat pulldown), knee-dominant leg (squats, leg press), hip-dominant leg (Romanian deadlifts), biceps isolation (curls, hammer curls), tricep isolation (seated skull crushers, pushdowns), side delt isolation (lat raises), abs
optionally: flyes, incline flyes, rear delt flyes, band pull-aparts, scapular push-ups
, walking lunges, hip thrusts, leg extensions, leg curls
A solid way to do this (save time on warming up) is to do one heavy 6-10 or 6-12 rep compound at the start, then a 10-20 rep dumbbell/cable/machine accessory for the antagonist muscle group, then 2-4 accessories done for 2-6 sets each with 10-20 rep supersets or 15-30 rep myo-rep sets.
Note: the lower end of these set ranges is adequate for growth until you're quite advanced. Even then, some folks will still gain with it provided they work with pristine form and right at failure (novices will not need to get near true failure in order to grow with this)
