Hey guys,
Just started lifting again after a long break (almost a year). I am starting to get back into it but am looking for a good workout routine to start off with. For the past 2 years before the break, I have always stuck with something like a 4 day split routine. I would do something like this:
Mon: Back Bis
Tues: Chest, Tris, Abs
Wed: Shoulders, Legs
Thursday: Abs, Forearms, Cardio
Friday:Rest
Saturday:Rest
Sunday:Start all over
I am looking to see if there are any other suggestions though. My main focus hasn't been on compound movements (more isolation) and I regret that now. I have heard a lot about 5x5 routines but I just can't wrap my head around training only 3 times a week. I have always trained about 5 out of the 7 days of the week. If anyone has any suggestions for a program let me know. Also if there any good books out there to read (for training programs and nutrition) let me know as I have easy access to most books available and would enjoy a good read. By the way my goals are mainly to gain size and strength. I am carrying some extra fat but I feel like that will slim down slowly along with the training anyways. Thanks
