GYM PROGRAM

I just started going to the gym and I'm a bit lost with all the different programs and recommendations I can find.

Do you have a simple program that I could commit to for the first 3 months? consider that I will only have the time to go 2/3 times maximum per week.

Cheers

You have time to go 2/3 times per week, but for how long?

If you can only do 2x, do full body: (because you should train each muscle group more than once)

Day 1:

Barbell squat

Barbell bench

Triceps

Rows

Shoulder press

Leg curls

Day 2:

Deadlift

Dumbbell bench

Pullups/ Lat pulldowns

Biceps

Lateral raises

Calves

If you can do 3 days, then do push pull legs:

Day 1: Push

Barbell bench

Shoulder press

Triceps

Lateral raises

Day 2: Pull

Deadlift

Rows

Pullups/ Lat pulldowns

Biceps

Day 3: Legs

Barbell squat

Leg curls

Calves

Leg extensions

Does this sound good? Just follow the general structure, be consistent and you'll be fine. What you do exactly isn't super important at this stage.

Sounds good mate (had to google some of these tbh) 4*10 reps each ?

I would target 6-8 reps per exercise and if you can go to 9 reps, move up in weight.

That's a lot of sets, depending on the time you have. Smtg like 3 sets for the big compounds, and 2 for the accessories would be good. Try to add more weight to the bar each week and you're set
