    Fairly new to bodybuilding and need advice.

    Hi, im a 19 year old ex skinny nerd that has gained a few kgs of muscle from the past 4 or so months of going to the gym.
    To be exact i was 60kgs standing at 170cm and i am 79kgs at the same height now but ive ran into a big issue.
    Due to my lack of experience and knowledge ive been basically doing the same workouts on repeat in a cycle of 2 days work one day rest for a few months.
    While it has made a significant difference in my body recently i noticed that while my muscles recover alright, my ligaments and joints are not recovering as well so ive been looking into changing my workout routine to something more optimal for muscle growth. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some advice on how i should change it and details like that.

    Can u post your training routine and weights? Sets/reps/rest intervals


    Also, what you typically eat..

    i have 2 jobs so what i eat pretty much depends on where i am but i try to eat at least 4x a day mainly just grill from wherever im at and some rice . about the routine its literally just one day upper body and training everything as close to muscle failure as possible and one day legs then rest. for upper body day i usually do - lat pulldowns 3x10 cable rows 2x10 1x12 and flys 3x10 then i do bicep curls 3x10-12 lateral raises 3x10 and tricep cable pulldowns again 3x10 and lastly i do shoulderpress 3x10 overhead dumbell tricep raise 3x10 and cable bicep curls 3x10. atm im prioritizing upper body since ive had years of lower body training with kickboxing and whatnot so my legday is not rly worth mentioning. rest intervals are usually between 60 and 90 secs with bigger rest between excercise sets

    Here’s one option:

    As you see the sets and reps- Adjust the weight as necessary to train as hard as possible with good form in all assigned rep ranges.


    Mondays and Thursdays

    Chest/Back/Shoulders

    Bench Press 3-4 sets 5-8 reps.
    Incline press 3-4 sets 6-10 reps.

    Row 3-4 sets 6-10 reps
    Wide grip lat pulldowns 3-4 sets 6-10 reps

    Shoulder press 3-4 sets 5-8 reps
    Upright rows 3-4 sets 6-12 reps

    ———++++++++

    Tuesday and Friday
    Squat 3-4 sets 5-8 reps
    Leg press 3-4 sets 6-12 reps
    Leg curls 3-4 sets 8-15 reps

    Barbell curls 3-4 sets 6-10 reps
    Triceps pushdowns 3-4 sets 6-10 reps


    Focus on two handed compound exercises and get stronger at pushing and pulling.
