Monday/Thursday: Chest + Shoulders + Core
✅ Exercise: Push-ups (4 sets x 10 reps) + Dumbbell Shoulder Press (3 sets x 12 reps) + Crunches (3 sets x 15 reps)
Tuesday/Friday: Back + Legs + Arms
✅ Exercise: Pull-ups (3 sets x 8 reps, assisted version) + Squats (4 sets x 12 reps) + Dumbbell Curls (3 sets x 12 reps)
Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday: Rest (can be combined with low-intensity activities like walking)
Intermediate: Quad Split Training (3-6 Months)
Core Principle: Differentiate large muscle groups + synergize small muscle groups
Training Pace: Work on 3 days on, 1 day off, 60-75 minutes each session

Core Logic: Focus on a single major muscle group each day, meticulously crafting it
Training Pace: 5 days on, 2 days off, 75-90 minutes each session

Learn the movement patterns before adding weight, or you'll be more prone to injury!
Only training your upper body and ignoring your legs: Leg training stimulates testosterone production, which is crucial for overall muscle growth!From beginner to advanced, take it one step at a time. Don't overdo it, and stick with it.
