Mine is pretty much the same except I don’t do the 50-100 reps shit. He’s crazy lol I’m more heavy weight/fewer reps although I still generally hit at least 10 reps unless I’m lifting I’m the range of 80-90% of my max. He’s all bodybuilder, I’m more powerlifter/powerbuilder.6 or 7 days a week.
Push/pull/legs
One day, "push" muscles. Chest, shoulders, triceps.
One day, "pull" muscles. Back & biceps.
One day, legs & abs.
15 sets per body part. I don't count reps ( unless I'm going for 50-100). All sets to failure. Lots of drop sets, too.
Rest time in between sets is kept to one minute, ideally. It gets slightly longer when @Snarky_succubus and I are working out together... But, not by much.
We throw in some DDP yoga when we can... And some jujutsu, boxing, wrestling, judo, Muay Thai, when we aren't too banged up.
This is what hampers so many beginner and intermediate trainers. At first, I scoured the internet, and devoured all the information I could, and tried to dilute it down to something that I felt would work for me. I worked out at home with cheap dumbbells because I was too intimidated to go to the gym. Eventually, when I built up a good foundation, I took the plunge and joined an inexpensive local gym. After a while, while still trying to gather information from the internet and from people at the gym, I hired a trainer and that's when things started to really develop. To be honest, unless you're planning on going into competition anytime soon, it almost doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do it every day, and you put everything into it. That means that if you want to grow muscle, you can't just stop when things start to feel difficult or uncomfortable. Consistency is key. Most people fail only because they skip too many days, or give up. Do full body exercises, build up stamina, and get used to muscle fatigue and recovery.i dont have a routine and frankly im not sure how you pick one as theres so many(similar to all your answers) how do you all decide on these routines??
eh im not a beginner tho been working out everyday steadily for well over 5 years and i do look fit, but i guess the main difference is how to get that even more chiseled model look vs a fit dude. I think thats the main diff of having a proper routine vs being an athletic guyThis is what hampers so many beginner and intermediate trainers.

Sorry that I didn't understand that from your question. I meant no disrespect to you. In that case, I would then find a good and reliable trainer, who can help you achieve your goals. Even Arnold had trainers. The one I have now is great because he works with all kinds of people with all different goals, and customizes everyone's workout accordingly. If that's not an option for you, there are online trainers who can help, but the first key, in either case, is to find a good one, and not just one who claims to be a trainer. If you can, check out the progress they've made with others. Another key is they will probably ask you for current photos and photos of your goals. Mine took me in a completely different direction from what I was doing, and I would have disagreed with him from the get-go, but I went along with his guidance, and it has made a world of difference.eh im not a beginner tho been working out everyday steadily for well over 5 years and i do look fit, but i guess the main difference is how to get that even more chiseled model look vs a fit dude.

And he created a customized diet for me, which was also a big, but effective, change.Sorry that I didn't understand that from your question. I meant no disrespect to you.

oh im not offended im just stating that basically- i want to take it to the next level and in that sense i guess i am a beginner to having a routine. my "routine" rn is picking a machine or dumbells and doing 2-3 sets 8-12 reps as that seems to be the classic thing.Sorry that I didn't understand that from your question.

That's exactly where I was. I realized I had gone as far as I could with my own research, and needed guidance to get me to the next level.oh im not offended im just stating that basically- i want to take it to the next level and in that sense i guess i am a beginner to having a routine. my "routine" rn is picking a machine or dumbells and doing 2-3 sets 8-12 reps as that seems to be the classic thing.
