Crafting Your Ideal Workout: A Guide to Effective Muscle Building

In a recent online video, a fitness enthusiast shared a comprehensive guide on how to construct an effective workout routine designed for muscle development. The creator outlined key principles, recommending 10-20 sets per muscle group per week, with a training frequency of twice a week. A crucial tip emphasized was the importance of incorporating diverse movement patterns to engage muscles from all angles. The video provided practical examples, detailing exercises for both lower and upper body days. For leg day, specific exercises included goblet squats and leg extensions for quads, RDLs and leg curls for hamstrings, and glute bridges and cable kickbacks for glutes. Each exercise was recommended for three sets. For a 'push day,' targeting chest, shoulders, and triceps, the guide suggested chest presses, cable flyes, shoulder presses, lateral raises, assisted dips, and tricep pushdowns, also with three sets per exercise. The creator highlighted that this structure ensures a total of six sets per muscle group per workout, aligning with the recommended weekly volume. She also advised starting with a lower rep range and gradually increasing intensity.
