I (M28) have recently gotten back to exercising on a regular basis. I am dealing with runner's knee/ankle at the moment, so my workouts have primarily been weight training, with a light cardio warm-up and cool down.
I have been training every other day and using a routine as follows for the past 6 weeks:
Is this too much volume? Should I be focusing on fewer exercises or large compound movements to be more efficient? I really like doing a full body workout every other day, so I'm trying to make sure I'm reaching my goals and crafting a routine that's sustainable. So far I haven't faced any issues.
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
