@dawn16 No,i've taken it from some guy on yt that has 200 subs,so idk if its good to start with

 

[dawn16]

@talwyn It's an alright list of exercises but how do you know the sets and reps are going to be any good? What's the plan for progression?

 

[talwyn]

@dawn16 Its higher intensity so i suppose adding weight.I am new don't judge me

 

[dawn16]

@talwyn Not judging you at all, you're doing something good.

My point is that this routine could be done with very good results or with no results. The sets and reps only make sense if the weight used works with them. You ideally want to be going to or close to failure on most sets, or at least struggling with the last few reps. You want to be going heavy with the big compound lifts at the start of the workout and lighter with the smaller isolation movements. The reps should match this, being lower for the heavy lifts and higher for the lighter lifts. This plan has that, I just wanted to get you thinking about why it's laid out this way.

For progression it helps to have a few rules to follow. Let's say week one you manage to do all the sets and reps with little to no difficulty. Next week you'll increase the weight a bit. If you keep doing this and then eventually fail to complete some reps, keep the weight the same next week or lower them if you really struggled to get even a few reps.
