I'm trying to come up with a workout routine because I need to get back in shape. I haven't really worked out since the summer and college is taking it's toll ha I used to work out alot so I'm sure muscle memory will help alot in getting big again, but who knows I haven't come up with a routine in about 2 or 3 years. keep in mind that this is just to get me used to working out again before I start hitting it hard in a couple weeks, How does it sound?

u should have days out to rest. No point in just lifting and not letting ur body rest, u won't gain anything that way

memberships are expensive. I pay like $70 a month. Worth it for me cause I'm there almost everyday

his mondays are shoulders back traps abs and tris

in my opinion you should do somethin like this:

mon: chest and shoulders with a little abs mixed in

wed: bis tris and forearms with or without some abs, you can spend a ton of time on the first 3 so u might not need to do abs

fri: back traps and you can add in shoulders OR chest depending on which you did less of on monday, abs between sets

sun: legs

and do cardio on tues thurs sat

or chest/tris, bis/fores/abs, back/traps/abs, and then legs/abs

or if you want strength start a 5x5 program
