I’m (43M) just starting my gym routine and was wondering about some guidelines where to get informed about good workout schedules, in example which group of muscles to do on which day for optimal effect?

E: I’m 176 cm (5 foot 9) / 86 kg (190 lb) now. Want to reach 80 kg (175 lb).

I want to lose that belly and work on overall fitness/muscle

    Greg Nuckols has a good beginner program: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/program-bundle/

    It’s like $10, and you can customize 3 to 5 days per week. It also comes with intermediate to advanced programs once you’ve gotten all the mileage out of the beginner program.

    Definitely take it slow - every day you’re out of the gym sore is a missed opportunity. Gym gains are made over years, not weeks.

      Thanks. I’ll check it out. Yes, i see now how getting myself sore prevented me from working out (and doing regular stuff was impacted too).
