In case you’re wondering about a workout split to try, an upper body/lower body split is a great one to consider. Do upper body twice per week and lower body twice per week. Try to complete 12-15 reps for each exercise. If you can’t do at least 12 reps, decrease the weight and if you can easily do 15 reps, it may be time to increase the weight.

Here is an example of a full upper body workout that I’ve been doing:

Incline Bench Press: 3 sets of 12 repititions (reps) (45#)

Flat Dumbbell Flyes: 3 sets of 15 reps (5#)

Seated Rows: 3 sets of 15 reps (45#)

Overhead Dumbbell Press: 3 sets of 15 reps (5#)

Lateral Raises: 3 sets of 12 reps (5#)

Lying Tricep Extensions: 2 sets of 15 reps (5#), 1 set of 12 reps (10#)

Barbell Curl: 3 sets of 15 reps (20#)

Looking at this workout, I can see that I could try to increase the weight for some of the exercises for my next upper body workout.
