Create Your Own Training Plan

 Designing your own training plan is a great way to tailor your workouts to fit your specific goals and schedule. To get started, you'll first need to determine the workout split that best fits your lifestyle, considering your on/off days. Here are some typical workout splits to choose from: 

  • 5-Day Split: Focuses on one major muscle group each day (e.g., Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, Legs).
  • Push/Pull/Legs: Divides workouts into pushing movements (chest, shoulders, triceps), pulling movements (back, biceps), and legs.
  • Upper/Lower Split: Alternates between upper body and lower body workouts.
  • Full Body Workout: Engages all major muscle groups in each session, performed 3 times a week.
  • Body Part Split: Targets one or two muscle groups per workout, typically done over 6 days with one rest day.

 After selecting the appropriate split, pick approximately 8 exercises to execute per day. This approach ensures a balanced and effective workout routine tailored to your needs. 

exercises by muscle group

Chest

Shoulders

Chest

  • Pectoralis Major: The large muscle at the front of the chest, responsible for movements such as pushing and lifting.
  • Pectoralis Minor: A smaller muscle located underneath the pectoralis major, involved in shoulder stabilization.
  • Serratus Anterior: Located along the side of the chest, this muscle assists in shoulder movement and stabilization.

Back

Shoulders

Chest

  • Latissimus Dorsi: The broad, flat muscle covering the middle and lower back, essential for movements like pulling and rowing.
  • Trapezius: A large, triangular muscle extending over the back of the neck and shoulders, crucial for moving, rotating, and stabilizing the shoulder blades.
  • Rhomboids: Small muscles between the shoulder blades, important for retracting the scapula.
  • Erector Spinae: A group of muscles running along the spine, responsible for extending and rotating the back.

Shoulders

Shoulders

Shoulders

 Anterior Deltoid: Located at the front of the shoulder, involved in lifting the arm forward and rotating it inward.

  • Lateral Deltoid: Located at the side of the shoulder, involved in lifting the arm to the side (abduction).
  • Posterior Deltoid: Located at the back of the shoulder, involved in lifting the arm backward and rotating it outward.
  • Rotator Cuff Muscles: A group of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow for a wide range of movements.

Arms

Arms

Shoulders

  • Biceps Brachii: The prominent muscle on the front of the upper arm, responsible for flexing the elbow and rotating the forearm.
  • Triceps Brachii: The large muscle on the back of the upper arm, responsible for extending the elbow.
  • Brachialis: A muscle located underneath the biceps, assisting in elbow flexion.
  • Brachioradialis: A muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow.
  • Forearms
    • Brachioradialis: A muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow.
    • Wrist Flexors: Muscles on the anterior side of the forearm that flex the wrist.
    • Wrist Extensors: Muscles on the posterior side of the forearm that extend the wrist.

Legs

Arms

Legs

  • Quadriceps: A group of four muscles on the front of the thigh (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius) responsible for extending the knee.
  • Hamstrings: A group of three muscles on the back of the thigh (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus) responsible for bending the knee and extending the hip.
  • Gluteus Maximus: The largest muscle in the buttocks, important for hip extension, rotation, and maintaining an upright posture.
  • Calves: Comprising the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, crucial for plantar flexing the foot and stabilizing the ankle.

Core

Arms

Legs

  • Rectus Abdominis: The "six-pack" muscle running vertically along the front of the abdomen, important for flexing the spine.
  • Obliques: Muscles on the sides of the abdomen (external and internal obliques), responsible for rotating and side-bending the trunk.
  • Transverse Abdominis: The deepest abdominal muscle, essential for stabilizing the trunk and maintaining internal abdominal pressure.
