Hey guys, I’m looking for advice on how to create my own bodybuilding routine, I know it’s not a “one program works for all” thing and I’m looking to do it natty for a few years. Any input is appreciated!
 
So two ways I would recommend would be the first is a push one day meaning all your exercises are pushing weight and then a pull day meaning all your exercises are pulling motions.

Or you have the muscle group split where each day you take a different muscle group and push it hard. One day would be legs, the next chest the next back and shoulders then you can have a core day you can do another leg day or whatever you want to work on the most to get it growing.
Don’t forget either way 30-45min of cardio any kind your choice bike,elliptical, steps, running or treadmill.

Good luck and good gains brother
 
I always liked a 4 day split, Monday chest/tri Tuesday back/bi, Wednesday off, Thursday shoulders/forearms/abs, Friday legs

Kept my major muscle groups at about 15 sets, lesser muscle groups about 8-10 sets, legs was closer to 20 sets
 
Thanks for the fast response, just a quick question, if I were to go the push and pull route, how many days per week do you recommend?
 
If you’re going to work out natty 4-5 depending upon your schedule and everything revolves around your diet its the most important thing to eat not just right but the right amount of food.
 
I think everyone has his own philosophy on what’s the best or most effective. You can go push/pull/leg or split it or whatever. The most important part is that you try different routines and find one that works for your body and you have fun doing it. Having the most effective routine doesn’t help at all if you hate it and loose your motivation.

In my beginner times I changed my program every 6weeks or so until I found something that I looked forward doing. For me it’s a split Monday: chest/bi , Tuesday: back/tri, Wednesday: legs, Thursday: day off , Friday: shoulder/abs, and Saturday whatever muscle group doesn’t hurt, Sunday off or light cardio
 
My routine is Monday- Upper Body Strength. Tuesday- Lower Body Strength. Wednesday- Rest Day. Thursday- Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy. Friday- Legs Hypertrophy. Saturday- Chest, Biceps, and Triceps Hypertrophy. Sunday- Rest Day. I’m able to hit all muscle groups twice a week.
 
I do push ,pull and leg day . I just take a day off in between all of them . Well really not off cause I do cardio and abs on the off days . I swim in the summer and do rounds on the heavy bag and speed bag .
In the winter I ride the bike and use the treadmill .
 
Another thing I like to throw in is setting up my deadlifts or squats for a weight I can do comfortably 3x’s. Set a timer for 10min and see how many reps I can get in that time frame, and try to bet it the next week.
 
I use the Renaissance periodization (RP) templates, they have physique, powerlifting, weightlifting etc. kinda pricey but they do all the progressive overload math and thinking for you.
 
All these seem like good starting points. I would assume you’re a beginner. So I would advice dont over do it starting out you might burn yourself out and then get discouraged and quit. Also nutrition is a good place to start. Just play around with what you think works best for you. Also look up John meadows he has some beginner videos on YouTube.
 
If you are a beginner, my personal opinion is a 3 day split Monday/Wednesday/Friday full body routine with only a couple sets per muscle group.
