my personal preference for weight is if i fail at around 6-8 reps! if i CAN do 8-10, i up the weights! if i can’t make it to 6, it’s too heavy. i do 2 leg days and 2 arm days, focusing on different parts (so, back/biceps one day, and chest/triceps the other for example)

depends on your goals! i’m not sure if you’d be interested but andy galpin and andrew huberman have a few podcasts and youtube videos on how to create your program/split dependent upon your goals!

if you’re going for strength vs. aesthetics you’d train differently just like a long distance runner will train differently than a sprinter

for starters I would aim to hit each muscle group once a week until you start to feel more comfortable with form and technique, and eventually have additional strength and proper technique before adding additional accessories and alternative lifts.

something that is easier to follow would be a push pull legs split. you would be in the gym either 3 or 6 days a week. if you’re just starting off I would do 3 so your body adjusts! you can also add other days to the 3 day split, if for example you start to really like your leg day you can add an additional leg day, or same with any other muscle group!

push would include: chest, triceps, and shoulders pull would include: back and biceps legs would include: quadriceps, adductors (inner thigh) hamstrings, abductors (outer thigh & deep butt), calves, and glutes!

if you’d be interested in the same break down for the other days feel free to shoot me a dm but I don’t wanna write too much as i’ve already written a lot but I hope some of this helped :)

also, set and rep ranges totally depend on your goals and what you’d like to get out of strength training. so if you could specify for us what you’d like to gain from the gym we could help more specifically with that!
