A little late to the game and a total newb here, first time posting in /r/fitness.
M / 26 / 1,83m (6'0" I guess) / 75kg - 165lbs
I started to attend the gym on a regular basis a little over 2 months ago now (sometime near end of Dec 14), going 2 days a week.
Up until now I always went Tuesday and Thursday, as I'm not always home on the weekends and I wanted two days in my week where I go to the gym no matter what.
What I did was basically something to get me started
3x20,18,15 on every exercise
First of all, it made me feel good and I caught fire, so I really want to go more often, at least 3 days. That would be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (+ Saturday if I get the chance)
A friend of mine put a 2-split plan together for me for this. I would jump between them any day I go to the gym and each workout would be 3 x 12,10,8
First split: Chest - Shoulders - Biceps
Second split: Leg - Back - Triceps
So, now it would be great to hear a little feedback on all this from you guys. In general I want to build strength right now, with the plan on focussing on aesthetics later on. Is this a good workout plan for a beginner like me? How long should I stick to this or would it be a better idea to try one of the established programs for my 3 day basis? I'm still lacking strength, especially on my shoulders (seriously, they're a joke) so I think, that this plan would give me a pretty good basis.
If someone even has a tip on what I could do at home on off-days, that would be brilliant, sometimes I feel like I could do a lot more right now. My home equipment is somewhat limited, I got two dumbbells with 10kg in various plates, a ez-curl-bar with additional 2x10kg plates and a pull-up bar.
Sorry if this has gotten way longer than it needs to be, I'm just a total beginner that is a little lost and tries to make the most of his limited time.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has taken the time to read this.
