hey very new at this just wanted some input into my routines see if i need to change anything
basically what im doing every morning fasted is 10 minutes on the cross trainer as warm up, leg day i do

30 walking lunges with 5 kg dumbbell each hand then
30 squats with 5 kg dumbbell each hand then repeat 3 times
then i move onto machines,
leg press with 30 and do as many as i can usually 15 and repeat twice
then leg press at 30 and same again as many as i can do usually 10 x 3
leg extensions 3 x 10

then i finish with a hiit workout
1 minute running at 12mph on 3-5 incline (change it up during work out)
then i recover on 6mph then run for a minute or more if i can and less if i cant and recover and change that up slightly for 20 minutes


is this okay?

    do you do this once a week, twice a week, etc…same routine every day? Do you have access to a gym? What are your goals?

    i usually do this twice monday and wednesday
    tuesday and thursday i do same workout but do upper body basically and friday i do core and abs but each session i do weights and this hiit type cardio and this is at a gym at 6 am every morning

    goals are to bascially build as much lean muscle as possible :)

    I would suggest that you want to add barbell squats and deadlifts to your leg day ..

    Pick up a copy of starting strength and/or new rules of lifting ..

    5x5 is a good program too….

    I would suggest a heavy lifting program built around compounds. it sounds like you are already doing an upper lower split ..so continue with that but add in more compounds and work out in 8-10 rep range and sets of four ….

    If you like the cardio keep doing it…but it is not that necessary …I usually do one HIIT session a week and some abs ...
