Favorite bodybuilding routines for someone new to this

[ziskei]

I'm very new to weight training and I'm 26 years old. I've done it here and there. Back in the old days I used to lift weights for football but I really wasn't consistent. I just go in the weight room every now and then and throw some weights around. I wasn't really serious about it.
Now I got a gym membership and I'm serious. I would like to do a good bodybuilding routine to build muscle and strength. What's a good one for someone like me who's a late bloomer?

I think a new lifter could benefit from doing something like the 5x5 program. It's been used for many years successfully.

You can do something where you're focusing just on compound movements. This way you can build a base and really develop a good physique.

Bros, you should do a split routine, maybe a three-day split, something like:
- push
- pull
- legs
Very easy to follow and it stays fun.

You'll do fine focusing on four or five of the big lifts. Once you get them dialed in, then you could start doing isolation movements.

I think the 5x5 program is the GOAT so I agree with that. You should definitely make sure that you're also incorporating cardio. Don't just do weight training.
