Just built myself a plan based on what is currently available in my gym at work - limited equipment due to COVID. If you want this to be a fat burning workout, superset some of the aux lifts so your heart rate doesn't drop in between exercises.

Day 1:
Back Squat
Straight Legged Deadlift
BB Bent Over Row
BB Curl
BB Wrist Curl
BB Shrug
DB Flat Bench
Pull Ups

Day 2:
BB Overhead Press
Leg Curls
Leg Ext
DB Incline Bench
EZ Reverse Curls
Lat Pulldown
Delt Flyes
Ab Circuit

Day 3:
Front Squat
BB Calf Raises
BB Upright Row
DB Hammer Curls
Cable Standing Tri Ext
DB Flyes
DB Lat Raises
Pull Ups

Day 4:
BB Flat Bench
Leg Press
Calf Press
Arnold Press
Cable Crossovers
DB Hammer Curls
DB Seated Lat Raises
Ab Circuit

Day 5:
BB Deadlift
DB Seated Overhead Press
EZ Skullcrushers
DB Shrugs
EZ Preacher Curls
Cable Tri Pushdowns
Cable Rows
Chin Ups

I envy your having the time to do all that. If I can get in two workouts a week I'm doing good.

It takes me less than an hour to change, workout, and change back into my work clothes. I use it as my lunch break.

Don’t do this. It’s all fluff. Just find a program using the main lifts, and throw in 2-3 accessories and you’re golden.

LiftVault

That has a bunch of good free programs

Agree but am far from an expert. But results speak. Got their greyskull spreadsheet and am on week 9 and have lost 20 pounds. Also on a low carb, not keto, just cut down on rice and taters...AND...stopped snacking after dinner. Fiddled with the spreadsheet and the wife is doing it and loving it too.

greyskull lp

For fat burning, learn to diet properly. I suggest avatar or carbon coaching or rp diet app or following leangains macros using MyFitnessPal.

Thanks for that website - looks like a great resource.

My main goal is to hit most body parts every day, but I do spend 15-20 minutes of my workout on the main lift each day, and about 30 min combined on the rest.

Greyskull all day then. Best beginner plan there is imo.

That’s overkill. One compound lift plus 3 accessories is plenty good enough for a day.

Stronglifts 5x5 is my beginner recommendation. Add some accessory work for arms, upper chest, low back, etc if you want to.

Much appreciated.

Is the 5x5 similar to the 5 3 1 program?

I use to do something similar... then injuries set in.


OP, find an A/B workout split and repeat as many times a weak as you care to. I typically do push/pull split routines and have had good success.

What don't you understand?

Pick a template, and Follow the set/rep scheme and progression.

If it says 2x5,1x5+.... You do first two sets of 5 reps, then on the last set you push to failure.

Let me know what you are not understanding and I'll try and explain.

This is what I use:

GS

Download the spreadsheet, make a copy and rename. Follow the directions to get the starting weights. I strongly recommend that on the progress page you add a trendline. 777 has a thread referenced above that is well worth your time reading.

Edit to add another nice Write up.

LSU777, appreciate the info.

Do you always do warm up sets prior to the 3 working sets?

I am leaning towards the fat loss program so I can leave running in my routine. How many plug ins do you recommend when starting? Want to focus on chest, arms, and calves.
