Many people overwhelm gym beginners with too many (and contradicting) information, but this is my humble opinion on everything a beginner needs after 5 years of lifting.
-
No complicated splits, just start with full-body workouts. This allows you to practice the fundamental movements and promotes muscle coordination.
-
Choose exercise that are simple to execute while challenging your body. You don’t need any exercise that are complicated to do and/or easy on your body. Complex exercise don’t equal more muscle gains.
-
Do compound movements instead of isolation exercises. This strength you gain will translate to other areas much
better. After you gained some muscle you can start with isolating your muscles groups
-
Aim for 1,6 -2.2g of protein per kg (0,7-1g per lbs) of bodyweight
-
Don’t cut out on fats or carbs. Fats will support your hormone production and recovery. Carbs will give you energy.
-
Drink enough water, dehydration can seriously impact performance and recovery. Drink 2-31 of water everyday. 7. Lastly: Just start, nobody will judge you.
