Hey!

I need some help in creating a routine/fixing the routines I written down below. I feel somewhat lost when I look online and kinda get overwhelmed by all of the different options out there. Currently I'm quite unsure if my routines are somewhat good for the goals I have in mind: A leaner physique with a V-taper, defined and bigger chest, wider shoulders and back as well as and thicker arms. When it comes to legs I don't really care that much about them. I do want some muscle mass to em but not MASSIVE ones.

I am currently following 3 different routines - 2 for upper and 1 for lower body.

Upper A
- Incline bench press (smith machine) 3x10-12
- Lat pulldown (cable preferably - sometimes machine) 3x12
- Seated cable row with Bar grip - 3x12
- Cable fly 2x10
- Triceps rope pushdown - 3x12
- Hammer curl - 3x12
- Lateral raises - 3x12
- Rear delt reverse fly (cable) 2x10- 2x10

Upper B
- Pull up 3 sets to failure
- Incline bench press (smith machine) 3x10-12
- Bench press flat / chest press machine 2x12
- Seated cable row with V-grip 3x10
- shoulder press (machine/dumbbells) 3x12
- Single arm tricep pushdown 3x12
- bicep curl 3x12
- Lateral raises 3x12
- Reverse curl 2x10 (optional one i do from time to time)
- Rear delt reverse fly (cable) 2x10

Leg routine
- Squat (barebell/smith machine) 3x10
- Romanian deadlift/regular deadlift (barebell) 3x10
- Hip thrust 3x10
- Seated leg curl 2x12
- Leg extension 3x15-20 (Got a recommendation to do higher reps and lower weight due to an old injury acting up)

That's about it!

Hey!

I need some help in creating a routine (preferably an upper/lower body split routine). I feel somewhat lost when I look online and kinda get overwhelmed by all of the different routine there is out there...!

I have worked out before, although at home with a pair of dumbbells and bodyweight. I would say I'm a little bit above the amaetur level (but stiiiiilll very much a newbie at the gym.)

I love you using my body weight and free weight stuff over only using machines. The gym I'm currently subscribed to doesn't have really good equipment (+ I'm kinda of a short fella so the machines aren't always very easy to adjust for my height)

My goals are to get a leaner physique with a bit more muscle mass, basically a more athletic looking body (like soccer/football players, olympic athletes in running, jumping etc.). I really want to get more defined and bigger chest, shoulders, arms and back. The legs, I don't reaaaaally care too much about them, as in, I don't want massive quads or calves. Mostly cause it simply isn't my body ideal for myself! But I still and will work on them (so don't worry!!!), no chicken legs here!

I am currently following 4 different routines - 2 for upper and 2 for lower body.

Thank you for any tips or routines dropped in the thread!
