How is this split I've been doing? Goal is overall health + strength
For context, I work out at home with dumbbells. I do resistance training 3x a week, with the goal of overall health (building, but mostly maintaining muscle mass to try and prevent stuff like back pain and make everyday life easier), and also just generally getting stronger. Most weeks, for 2 of the non resistance days, I play basketball, and for the other 2 I'll walk a mile or 2 (hoping to get back into running, but my form always feels weird and I'm scared of injury lol). Here's my split:
Day 1: Upper Body (Currently doing these with 15lbs per hand. I'm barely getting to 8 reps for most of these exercises right now).
2x8:
Bicep Curl
Skull Crusher
Shoulder Press
Dumbbell Rows
Chest Press
Hammer Curl
Tricep Kickbacks
Wide Grip Shoulder Press
Dumbbell Flies
Underhand Front Raises
Day 2: Core
I honestly don't like doing core exercises that much, so I just go to youtube and do 20 minutes worth of follow-along core videos lol. I can link the ones I normally do if that would help. I do want to create my own core plan eventually, but I only really like planks, leg raises, russian twists and maybe in-and-outs and I figure I'd get bored trying to get enough reps in off of those alone.
Day 3: Lower Body. I'm currently doing these with 30lbs (and a medium resistance. band for the clamshells). I know I could probably go heavier here but I want to try and get my joints acclimated as slowly as possible since a lot of my joint aches and pains live in my lower body.
3x8:
Calf raises
Tib raises
Clamshells
Dumbell deadlift
Squat
So there it is. Two questions: One, will this routine (along with increasing the weight once I can do 10 good reps) be enough to help me maintain and gain strength? And two, should I be doing more for my lower body? I was thinking about adding glute bridges to get a little more glute activation in (for function's sake), and lunges to see if I can get a little more quad growth (for vanity's sake lol).
