Strength & Muscle Building ?

To all my people out there who have a passion or knowledge for fitness/strength building - any tips on where to start in terms of pushing yourself?

I know I have mentioned on here before about my exercise regime, but I feel that it was more centred around weight loss, and now I want to somewhat shift that in order to maximise some muscle gain & definition.

I am not saying I want to be a complete muscle mummy, but I'd definitely like more muscle definition in my arms and legs :)

My current exercise regime:

Monday:

Legs @ Gym

4 x 10 leg press 100kg

4 x 10 Leg extensions

4 x 10 leg curls

4 x 10 weighted hip thrusts

& Les Mills Legs, Bums & Tums class

Tuesday:

30 mins on treadmill at a 12% incline, 4.8, 3mph speed

Wednesday:

Chest @ gym

4 x 10 assisted bench press

4 x 10 tricep pulldowns

4 x 10 face-pulls

4 x 10 bicep curls superset with lateral raises

4 x 10 upright flyes

& Les Mills Legs, Bums & Tums class

Thursday:

30 mins on treadmill at a 12% incline, 4.8, 3mph speed

So far Fri, Sat & Sunday I do nothing...maybe I need to change that ?

Anyway...any advice is appreciated! ❤️

  • This is something I’ve grown so passionate about — becoming the fittest, strongest version of myself! One of my goals has been about feeling fit, looking strong, and proving to myself that I can

    Agreed on that point! If body comp is your goal, cardio before would generally be a bad idea and would be worse than after, as you discovered. My point was it would be even better to not do any

  • @SpartanMaker I will give that a go then- I am always willing to try anything. I don't want to stay too stagnant
