So I have devised a workout plan that any hikki/NEET can do in the comfort of their own home. All you're gonna need are a pair of adjustable dumbbells, some weights and perhaps a pull up bar. It's simple, effective and doesn't take up much space unlike full home gyms. It shouldn't cost you too much, a full year of gym membership is going to cost way more. I recommend starting out with 40-50kg (90-110lbs) in total. Buy mostly 5kg (11lbs) plates and some 2kg (4.4lbs) ones. That way you can adjust the weight depending on the exercise in a nice flexible way. You can buy more later as you get stronger, but this should be enough for a beginner for now.
Here's the full routine:
Day 1: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Chest:
1. Dumbbell bench press (4 sets of 6-10 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/dumbbell-bench-press2. Diamond pushups (3 sets to failure, do this on your knees if it's too tough to do it the normal way):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/diamond-push-ups3. Decline pushups (3 sets to failure):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/decline-push-up4. Dumbbell lateral raise (4 sets of 8-12 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/dumbbell-lateral-raise5. Dumbbell shoulder press (4 sets of 8-12 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/dumbbell-shoulder-pressDay 2: Biceps/Abs
1. Dumbbell curl (4 sets of 8-12 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/dumbbell-curl2. Hammer curl (4 sets of 8-12 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/hammer-curl3. Weighted crunches (4 sets to failure, hold a weight plate on your chest):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/crunches Day 3: Back/Legs
1. Pullups (4 sets to failure), you might need to slim down for this one, most people can't do a single one at the start:
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/pull-ups2. Dumbbell row (4 sets of 8-12 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/dumbbell-row3. Dumbbell Lunge (3 sets of 6-10 reps):
https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/dumbbell-lunge4. Weighted stair climb (you can replace this with whatever you feel like it if you don't have access to a set of stairs, it's just what I find the most fun)
Add a rest day in there whenever you feel like it or do a "bro-split" if you think it's too tough to hit multiple muscles in the same day.

You shouldn't compare your stats to mine however, because I have prior weightlifting experience and I guess I maintained some of my muscle/strength back from when I still used to go to the gym. As long you're above beginner level on that strengthlevel.com site I linked you're still okay.

What's the best way /qa/ knows of to develop a more specific schedule for hitting all the different parts of your body most effectively? There seems to be so many different exercises out there you can do that work out parts of your body in so many different ways, yet because of all this variety I find it difficult to really put together anything since I'm overwhelmed with options. Also I have no idea how to balance my exercises so that I don't end up killing parts of my body by doing too many exercises in one area while the other gets ignored.

No.107447
>>107440In my opinion you want compound exercises that work entire muscle groups at once, like squats or bench press, instead of things target only one muscle at a time, like curls. That will develop your balanced physique and it saves you a lot of time.
https://stronglifts.com/5x5/#Muscles_WorkedThis section has a good explanation, I would also recommend that 5x5 program if you have access to a barbell. Some of those exercises can be done with dumbbells too but you won't be able to go as heavy.
