I was just about to post a question closely related to this. I am not planning on getting jacked, but I am looking to make some muscle gain and improve my body frame. I am slim person and I want to make some change. But I don’t like spending a lot of time at the gym, I go in and spend half of the time there on cardio and remaining on weights is my plan. So was thinking about some of the main workouts that I can just focus on to achieve that. This is a good advise. But need suggestion on how to spread it per visit and what amount of time or reps do I put in.

Seems like you hav exciting plans.

Generally it helps to give muscles at least 48 hours to recover from a lift. An easy way to ensure that is to split the exercises into upper-body exercises and lower-body exercises. Just as long as you avoid focusing on the same groups as best you can.

Generally 3-5 sets works. And 1-4 reps for purely strength training…5-12 reps for muscle building…13-whatever reps for endurance training.
