I have been lifting on and off over the years but decided its time to get serious.
After reading some of the posts here about hypertrophy, muscular atrophy and training frequency, I came up with the following routine using chatgpt and what exercises i do currently.
It an anterior posterior split.
Is my split optimal for upper body aesthetics/hypertrophy (exercise selection, volume, reps range, number of sets etc.)?
Also because of my schedule I cant change my workout days.
