Greetings! Basically I'm looking for some pointers as doing my own research seems to of given me more questions rather than answers (As seems to be the way) So anyway here it goes.
Iv been looking at a variety of workout plans, some seem to suggest a 5 day split; Which seems to be the most logical. However, some don't really seem to have any split (For instance "Jason Ferrugia" 's workout plan to start with doesnt really seem to have a obvious split routine for muscles; which seems to have quite good reviews) So, as a beginner what would people recommend? (Ie Upper/Lower split, etc?)
(Also if anyone can give me some feedback on the Jason Ferrugia Beginner Blast Off that would help a bunch!)
Iv also been looking at the difference between compound lifts (Free weights) and isolation machines. With the former appearing to be much better than the latter? Not sure if this is true or not, though a lot of the routines on this forum seem to use them rather than machines.
Lastly, there's the whole "To Failure" I keep hearing. Some say its good to go all the way to failure, others say do low reps with high weights and stop before it? A bit confused on this point as much of the information iv found has been conflicting?
Probably newbie questions but I'm still very new to all this, any feedback would be very appreciated!!
Thanks!!
