Notes:
Increase the weight gradually over time as you get stronger and aim to reach failure on the last rep of each set.
Rest for 1-2 minutes between sets and exercises.
It’s recommended to alternate the days to give your muscles time to rest and recover.
Make sure to follow a healthy diet, get enough sleep, and stay hydrated to support your muscle-building goals.
