Notes:

Rest for 1-2 minutes between sets and exercises.

Use a weight that allows you to complete the desired number of reps with good form.

Increase weight gradually as you become stronger and more comfortable with the exercises.

Make sure to stay hydrated and fuel your body with proper nutrition before and after the workout.

It's important to listen to your body and adjust the workout as needed based on your individual needs and limitations.

Remember, this is just an example of a split routine and can be adjusted based on individual preferences and needs. It's always a good idea to consult with a certified personal trainer or healthcare provider before starting a new workout program.
