Title explains itself. I’m a 28 y/o male, 5’11”, 165 lbs, BMI approx. 20-23. My current exercise priorities are weekly pick-up basketball and low-medium distance running (3-6 miles 1-2 x per week). I have been “priming” myself at Planet Fitness but will be moving to a gym with power racks in the next few days to consistently add barbell lifting 3 x per week.
I’ve found a regimen I like of A/B days divided into 6 days of lifting every 2 weeks. Lifts include squat, bench press, bent rows, mil press, deadlift, and chin-ups with warm-ups/cool-downs including jogging, kettle bell, and core exercises.
I am looking to improve strength and muscle endurance for running and basketball while avoiding bulking, which I assume would make basketball and running more difficult. Also I like my lean frame and while I know I will inevitably add mass, I would prefer to end up more defined, not necessarily significantly larger.
Any recommendations for number of reps and sets when using the barbell?
Thank you in advance!
