The 3-day beginner workout split that actually sticks
Most beginners quit within 6 weeks. Not because they're lazy — because their program sucks.
Here's the split I give every new member at Light Club:
Day 1 — Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Dumbbell bench press: 3x10
Overhead press: 3x10
Tricep dips: 3x12
Lateral raises: 3x15
Day 2 — Pull (Back, Biceps)
Lat pulldowns: 3x10
Dumbbell rows: 3x10
Face pulls: 3x15
Bicep curls: 3x12
Day 3 — Legs & Core
Goblet squats: 3x12
Romanian deadlifts: 3x10
Walking lunges: 3x12 each
Plank: 3x45sec
Rest 60-90 seconds between sets. Do this Mon/Wed/Fri. That's it.
The magic isn't in the exercises — it's in showing up 3 times a week for 12 weeks straight. Progressive overload will handle the rest.
If you want weekly programming, form check videos, and a crew that keeps you accountable, Light Club is where we do that.
