Help me customize a workout plan

To customize a workout plan, consider the step-by-step advice provided by experts on the Huberman Lab, particularly Andy Galpin and Andrew Huberman. Here's a summary of tailored programming and suggestions to optimize your workout:

Step-by-Step Program Design

1. Goal Identification:

   • Define clear objectives, such as strength, hypertrophy, endurance, or a combination.
   • This will guide the structure of your workout routines and exercise selection 1.

2. Weekly Planning:

   • Plan your workouts across the week, ensuring you target different fitness aspects each day (e.g., strength, cardio) 2.
   • Example Week:
     • Sunday: Endurance (30-75 minutes of zone two cardio, e.g., jogging or cycling).
     • Monday: Upper Body Strength (compound exercises like bench press, pull-ups).
     • Wednesday: Lower Body Strength (squats, deadlifts).
     • Friday: Full Body Hypertrophy (mixed rep ranges with varied rest intervals) 3.

3. Exercise Selection:

   • Ensure exercises are balanced across muscle groups and movement patterns to avoid overuse injuries.
   • Prioritize exercises based on importance for your goal (e.g., start with heavy lifts if strength is the focus) 1.

4. Volume and Intensity:

   • Determine reps and sets based on your goals:
     • Strength: Higher weights, lower reps (3-5 sets of 3-6 reps with longer rest periods).
     • Hypertrophy: Moderate weights, moderate reps (3-4 sets of 8-15 reps with 60-90 seconds rest).
     • Endurance/Cardio: Longer durations (20-60+ minutes) at steady or variable intensities 1.

5. Rest Intervals:

   • Adjust rest according to the goal:
     • Strength: 2-5 minutes.
     • Hypertrophy: 30-90 seconds.
     • Endurance: Minimal rest, continuous activity 1.

6. Chaos Management:

   • Anticipate potential disruptions and adapt:
     • If short on time, adjust volume or intensity. For quick hypertrophy, lower rest intervals 3.
     • For strength-focused sessions, prioritize heavy lifts with reduced volume if time-constrained.
