Gym Workout Routine for Men to Gain Muscle and Strength PDF


I hope you liked the routines.

You can change or replace any workout you don’t do with the exercise you prefer.

You can incorporate some of the below exercises in the following weeks of training.


Final Words

Women and men both have different purposes when it comes to exercise. A study suggests women mainly work out for weight loss and toning more than men, whereas men exercise more for strength, gain, and enjoyment than women. 1 Gender Differences in Exercise Habits and Quality of Life Reports: Assessing the Moderating Effects of Reasons for Exercise – National Institute of Health

Goals may differ for different genders, but the benefits of exercise are nearly the same for all.

So the important thing is to work out and keep yourself fit, active, and healthy.

And to train in an organized manner and achieve the maximum results, you can download one of the above gym workout routines depending on your fitness goal.

However, exercise is only a part of a healthy lifestyle. You should also focus on diet and quality sleep, keep yourself hydrated, and meditate to live a sound lifestyle.
