Come eVeRyDaY?! Yes, it’s quite possible to train literally every day. Taking about one day off each week. I want to put forth the concept that training M/W/F is MINIMUM to experience any real gains in fitness. If you’re really new, a true beginner, and have yet to train your body whatsoever, then yes, 13 workouts a month (i.e. 18 rest days) is certainly a good plan and will get you going. BUT LET’S BE SERIOUS. Once you’re looking for real bodily adaptations (reduced body fat, increased muscle, a push-up, a pull-up, to run without stopping any distance, a proper squat around 100lbs), the shift must be made. The Shift? That’s getting 16-17 sessions in each month. Then you only have 14-15 rest days. You’re finally working out more days than you aren’t working out. THIS IS A HUGE SHIFT, in mentality along with physicality. You’re a real exerciser at this point, instead of a regular person who works out from time to time. If you’ve been living this way for years, bravo, you’re probably WAY WAY fitter than all your friends, and can do things that surprise people all the time. You’re also WAY WAY less likely to have bad shit happen to you, like chronic disease stuff, no one wants that. Bravo.
The Workout:
Bench Press for 1 Rep Max
Furthermore, the thinking that what the workout is that you do do matters, is fairly false. There needs to be some smartness in there for sure, doing the same thing everyday is insanity, and boring, and doing silly exercises is a waste of time. But for example, today isn’t like “that much” really, but it’s gonna make you stronger and keep your body building up, instead of wasting away, sounds super smart to keep the ball rolling so to speak. I look forward to seeing “how much you bench!”
