I'd probably try to focus on the larger compound lifts, if your gym has the equipment to allow it.

By doing Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press and Press, you will get more mileage out of each exercise.

It all depends on your goals, of course, but this is aligned with my goals - strength, maintaining health as I age, becoming faster on my bike, and looking good.

Here's a resource that has been useful for me: https://thefitness.wiki/
