I don't know anything about how fitness works tbh. Been going to the gym for months now following a routine I made up with zero idea what I was doing. Just attempting to hit every muscle and seperating out muscles groups by days.

Any information or reliable guides would be great

go to reddit /r/fitness find the basic workout routine do that until you get consistent and familiar with the barbell movements (or just read what the wiki of /r/fitness says they chart your whole path)

squat bench and deadlift are what get you big and strong so dont sleep on them

this is assuming youre an average joe with no physical or health variables that would impede you from doing certain exercises

also if youve ran into the deadlifting is bad myth forget about it its a myth deadlifting makes your back stronger and more resistant to injury so do them theyre good for you
