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

You have access to barbells and want to get strong / muscular?

Just run Starting Strength for a while until your progress slows down. Ask others for help with technique/form/advice.

Example: https://www.muscleandfitness.com/workout-plan/workouts/workout-routines/4-week-beginners-guide-building-stronger-more-muscular-physique/

Once you've been doing compound lifts for a while you can explore intermediate programming that has a more specific focus. But generally you can make good progress on beginner programs for a while.

Make sure you're paying adequate attention to rest and nutrition as well.
