Do you really need to do dedicated 'leg' or 'arm' days? (lemmy.ca)

I've been going to the gym for a few months, still feel like a noob tho.

I track what exercises I do, weight & reps, etc, and try to rotate between the different exercises I enjoy.

However I don't do leg-centric days or anything like that, I just try and do a variety each week and not go too long without exercising specific areas. Is that bad?

Check out AthleanX. The exercises are basically straight out of the physical therapy handbook. It actually made my shoulder labrum tear better for like 3 years (then I moved to AX-2 before I was ready).

They also have a calisthenics program that uses 0 weight, but pull muscle groups obviously aren't targeted super well.
