I've been lifting weights since I was about 13-14. When I started, I remember I could only bench press 125 lbs and squat about 185 lbs heh.

Stats:

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 187 lbs
Bench: 295 lbs
Squat: 480 lbs
Power Clean: 305 lbs

I work out 6 days a week. I mix heavy freeweights to build muscle mass, machines to reinforce the freeweights, cables to build my "cuts", and cardio on all 6 days to reduce body fat %.

I do wind sprints on my cardio every 3 days or so. The other cardio days I jog with a one minute sprint at the end.

I did my weight routine on a half body schedule for years when I played football, meaning I would do upper body one day, then lower the next, then upper the next etc... Now I only group my workouts. For example, I might do biceps and triceps, then back and stomach the next day, then chest and shoulders, then hamstrings and quads, etc. I always change it up every two weeks to keep my muscles stimulated. If you do the same routine week after week your muscles get used to it.

I might even change up which muscle groups I'm working out together, like I might do chest and triceps one day instead of biceps and triceps.
