Will this workout routine get me buff?

[ThisGuyMatt]

Upper
Bench 3x8
Barbell Row 3x8
OHP 3x8
Pullups 3x8
Facepulls x abs superset 3x10-15
skull crushers x curls superset 3x10-15

Lower
Squat 3x5
Deadlift 2x5
Bulgarian Split Squats or Walking Lunges 3x8-12
Leg extension x Leg Curl superset 3x10-15

I rotate the upper body and lower body every day, so I work upper body 4 days a week. Is that too much? Also is it okay that I'm doing the upper body(chest, arms, back, shoulders) all on same day? Anything else I should add or change to the workout?

Thanks!

Food is what will make you big. Then rest. Then the workout. The workout doesn't mean jack shit if you don't get the other two right. So what's your diet?

I don't have set foods I eat for breakfast lunch dinner, but I eat fruits, vegetables, and meat(mostly chicken) everyday. And I have whey protein after my workouts.

Chicken and asparagus ain't gonna cut it. You need calories and chicken has precisely squat for calories. Start eating pasta, red meat, waffles, eggs, potatoes, milk. You need to ram food down your gullet not eat whenever it suits you.

I wanna join a good amount of muscle that is also defined. But I don't wanna get fat.

Like it was said u need to eat 1st then train and rest. Muscle doesn't grow over night.
Don't rush it or u will mess with your gains

Bro you're not gonna get "buff" eating that shit. Fruits and vegetables are great... after you just slammed a 12 oz steak and twice baked potato.

I like the routine for the most part. Simple and lots of heavy compound stuff. Alternate sets of 10 to 12 with sets of 3 to 5 every other session.

Also would do on off on off for a schedule if possible. Recovery is key.

As for diet eat plenty of meat some fat but keep in mind carbs will be fueling this workout. Lots of potatoes rice and pasta. If you are getting fat too quick scale back the size of each meal.

Just please don't use the word buff here lol we take this seriously

 

[saltylifter]

I also snack allot between meals.

So should I take a 2 day rest after upper and lower body instead of one? For example: Monday: upper Tuesday: Lower wedensday: Off day Friday: upper Saturday: lower Sunday: off day

Haha sorry I won't use it, I'm new to all this
