If you're a beginner you don't have to worry too much about over training, That becomes more of concern as you get more advanced and can lift heavier weights, which means you can do more damage and need longer to recover. As long as you're not feeling burnt out then it's not too much.
There's a few different ways to approach it but if you're skinny fat I believe the best thing to do is bulk and focus on hypertophy. Aim for a kilo per month weight gain. This will prevent you from gaining too much excess fat as you bulk. If you're not gaining a kilo per month eat more! Maybe bulk up to 90kg before considering a cut
Thanks! Well I am reading a lot currently and just watched a video from mountaindog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVfy6sGgiHw He saying naturals shouldn't do that much volume?
Your PPL split is right in line with what he's saying about recovery. It's organized like that to give your muscles at least a few days to recover and then they're good to go again. And as beginner you do recover faster, similar to someone on gear
Ok so this should be fine?
I dont want to play around with rep Ranges too much and keep it at 8-10 and at 3x10 I increase weight for 3x8 til i hit 3x10 again
