This page covers what each type of day generally includes, not a specific program. For how these types combine into a full week (Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, and others), see the workout splits overview elsewhere on this site.

More detail, and the ability to adjust exercises for your own routine, is on the way. This is a starting reference, not the final word on any of these.

This is general information, not personalized medical or training advice. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially with an existing injury or medical condition.
