Prioritize compound lifts over isolation lifts. 3 or 4 sets of 10 to 15 reps, adjust on your capacity, add more weight/set/rep to improve. And remember, recovery is as much as important, so rest.

Those are solid exercises! Just to add, helpful din understanding framework ng movement patterns. When I started out I didn't know these and it led to some overuse injuries. Here's an intro:

Pero when designing your own programs, the general idea is:
match volume of opposing movement patterns

i.e. for each set of horizontal pushing exercises (bench press), add an equal number of horizontal pulling exercises (rows).

General guideline lang that is meant to be adapted based on your goals. Pero this definitely helps address imbalance that sometimes happens especially if our primary gauge is how we look in the mirror.
