Intermediate-Level 5-Day Comprehensive Daily Workout Plan

This plan targets all core muscle groups (chest, back, legs, shoulders, arms, core) with 2+ exercises per group, balanced intensity, and rest/recovery built in to prevent burnout and injury. It uses a push/pull/legs + full-body split for progressive growth.

Pre-Plan Notes:

• Train 5 days/week, with 2 full rest days + 1 active recovery day
• Rep ranges: 8–12 for hypertrophy, 6–8 for strength focus
• Rest periods: 1–2.5 minutes (adjust based on your fitness level)
• Prioritize form over weight to avoid strain
