Do you really need to do dedicated 'leg' or 'arm' days? (lemmy.ca)

I've been going to the gym for a few months, still feel like a noob tho.

I track what exercises I do, weight & reps, etc, and try to rotate between the different exercises I enjoy.

However I don't do leg-centric days or anything like that, I just try and do a variety each week and not go too long without exercising specific areas. Is that bad?

I used to do splits. Now I do full body variation every 3 days instead of every other day. Even though my workouts themselves are longer, the extra rest is worth it, as well as more time to do what you want on those 2 days off. Usually some type of core and cardio. Learned this program from Greg Doucette on YT. Great for older gym rats.
