Right now, I just do a circuit from home due to the limited time I have.
Otherwise I'd be doing some variation of strong lifts at 24 hour fitness, I’ll probably get back to it during summer.

So I typically work out twice a week, but I basically just focus on maintenance. When you're maintaining, you only need to work out once a week.
But if you want to change your body physique, the rule of thumb is to add more sessions
I typically workout for about 70-90 minutes. This includes warm-ups, cool-downs and a light jog sometimes.
From home I do calisthenics and I have access to have fitness center in my complex. A typical workout looks like this:
1. Warmup: 5x10 minutes (active stretching, active movements, maybe a quick jog)
2. Lunges- 5x30
3. Squats- 5x20
4. Pullup bar-4x failure
(fitness center circuit):
5. chest press-5x10
6. Tricep dips-5xfailure
7. Tricep pulldowns-5x10
8. Pushups-5xfailure
Then I go back home and do another circuit:
9. pull-ups-4xfailure
10. tricep dips- 4xfailure
11. decline pushups-4xfailure
12. incline pushups-4xfailure
Like diets i don't really switch workouts much, I just do what's convenient....
Imo if you're not seeing the benefits from machines and certain exercises then you're probably working out too much and you're muscles aren't resting enough.
I see the greatest gains when I'm lowkey lazy as fukk.....I come back stronger when I'm less consistent. This tells me that my body isn't fully rested when I workout too often, like for me, 48 hours isn’t enough sometimes. With stronglifts, my body responds well to working out every 72 hours.
Everyone is different just find what works for you, that's the most important thing. When you find it you'll know it, just stick with it. Just like your shake, I love that combination especially eating a solid grain( a bagel) to help digest.
Also with full body workouts, if you're going to the gym, you don't need to do a million exercises. When I was really busy, I just did like 3 exercises within 30 minutes and I set for the next few days. The end result from full body routines is a very symmetrical physique, so don't worry about accessory lifts and exercises. Increasing certain aspects of your physique can easily be done, once you're in the maintenance stage of your physique like me.
