Just posting to keep a journal of sorts I suppose. Never been to the gym before finding KYIL, just rocked out workout #2. Using an app my brother recommended to track workouts. Goal is minimum 3 a week; triceps/chest, biceps/back, and legs/shoulders. Definitely a good feeling walking out of the gym after finishing. Anyway, workouts posted below. Feel free to critique if there's an exercise I should swap in or out or whatever else, literally brand new to this. (plan on getting more bench stuff in here soon, tad intimidated by it now tbh)

Why no deadlift / squat / bench?

Also, what's your goal? To get big or to get strong? Not saying you can't do both, but I'd suggest focusing on one or the other seeing how you're a gym newbie.
If you go at it too hard with too many exercises you might find your self falling out of the routine altogether after 2-3 weeks. (been my experience in the past).
