Specifically for a comercial gym, how do you structure them, what machines would you use for which muscles?

For years I’d alternate between running and 5x5 Strongifts. When running I’d use a treadmill. To do Stronglifts, I used a squat rack, a bench press rack, and a deadlift bar.

What muscles did I target with Stronglifts? Stronglifts has a philosophy around compound movements to use the most muscles with the least exercises.

Assuming you’ll start a new routine soon, please take care of your body! I had to stop weightlifting because of a back injury and a shoulder injury. Please make sure your form is alright; please be conservative with total volume; and please listen to your body. You can’t achieve your fitness goal if you’re injured.

Edit: After Stronglifts, I shortly did AWorkoutRoutine + running. Then I changed to Gold Medal Bodies' Elements + running, but that felt too awkward to do in a gym, so now I only do GMB exercises at home.
