@benforthelord If you’re a beginner then I seriously doubt you have any need to skew your training so hard towards any perceived weaknesses.

A simple upper/lower split is fine. Or a full body A/B split every other day will also work very well.

Have a look for something with some good reviews. Boostcamp and lift vault are my go-to places to start.

@benforthelord I would take off squats or make sure all of your exercises are light weight when starting out with a routine as heavy as this (since you’re a beginner). For your second push day I would not do the same exercises as you did in the beginning of the week, I would choose different ones to learn. Same goes for if you add in another pull day.
