Obviously, do whatever routine you want to do, but know that novices usually do not need body part splits. You should be able to, for example, bench three days a week.

So my recommendation to novices is usually:

• perform a full body routine Mon/Wed/Fri
• do some conditioning work on Tues/Thurs
• eat enough protein
• drink enough water

Over time when a full body routine stagnates, you can switch to something with less frequency. I usually recommend an upper body / lower body rotation at that point.

I am basically using the templates from RPstrength (They now have a cool app). For 5 days it is:

• Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
• Back, Traps, Biceps, Forearm
• Quads, Glutes, Hams, Calves, Abs
• Shoulders, Chest, Back, Triceps, Biceps, Forearms
