Need advice

[TNBT]

I'm looking at getting back into working out seriously again and I wanted to get a bit of advice. I've received good advice on this forum before so I figured I'd try here again. Years ago when I was working out seriously, I was doing a half hour each day on the bike, and weight training 6 day a week. For the weight training, I was following an article I had read about breaking up the body into 6 different sections (eg. biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, etc) and working 2 sections per day. That meant that I covered all 6 sections in 3 days, and I then repeated the program again over the next 3 days. I got pretty good results with that program and I'm looking at continuing it again, but I'm struggling with putting the program together. I can't remember how I paired up body sections last time, so I'm not sure which way to go now.

Basically I'm wondering if I should combine related body sections on the same day (eg. biceps and triceps on the same day) or if I should mix it up and do two separate areas on the same day (eg. biceps and legs).

What do you guys think?

If you are getting back into it off a long lay off, i would suggest a full body work out 3 times a week for 6-8 weeks then look at splitting up the body part.

Pretty common body splits are;

Legs
Push - chest/tris/shoulders
Pull - back/bis/traps

Or you can do;
Legs
Chest/biceps
Back/tris/shoulders

Legs
Chest/back
Bis/Tris/Shoulders

A good compound-movement based workout will be perfect for you as you'll be in newbie gains phase to start with. Full body workouts to start with will be fine, it's more about getting into a habit to start with.

Are you after muscle gains predominantly or weight loss? And how old are you
