Because each muscle group needs to be worked at least twice per week for muscle growth, split workouts work best when you are training at least 3-4 times a week. If you can only commit 2-3 times a week, full body workouts are best. Classic muscle building splits are:  Push/Pull/Legs (6-day split) Chest & Back/Legs/Shoulders & Arms (3-1-3 split)

According to a 2016 research review, strength training at least 2 days a week is ideal to grow your muscles. So start with 2 or 3 days of full-body weight training, 2 days of cardio, and 2 days of rest. As you get stronger, you can add a fourth weight day and try splitting the days between upper- and lower-body workouts.

To create our full-body routine, each workout will make sure it has a big compound leg exercise, push exercise, pull exercise, and a core exercise: Leg Exercises (Quad Dominant or Hip Dominant): Squats, Deadlifts, or Lunges Push Exercises: Bench Press, Overhead Press, or Dips Pull Exercises: Inverted Rows, Pull-Ups, or Chin Ups
