How many times per week should I train?
How should my training slpit look like?
Should I relly on full body workouts or should I do some kind of split?
If you have any of the above questions, then this article is for you!
So lets start, the training frequency is a very debated topic, we have lots of different opinions so it is really hard to make your own mind about this topic, but the general idea is that you should workout 3-5 times a week for maximum musclular hypertrophy and strenght gains. Reason is that training for more than 5 times might lead you to overtrain and eventualy stagnate or even lose muscle/strenght, and working out less than 3 times per week will lead you to not develop at your maximum rate.
The best training split is very dependant on your weightlifting level and goals. If you are a newbie the worst mystake you can make is to follow a experienced weightlifter's plan, not only the plan will be for someone more advanced than you but the goals might also be different, imagine if his tricep is not as developed as he wants compared to the rest of his body and his training enfasis his tricep, if you follow it you will end up over developing your triceps compared to the rest of the body.
For a begginer you should follow a full body routine, reason is that you wont be advanced enough to really fatigue your nervous system, due to low weight training, so if you follow a full body routine you will be training each body part 2-3 times a week and still having enough rest, this will give you the best results in the least ammount of time. Eventually when your gains start to decrease you might want to evolve your training into something else, I suggest a upper/lower split, and eventually when that too starts to give you less gains you should go into a more complex split.
Note: Remeber that your main goal in your training is progressing your lifts as much as possible, while still maintaining good form. You should be increasing reps/weight every single workout, specially as a newbie, as you are new to weightlifting and your body isn't accostomed to it, so you will progress much faster.
