I'm getting on a full-body split next year to increase size and strength and get a good base then after i have achieved that i will proceed to do a body-part split.

I would work muscles that are physically close to one another. I.e., back/chest, bis/tris, shoulders/traps. You'll get a better pump.

You do this for the same reason you don't superset Bicep curls with a calf raise. You're forcing blood into your biceps then elsewhere in the body. Keep your target muscles isolated when you workout. Better pump, better results for a serious lifter.

Your current split is fine, but you haven't been lifting for years and one argument is that if you only workout each bodypart 1 time a week as a novice lifter you could be underworking the muscle, as it recovers fast enough for you to work it out more than that.

I started lifting when i was like 11 ( bad I know) And I did a full body split for 3 years
but I decided to do body part split which has worked better but I was concerned about only working that one body part once a wek

well it depends on the focus of what your goals are and how you are responding to the training. I have had decent results with 5 day splits, i prefer a half and half as i like to call it. By that i mean train upper body; chest, shoulders, arms, etc. then legs, then upper body again on a monday wensday friday rotation. Its a good way to kill it in training and give your body enough extra time to add on some weight. The best way to know what to do is to experiment, no one can tell you which one your body will respond to better so its up to you to try both if you would like to know.

I am going on my first ever full body workout. Idk if I will continue after my Christmas break or not, we will see. All I know is that I don't feel overly exhausted like some people talked about. I feel I did work out, but not overtrain (plus this is the best time of the year to bulk lol).

Id say use a full body routing (like Ripptoes SS) until you are 16, then switch to a split.

[VanKid]

Yoo if u wanna get strong and big u do compounds. So full body split is the way to go. Bench/squat/dead and stuff. SS is a good example of wat I mean

Disregard splits.

I started doing these splits and the results are amazing compared to what i used to. Now that my lifts are getting up to where they've never been I have to start doing chest on a different day and back on a different day if i really want to destroy them. but then i'll do a legs day, arms day, and then shoulders. rinse and repeat...

I gained a solid 20lbs in the last 4-6 months with this split but i'm sure most of it is because i've increased my calorie intake significantly.

From personal experience if you've fuxed with chest/tri splits for a while like I did , go to a chest/back split and see how you feel., However, you will NOT get bigger unless you eat eat eat eat eat eat eat
