[kaIeidoscope]

Am going to hit gym from today after a very long time. Should i do one body part per day or two ? I will be going to gym from monday to saturday. I will take rest on sundays.

Depends on ur goalz.

I am lean, but i have belly fat. I want to gain some mass and look ripped. At the same time shred those little belly fat. I need to know if i should do two parts per day like :

mon: chest/trice
tues:back/bice
wed: legs/shoulder
thur: cardio/forearms

or like how people in my gym does:

mon: back
tues: chest
wed: shoulder
thur: bice
fri: trice
sat: legs

Am pretty confused about this workout plans.

Read the stickies on workout program and nutrition info.

Get a proven beginner program such as allpros, Starting Strength, fierce 5, ice cream fitness and etc.

DO NOT design any split by urself if you don't have much knowledge on bodybuilding yet.

Just came back from gym .. did bicep/trice today .. tmrw i will take rest and day after tmrw am gonna do shoulder/legs.

you are squeezing legs with shoulders on a single day, yet dedicating a whole day to biceps and triceps? As a beginner you should be putting legs on its own and incorporate biceps with back day and triceps with your chest and shoulders day. That's just my opinion though

Each workout should revolve around three things: 1) squat, 2) bench/overhead press 3) Deadlift

It really depend on your goal! But here's my workout!

Mon- legs
Tue- shoulder & arms
Wed- back & core
Thur- legs
Fri- cardio (HIIT) & chest

Agree with above statements. It depends on not only your goals, but also how much time you have to spend on your training. If you don't have enough time during each session to not have to rush and risk improper form & possible injury, then I wouldn't incorporate 2 major bodyparts together. If you do have the time, then a back/bicep or chest/tri should be fine to start out with.

Just from this you can tell you're a beginner.

If you are going to do splits where you isolate body parts, you should do it from the largest muscle groups down to the smallest muscle groups.
The fact that you are doing arms (the smallest muscle groups), to the largest (legs), is really going to hamper your growth and recovery.
If you're planning on doing this way, then I would suggest you work from the biggest muscles to the smallest at the end of your cycle.

Honestly though, I would suggest the other workout programs in the stickies if you want mass. I'm doing Strong Lifts 5x5 right now and I think it's a pretty good program.
Compound movements better for strength/mass than isolation exercises.

This. There are enough different beginner routines out there that there's bound to be one that looks like it'll be really fun. And its pretty important for it to be fun when you're getting the hang of things. Wait to be your own personal drill sergeant until your technique is good and you've built up some endurance.
