    Should I change my routine?

    Okay, newbie lifter here, 19 years old (not 48) been training for 6 months on the following bro split routine:

    Mon: chest/tris
    tuesday:legs
    wednesday: off
    thursday:shoulders
    friday: back/bis

    I went from 165 to 185 pounds (bulked first 3 months,went well, now attempting recomp) and currently my max numbers have increased from

    BENCH: 135 to 195
    SQUAT: 185 to 275
    DEADLIFT: 185 to 295
    OHP: 95 to 135

    With macros of around

    2300 cals/day
    190g protein
    270g carbs
    70g fat
    80g sugar


    I have looked into routines like alpha destiny's novice program, starting strength, and stronglifts 5x5, however I don't like how little focus there are on arms, and I am a bit turned off by working out 3 times a week. Working out 5 times a week has done wonders to my confidence and mental health, it's something I look forward to doing everyday. But if the bro split is that bad when it comes to progress and growth due to the lack of rest days, I am willing to make the change if it means that I will lift and grow substantially more than my current routine. If anyone has any routines to recommend I would greatly appreciate it.
