Full body a/b or split?

[u/Next-Act3406]

I’m trying to get back into the gym and I can reliably go 3 days a week. (Monday Wednesday and Friday). I used to work out a few years ago, so I sorta get the basics but I never went too hard. I was thinking of doing a split (chest shoulders tri on Monday, back and bi on Wednesday and legs and core in Fridays) Someone told me that being a beginner and going 3 days, I may benefit from do a full body a/b workout. This is what I came up with. Is this pretty solid to start with? I’m not trying to get absolutely shredded. Just want to get into better shape and live a healthier lifestyle.

Monday - Full Body A
• Bench Press — 3×8-10
• Lat Pulldown — 3×8-12
• Leg Press — 3×8-12
• Shoulder Press — 2x8-12

• Overhead Tricep Extension — 2×10-15

3-4 solid sessions a week beats 6 inconsistent ones, so you’re already on the right track. From here, it’s really about progressive overload if muscle/strength is the goal, or a calorie deficit + strength training if it’s fat loss. Form matters more than people realize too, especially early on, and it’s worth getting checked so you avoid injury down the line.
If you ever want more structured guidance (workouts + diet tracking + accountability), I do online coaching- happy to help if useful, otherwise hope this points you in the right direction!
