No,, I.m.o I don’t think that you will loose to much size if you only train two times a week, this is still adequate time to train, you could do a split like this.

1Chest shoulder triceps
2 off
3off
4off
5 back legs bicep

Or you could try some thing more abbreviated..

Monday/Friday

Mon,
Squat
Stiff leg dead or covenantal deads
Pullup or prone row.

Friday
Bench / incline
Shoulder press

don’t be put of by the abbreviated split, it looks like its lacking in bicep and triceps work, but they will get good of stimulation during the workouts.

yea i would just do exercises like rows deadlifts squat bench incline shoulder press chins dips.....forget the little DB curls and all that just stick with core lifts

Agreed.. that’s my point exactly With the abbreviated routine, the problem is that ppl think if the don’t do all the accessory movements there not working out…
