    I think Push / Pull / Legs is a good option for you . one workout you do all your pushing exercises and add in triceps and delts, next workout is all your pulling exercises, back, rear delts and add in biceps , next workout is legs. then repeat

    if you like to do a more 'bro split' and workout one to two body parts per week, but your time is very short in the gym, 50 mins or less. Then HIT may be an option

    if you respond well to more high frequency training, then a modified full body routine may be an option. workout one you work the whole front side of your body (chest, front delts, biceps, abs, quads) , then the next workout you do the whole backside of your body (traps, back, lats, rear delts, triceps, hamstrings, calves). you just repeat this back and fourth every workout (you can change up the exercises some each session). if your able to get in 4 workouts per week then you worked each body part at least twice . if you got busy and only made it to the gym twice that week, well guess what you still hit every body part and did not neglect one (whereas with other splits you would have neglected a body part or two)

    ^ this works great for people with busy schedules who are prone to missing workouts during the week . I've implemented it with a lot of clients with success and they are able to ADHERE to the program . ADHERENCE is the key to success

    Hey brotha yeah I like the idea of hitting front side in one session and then hitting backside in another. What do you think the benefits would be of doing that vs just hitting upper body in one shot and doing it short and intense 15 sets per muscle group with super sets (ie. machine curls and wide grip pull ups super sets or flat bench with cable rows superset) very little rest between sets and for strong areas only doing 6-8 sets??.. That's what Ive been doing and it feels pretty efficient but I honestly don't know if it's optimal. Approaching it like that also has the added bonus of letting me apply the priority principle by default bc there isnt enough time to hit everything equally.
