After looking around the forum I found that these workout routine appeals to me the most. What do you think guys, which is better for a beginner?

About reps, should I go 10-12 to build some muscle stamina for future higher weight lifting?

Routine 1

Chest/Tri/fore Arms
Back/Bi
(Rest Day)
Legs/Calves/Abs
Shoulder/Shrugs
(Rest Day)
(Rest Day)

Routine 2

Chest/Tri
(Rest Day)
Back/Bicep
(Rest day)
Legs/Calves
Shoulder/Abs
(Rest Day)

Abs will mostly be on a Day ON, Day OFF basis + 20mins cardio after workout days.

Please feel free to make any changes you see fit. Thanks

For a beginner i would do a fullbody split to be honest. It doesnt focus on one area too much so that lowers the chance of injury somewhat, and its a great way to work on complete conditioning which is the most important thing for a newbie.

Bodypart splits in general i wouldnt reccomend to anybody. They're not based in reality, the body works far more efficiently in terms of movements rather than bodyparts.

As for the rep range, anything 12 and above is usually good for a beginner. The main thing in the early stages is learning proper motor patterns and conditioning. Cardio frequency sounds fine also as long as you stick to a 3 day a week program. Personally i usually like to keep as many rest days as i have workout days.

I've done the warm-up part to avoid any injuries and I also warm-up properly for 5-10 mins prior every workout. I do 12 rep of low weights just to acquire the right skill of lifting (heaver weight will come along later). I dunno, but I think that I'm ready to start out a routine. I'm looking for fast results as possible and I don't want to waste time moving slowly, if I can go faster but by doing the right thing of course.

I plan to lower the rep over time to 8rep per set, I also mostly try to use free weights as possible.

I'm still trying to figure out the best routine for me and I shall keep searching untill I pick one for myself. Your feed back is alwayes valuable, thanks.
