5-day split vs Upper/Lower Split

[askaz014]

Hey guys,

Im a novice to lifting, Ive done 6 weeks of full body workouts and now changed my routine to look like this:

Monday: Chest - Chest press (8-10x4), Incline press (8-10x4), Fly (8-10x4)

Tuesday: Back - Hyperextension (8-10x4), Lat pull down (8-10x4), seated row (8-10x4)

Wednesday: Shoulders - Shoulder press (8-10x4) Standing row (8-10x4) and lateral raise (8-10 x 3 each side)

Thursday: Legs - Leg press (8-10x3), Leg extension (8-10x4), Hamstring curl(8-10x3 each leg), Calf press (8-10x3) and ill swap the leg press for squats every 3 weeks

Friday: Arms - Bicep curl (8-10x4), Tricep pull down (8-10x4), Tricep extension (8-10x4)

Abs on Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Weighted crunch (10x4), Weighted oblique crunch (10x4 each side) and 3x2min Prone bridge.

But Ive been reading online that an upper/lower split is better for novice lifters? Such as Lyle McDonalds Bulking Routine.

Can anyone shed some light on this please!

Cheers!
