Best gym schedule?

Im no trainer but I have spent some time in gyms and have friends that are super into it. Every other day is a good routine if you are hitting all the muscle groups every workout. If you are going everyday, just focus on a specific part of the body for that day.

Monday- chest and shoulders
Tuesday- arms and back
Wednesday- legs
Thursday- chest and shoulders
Friday- arms and back
Saturday- legs
Sunday- rest

Cardio is a good one too, if you can, include a short interval(5 min) before workouts to get your heart rate up and then hit the weights. Sleep/rest is a huge factor too, get your rest. Also, intake a good source of protein within 30 mins after your workout if you're trying to gain/bulk up(this is when the body needs protein). Just my 2 cents again but good luck.

If your primary focus is hypertrophy and you're still a beginner (this is an awesome thing to be), meaning you're able to get improvements in primary lifts every week that are very linear, then stick with every other day, like a Mon-Wed-Fri split.

If you've hit your first plateau, I'd switch to a push-pull-leg split with a day off following every leg day. This is a typical intermediate lifter split and works great when you start working in periodization (progressive weekly increases in intensity followed by a deload).

This isn't the only approach but the one I like most.

Mike Israetel (has PhD in Sports Physiology) from Renaissance Periodization has been my favorite discovery during the pandemic. Here is a youtube playlist that has summary level lifting principles:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Yzg5K5EPE&list=PLyqKj7LwU2RukxJbBHi9BtEuYYKm9UqQQ&index=12. It should link with the video most relevant to your question. I'd say watch them all.
