I usually go 5 or 6 times a week and always incooperate
Quads calves glutes hamstrings
Chest back delts traps
Biceps triceps core and plyometrics or HIIT.
Anything helps and is appreciated

I wanted to start the Stronglifts again but I figured the every other day squats might be too much for me so I came up with my own semi-Stronglifts that goes something like this. I try to get into the gym on Mon/Tues and Thu/Fri. This gives me an extra days rest for the legs.
Monday/Thursday
Squats
Overhead Press
Deadlifts
Pull/Chin up usually with some dumbell curls in between
Leg Press
Lat Pulldowns
Tuesday/Friday
Barbell Rows
Bench Press
Smith Machine Barbell Rows
Seated Bench Press
Decline crunches
Leg Lifts
All the barbell routines start as 5x5 and as I work up to 5x7-8 I increase the weights. The Smith Machines I do drop sets. Each workout starts with a 10 minute warmup on a sort of elliptical machine that also goes side to side, with the focus on whichever bodypart I'm working that day and I also cool down on the same machine for about 10 minutes.

While I prefer to do full body work, at one point I did kind of a split I enjoyed that went something like:
-Glutes only
-Chest/shoulders/tris
-Quads/glutes
-Back/bis
-Hams/glutes

I prefer hitting full body in as few movements as needed. At the very most an upper/lower split.1
