    I don't think there is one?

    The schedule is the one you can sustain, including recovery, and that will influence the sort of split you choose.

    e.g. if you can workout three times, you might do full body each time. If you can do four times, maybe alternate upper/lower. If six times, maybe PPL, etc. Or you might choose a specific program like Starting Strength.

    Consider using a formal program from a reasonable expert source.

    Some people will quibble with some of these, but unless you can get a program from a very well credentialed personal trainer, consider one of these, since you're talking about building muscle primarily:

    Cardiovascular fitness is also important for health. Some cardiovascular exercise have a limited potential for some strength improvement, but they're more about a healthy heart, lungs, blood vessels, etc.
