Currently making a workout routine. I'm curious about which muscle groups should be worked out together for the most beneficial result?

Any advice is appreciated.

    It really doesn't matter as long as you aren't working the same groups on consecutive days
    Upper body/lower body/upper body/lower body splits 4days a week are very manageable

    Since any advice is needed, if you don't know which groups to workout together, it is likely you should not be making your own program. I would suggest that you get a program that someone has designed. I would personally suggest something like Stronglifts 5x5 for beginners. Its focus is on big compound lifts which will establish a solid base to work from.

    Also, yes it matters which groups you work together since for example, when you work your back muscles, your biceps will be involved as well. Thus if you do back one day and biceps the next you would be working biceps twice in successive days.

    Dude, if you have to come to a forum to ask this question, you shouldn't be putting together your own program...

    Follow a tried-and-true beginners program: Starting Strength, Stronglifts 5x5, NROL, All Pro's SBR or Greyskull LP are all valid beginner's choices.

    We always grouped things together by pushes or pulls.
