Hello there, I'm having trouble deciding which is better for building muscle.

Split 1:
Mon - REST
Tue - Back Biceps
Wed - Chest Shoulders Triceps
Thu - REST
Fri - Legs
Sat - Back Biceps
Sun - Chest Shoulders Triceps

or

Split 2:
Mon - REST
Tue - Back Bis
Wed - Chest Tris
Thu - REST
Fri - Legs
Sat - Shoulders & Arms
Sun - REST

I would appreciate some help and info, thank you!

    As psuLemon told you in the other thread, neither of them are optimal for building muscle for a beginning/intermediate lifter. You'd do far better to go to the thread he linked you to and choose an established beginner program which has you working each muscle group 2-3 times per week. What you are doing is referred to as a "bro split" and is generally only optimal for advanced lifters, for various reasons.
