Life is getting busier with work, school, and family, so I’m trying to simplify my training.

I came from a 5 day bro split with cardio after every workout, which I loved. I recently switched to a minimalist full body routine so I can lift 3 days a week and do cardio on my off days.

Full Body A
Pull-ups
Dips
Squats
OHP
Biceps/Triceps superset

Full Body B
Bench
Barbell Rows
RDLs
Lateral Raises
Biceps/Triceps superset

I’m 6’3”, 169 lbs, and my goal isn’t to be huge
just build an aesthetic physique. Assuming I’m in a calorie surplus and progressively overloading, is this enough to build muscle, or is it more of a maintenance routine? Most people I lift with say full body is mid for muscle growth, so I’d like to hear some opinions.

I attached the photos so you guys can get a reference on what I would be trying to build on.

I’m a 26M, 6’3”, 167 lbs. My goal is to build a more aesthetic physique while keeping my workouts to around 45-60 minutes (due to work, school, and my personal life)

I do 3 sets per exercise, so each major muscle group gets roughly 9 hard sets per week, with all working sets taken close to failure. I also run 2-3 times per week for general fitness.

Full Body A
Pull-ups
Bench Press
Squats
Lateral Raises
Tricep Extensions
Full Body B
DB Incline Bench
Barbell Rows
Romanian Deadlifts
DB Overhead Press
Bicep Curls
Full Body C
Chin-ups
Dips
Leg Press
Shoulder Press Machine
Alternate weekly between Bicep Curls and Tricep Extensions

Routine seems like it should work, I just worry about only getting 9 weekly sets in per muscle. Would I be better off taking out the isolation arm work and adding another chest lift on FB A, a back lift on FB B, and a shoulder lift FB C. That would be 12 sets chest, back, and shoulder per week and 9 sets legs per week.

Lately life has gotten a lot busier with work, school, and personal obligations. For years I’ve done a traditional 5-day bro split with cardio mixed throughout the week, but now I’m limited to about 45 minutes to an hour per workout.

I’m trying to decide between sticking with a bro split or switching to a 3-day full-body routine.

With the bro split, I’d do one muscle group per week with about 9 hard sets in that workout. Cardio after those sessions on Monday Wednesday and Friday.

With the full-body routine, I’d train each muscle three times per week with 3 sets each workout, still totaling 9 sets per muscle per week. With cardio separated on its own days Tuesday Thursday and potentially Saturday.

So the weekly volume would be identical the only real difference is whether all 9 sets are done in one session with cardio either on the same days i lift or separated.

Before anyone says anything about me having no shirt on, this is my Apartment Gym without a soul ever here. The A/C has been messed up and the leasing staff have no problem with it. If someone was here I would not take my shirt off.
