RE: How do you split (Bodybuilding)?
if your a bit on the heavier side ( high body fat), i would add more cardio to your routiine. But its always great to emulate someone you admire. For beggining body-builders, you don't need to worry alot about splits since yoru body is going to adapt because its not used to the new level of stress. I am an athlete and perform compound lifts every other day excluding weekends. Just as long as your not working same muscle groups same workout when you use your compund lift you should be fine. For example, squats and deadlift on the same day with heavy weight is gonna be a killer on your legs. But other than that you have solid exercises and don't need to overcomplicate things.

P.s if you want to workout like a bodybuilder 5 reps is not enough, generally that rep range is for strength but it is necessary to build up strength before pursuing hypertrophy.

sample: Upper/ Lower Split (alt. heavy squat and heavy deadlift daay)
