I'm (43M) just starting my gym routine and was wondering about some guidelines where to get informed about good workout schedules, in example which group of muscles to do on which day for optimal effect?

E: I'm 176 cm (5 foot 9) / 86 kg (190 lb) now. Want to reach 80 kg (175 lb).

I want to lose that belly and work on overall fitness/muscle

100% agree.

I like doing an A/B workout, where A is one full body workout, and B is another. Both are legs/push/pull, but just different exercises. Here's an example for someone just getting into lifting who wants to be fit:

A - Bulgarian Split Squat, DB Bench, DB 1-Arm Row

B - Kickstand Romanian Deadlift, DB Overhead Press, Pulldown (or Assisted Chinup)

3 sets of 8-12 reps each. Just alternate the two and lift 3x a week. The other two days can be LISS.
