Training each muscle group 2x a week?

You are overthinking this. If you have four days to visit the gym, pick a program that has four days of workouts. nSuns, gzclp, PHUL, etc....

PS - Didn't your doc tell you to lay off TRP for a bit?

The quality of the muscular contraction is more important than the routine.

Your diet is more important than the routine.

Necessary for what? Gaining muscle? Maintaining your current weight? Pretty much for the first, no for the 2nd. From my personal experience of lifting for about a year.

Yes, if natural. - Push/pull/legs x2 - upper/ lower x2 - full body x3

It's not necessary, but "2x group per week" is the most optimal way to gain more muscle. There is a catch, if you don't eat and sleep enough then 2x week actually hurts you. It's the most effective training method, but you have to build everything around it.

Just do the bulking routine by lyle mcdonald. Its the 2xupper body 2x lower body. Remember, volume is the biggest factor in musclegrowth, not frequency. The more weight your muscles moves, the more gains you will see. Rather have 3 high volume days than 4 low volume

Lmao I've done full body 3x a week for two years and only now am I doing upper/lower twice a week.

I only lift 3x a week, full body heavy compound workouts. Been doing this for 4 years now

2x per week will ensure optimal muscle growth but like someone else stated, adequate sleep is paramount.
