Workout routine; Would training one muscle group per day be beneficial?

Working a muscle group only one day a week would slow down your progress.

I would definitely stick with a full body on-off routine. If you every workout has something like squats, deadlifts, overhead press, pullups, and dips, you really can't go wrong.

Split routines aren't a good idea for beginners - I've been working out for years and I still do a full body routine 3x a week, it's much better for strength development and much more efficient in general.

You want to hit each group every 48-72 hrs for optimal growth. Full body, 2-day, and 3-day splits all work. Full body is optimal for beginners due to increased frequency for each muscle group, but can be harder to recover from as you advance.

either go with a program. like 5x5 stronglifts or do it like this: day1-chest/triceps, day2-back/biceps, day3-legs/shoulders. one muscle group per day is a waste imho.

Looks like garbage. Just stick to an established program written by men with far more experience in programming than you.

6 months of doing the same thing will stagnant your progress. If you've been doing body split workouts for months, switching to single muscle workouts per day will benefit you.

Legs and calves are considered 1 group

Chest is considered a group

shoulders and traps is considered a group

back is considered a group

biceps, traps, and forearms is considered another group.

You can do abs with chest or back or whenever.

This would be a different training style than what your body is used to and you will see more gains.

After 6-12 weeks of this, you can train back to more split body workouts like,

chest and back, shoulders and legs, arms and abs.
