How have you been training so far in terms of split, sets, reps and progressive overload...
I would recommend different things to beginners depending on their goals and mindset, number of days they have / want to training, lifestyle otherwise, etc.

I have been training very high frequency (each bodypart 4-6x/week) similar to what is outlined here by Borge Fagerli: https://www.elitefts.com/education/train...w-science/
Each session is fairly low volume for each bodypart though and I undulate reps over a heavy, medium, and light (myoreps).
My weekly volume for the major muscle groups is ~10-15 sets across the week.
I always strive for progressive overload in some way. In the past, the main issue was that I would hit a good stride and then have gut issues that would derail me. I am very confident now though that I have this under control.
So, I feel I am somewhat unique in that lifting is a not a novel stimulus for me, but I also am very weak relative to my potential due to being very underweight (~145lbs at 6'3).
I also have very high work capacity. I see very little dropoff in performance with several sets of the same exercise - even when I push the intensity.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I appreciate your help!
