Hi Autumn- Thanks for the question! Typical body part split routines are really designed to help bring up lagging parts or for more advanced bodybuilding lifters. If you are new to strength training, you want to focus mostly on whole body compound movements to build up overall strength. Honestly, women don't need to do chest routines or arms routines unless they specifically compete as bodybuilders, or figure or physique competitors-- some type of sport that requires muscular development and overall body symmetry.
