That is ALL you need. Splits for you are stupid because you're a beginner and would benefit from higher volume on compound exercises.

Diet
- How many meals a day you eat doesnt matter.
- 1g protein/lb body weight.
- Lots of leafy vegetables
- Shakes and pre-workout drinks are not necessary. People who insist you need shakes to get your required protein are stupid. 800g of pork tenderloin yields you 181g of protein for only 1050 calories.
- Depending on the fruits you eat, they're not that great for you because of their caloric density. Bananas for example are packed full of sugar.

It's not rocket science.
I wish I can give you a million thanks for this. I always face-palm when people recommend the cookie-cutter BS bodybuilder splits that they pull out from Flex magazine for the newbies. When you're a newb, you're weak as shit and all your body parts suck. There is simply no reason for a newb to start doing stupid splits- work on total strength via heavy compound lifts first, then eat, eat, eat and EAT.
