You want to start your routine and build it around the basics: Pull-up, HSPU, Push-ups, & Dips. I prefer to do a PPL split but that's all up to you. When I was trying to lose weight, I had to experiment with multiple different routines to find which one is the best for me and the same thing happened as I am trying to build muscle but I have settled now but IMO, I think that everything needs a bit of trial and error. And making one mistake isn't the end of the world. You can also take the last week of every month off just to reset but you need to find a routine that is sustainable enough so that you don't just flop after you're done, but rather keep the routine and keep improving yourself. If you don't see progress after a month, don't panic. You have to incorporate a calorie surplus in your diet and need enough protein but it will take some time to see progress.

@Georgeline Parker I'm not a coach but I have loads of experience, so I guess that gives me the upper hand

Split/routine
Soooo I think I just qualified from beginner to intermediate I can now do 10-11 pull ups with good form, 30 push ups and 15 dips. Before my workouts would have looked like this: • Push: 100 push ups as fast as possible. I got it down to 18:25 with the elbow being 90° and 26:15 with chest to floor. • Pull: Max pull ups for five sets three minutes rest and also to focus on bettering form. • Legs/run: work on pistol squats some calve raises and Nordic curls just simple leg exercises or simply going for a run I did what I felt like. But now I’ve reached what I saw someone said was enough to reach intermediate. Does anyone have some tips for a new routine or should I just stick with the old one? Thanks. Btw do you need any more pull exercises than the pull up/pull up variations to target all your pull muscles?

Of course. This ensures progressive overload and builds muscle.
