Just to add to Clint's advice, if you do a push/pull split I've found the quality of each exercise will reduce a lot over the course of the workout as the muscles get more tired (this happens anyway due to general energy and hormone levels depleting, but the effect is amplified). Therefore, be sure to rotate the order of the exercises reguarly so they are all getting a quality workout every week or two.
Personally, I do a whole body workout twice a week only hitting each muscle hard once per workout if possible, twice maximum. For me, this results in better gains and less DOMS (soreness) during training.
