You don’t know yet what are your weak and strong points, just train every major muscle group and after 1-3 years you can see your weak points and choose what muscle to prioritize from there.
Your limitation as a beginner isn’t specific muscle groups or muscle imbalance since you don’t have any muscle to begin with.
Now I’m not saying as a beginner you CANT prioritize any muscle group, if you really feel like you want to prioritize some muscle group then you can do it but don’t let it affect your workout that much, just put it first in your workout and that’s it. But you need to realize that as a beginner you will respond to any stimulus. When you start lifting as a beginner your body is extremely responsive to training, so you need to do mostly compound exercises and less single joint (isolations), and you will grow everything at once.
Here Inb4 someone says muh water, it’s not. I see a lot of beginners lifters here that ask what they should work on more
