I'm sure it's been discussed at one point in time in one of the fitness threads, but IDGAF.

I've got three basic days and do two days on, 1 day off.

Back, biceps, traps
Chest, triceps, shoulders
Quads, calves, hamstrings

What do you guys do?

If i only had three days to workout I would probably opt for 3 day full body split

I used to always do chest/biceps together and back/triceps together

When you're lifting heavy and/or to exhaustion, let's say, on chest, then you've somewhat fatigued you're triceps and probably won't get as good of a workout on them the same day as chest. Same goes for back/triceps

I alternate 2 workouts, but do 3 days a week.

A)chest, shoulders, tris, upper back, lower back
B)Bis, forearms, calves, hamstrings, quads

I throw ab work into B days.

I don't do much for them, usually just one quick exercise at the end and rotate between a few. I swim on 2 of the off days and that probably hits them harder really.

Legs
Back and Biceps
Chest and Triceps
Shoulders and core
Legs (different exercises from first leg workout)
Two days off

Run at night at least twice a week. Might swim laps if running becomes boring.

well you could do something that works... try starting with greyskull lp, starting strength or stronglifts.

1-2 hour workouts
Monday- Chest Day
Tuesday- Back Day
Wednesday- Leg Day
Thursday- Shoulders
Friday- Arms
Saturday- Boxing

That's what I'm doing now

Sometimes I'll switch it up and do:
Monday- Chest/Tris
Tuesday- Back/Bis
Wednesday- Legs
Thursday- Shoulders
Friday- Boxing

Rest on weekends. I make sure I get 2600 calories a day with at least 180 grams of protein (I'm 6'5 230).

I'm almost at 3 months on this DC program and I'm definitely getting stronger, but I starting to feel like I wasn't ready for it. I may continue it through another month or 2 and switch to a greyskull plan for a year or so and see what happens. I should've read more before jumping in.
