Getting in there later this time of year so trying to break it up more to be able to get a body part in and cardio.

Mon-Back, cardio, abs
Tues-chest, cardio
Wed- legs, abs
Thursday- Tris, cardio
Friday- shoulders, cardio, abs
Sat- bis, cardio


Don't know if I should combine one of those and build in a day off.

I was always under the impression that you should work complimentary muscles on the same day (ex. bis and tris, chest and back). I'm no fitness guru and I'm definitely not in shape, but that's what I do.

Back
Chest
Legs
Arms/Shoulders
Rest
Repeat

I like having an arms day, curls are fun.

Best I have found is hit every major muscle group twice a week.

Mon: Chest, tricepts, shoulders.
Wed: Legs
Friday: Back and bicepts
Tues,Thurs, Sat: Cardio and Abs.

This way you work all complementary muscles together and give each group one week to recover. This is the main reason most average people don't see big improvements in size and strength, they are over-training and end up doing more breaking down than building up.

By average, i'm referring to those of us that are not taking chemical enhancements.

I've been trying th Ice Cream Fitness 3x5 for cutting. So far so good...it's the only workout I've found that allows me to hit everything on a 3 day split.

Day 1 chest/tri
Day 2 back/bi
Day 3 legs
Day 4 shoulders


I don't assign days of the week to workouts because if I miss a day I just do that part the next day I workout
