More shoulder work in upper split. I would rotate one day starting with shoulders & the other with chest first. Don't see why would include it in lower when doing all upper other day. Can add some isolation things for upper on lower if feel need & can handle it

I just felt that shoulders would be better if done with lower day because my shoulders/tri's would be a little too fatigued to do it with the upper day, so I feel during the next day I could hit them much harder. Plus if I had shoulders during the upper day my workout would be waaay too long and the lower workout would be so quick. I just felt that throwing in shoulders during lower day balances things out. I mean technically it's not a true upper/lower split but I feel like it would work just the same.

Do abs every training session. This is a very demanding routine that will pack on slabs of muscle if your diet is on point.
