What to do...what to do

[JOKER47]

A good split. But I'm mixing mine up for two reasons: it was time for a change after three months of chest/shoulders/tris, back/bis, legs, and second, I wanted to add a fourth day and start doing some cardio after my workout.

So here's what I'm thinking now:

1 - Back/bis
2 - off
3 - chest/tris
4 - off
5 - shoulders/neck
6 - legs
7 - off

I obviously should have thought this out more clearly before I started, but I think this should work ok. I've got some good rest time in there and no redundant muscle groups.

That looks good. I like the idea of no more than one day off ever.

Do you think your shoulders will be recuperated sufficiently from day 3 to day 5? I am not questioning the split, just asking. You know your body better than the rest of us.

Yessir. I think 48 hours is plenty of recupe for any upper body group, especially if you're not really gonna be hitting them directly again for an entire week.

I may try that after my surgery, or was think about the Old School Routine....not sure wht to attempt yet.

gt, how come you went back to the push pull thing again?

Simply for change's sake. I don't believe that one split is inherently better than another in terms of excercise order as long as you hit everything at least once a week.

In other words, I don't see chest/tris being any more effective than chest/bis on the same day. The important thing is to mix it up after 10 or 12 weeks.
