Need Training Split Advice

I have been out of the gym for almost two weeks now, for the reasons why see my journal in the journal forum. But, next week is my first week back, and I would like some input on a new split. Here are the facts....I want to do some sort of exercise M-S. M,W,F lifting days and T,Th,S cardio days. I have about an hour in the gym and this includes any warm up and/or stretching. The parts I want to work once a week are biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, chest, and legs. How does this sound?

M: back, triceps
T: cardio, abs
W: legs, shoulders
Th: cardio, abs
F: chest, biceps
S: cardio, abs

And if this post sounds familiar to some of you, it is! I probably posted a very similar question several months ago. What can I say?

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can provide!

I think your split looks just fine. I personally like to dedicate an entire workout to legs because it really is half your body, but if legs are not really a problem for you than you are ok as is!

When you train your chest and shoulders - your triceps are also worked ! With this in mind - and looking at your proposed training routine - you would be working your triceps 3 times a week !

I would recommend that you simply move your triceps and biceps around i.e :-

With Ians workout suggestion your bicep and tricep workout should be quick. They'll already be fatigued so fewer set would be required to toast'em. Might be able to get out of the gym a bit quicker.

Exactly the way I think

The triceps is usually a problem area for women. Training that bodypart more often will usually be of benefit to them. Most of her shoulder training should involve lateral work anyway, not presses, so she will never really overtrain her tris.
