i'd suggest that u better do what foreman told u wich is push / pull / legs or upper/lower... but if you like to deal with body parts
do this chest+front delts+triceps/back+reardelts+biceps+traps/legs
or u could do
chest+back/legs/shoulders+arms
chest+quads/back+hams/shoulders+arms
or chest/back/legs/shoulder+arms
or chest+shoulders/legs/back+arms
and also u'll benefit a lot from reading the stickies in the training forum.. there they are....

I think its safe to say that body part routines arent particularly good compared to other protocols.
But yeah, like assassin said...read the stickies.
