Basic push/pull. Nothing wrong with that. For a 3 day I personally like:

chest/back
legs
shoulders/arms

if it works for you then it's good, for me i do
tues-legs
wed-chest/bi's
fri-shoulders
sun-back/tri's
this is currently working for me, and i like working opposite muscle groups because i feel like i can get the max effort out of them

i do what u do leg_press and its working great for me. just be careful not to overtrain arms... for example i only do 1 set of actual tris on chest/tri/shoulder day.

What do you all think of this, Id rather do a four day split, I have only a little time to work out each day

Mon: chest shoulders Traps and tri's

Tues: Lower back and abs ( I have a lower back problem so I need a good day of it )

Thur: Hams glutes and calves

Fri: Upper back lats and bi's and forearms

Thanks everyone. Good advice Premo but I was told that I needed two days of rest (ie: Sat, Sunday) plus the gym is only open from 10-4 sat and 10-2 sun

i like doing an upperbody workout the day after my leg workout because i usually run or do some cardio on my off days, hence i would be running if i had an off day right after legs, and i usually hit my legs really hard so i don't really have the umpf in them to do any good cardio so i throw in an upper body day the next day
