    My cutting split...critique please!

    Okay, so here's my bastardised P/RR/S plan, please critique. HELP!

    Monday- Rest
    Tuesday- Chest
    Wednesday- Legs
    Thursday- Rest
    Friday- Shoulders
    Saturday- Rest
    Sunday- Back

    Chest (Power)
    4x6 flat dumb-bell press
    4x6 incline dumb-bell press
    4x6 decline dumb-bell press
    2x5 flat flyes

    Chest (rep range)
    6-8 x 3 flat DB press
    6-8 x 3 incline DB press
    6-8 x 3 decline dumb-bell press
    8 x 3 cable crossover

    Chest (shock)
    6x3 flat DB press Superset flat flyes
    6x3 incline DB press superset incline flyes
    6x3 decline DB press superset decline flyes
    1xdropset cable crossover

    I actually only use one back workout
    3x wide-grip pull up to failure
    3x medium-grip pull up to failure
    5x pronated chin up to failure
    5x5 deadlift
    6x3 overhand bent-over barbell row ALTERNATE 6x3 t-bar row

    I'm thinking of adding wide-grip pulldowns to that workout, but it seems like I might be throwing too much volume in there.

    Legs (POWER)
    4x8 squats (+2 warmups)
    4x5 front squats
    5x4 snatch grip deadlift
    6x3 leg press
    6x3 lying leg curl

    Legs (REP RANGE)
    8x5 squats
    8x3 front squats
    7x3 snatch grip deadlift
    8x2 step-ups
    8x2 lying leg curl

    I don't actually do shock for legs.

    Delts (POWER)
    5x5 hanging power clean and jerk
    4x6 seated DB overhead press
    6x3 leaning one-armed lateral
    6x3 front delt plate raise

    Delts (Rep range and shock amalgamation)
    6x4 push press OR 7x3 power clean and jerk
    8x3 seated DB overhead press
    8x3 leaning one-armed lateral SUPERSET 8x3 front delt raise

    To the Delt workout I add a trap workout that is pretty much the same week in week out, my traps only seem to react to higher rep training:
    8x3 overhead barbell shrug
    6x3 heavy barbell shrug SUPERSET 12x3 shrug in calf machine

    Every now and then I'll have a direct arm workout that will involve:
    6x3 close-grip bench press
    5x5 weighted dips
    1x dropset skullcrushers
    6x3 Gironda curl
    6x2 Zottman curl
    6x3 Incline curl
    1x dropset machine preacher curl

    Peace.

    Why do you think that you need to have a cutting split ?
    IMO cutting splits are not necessary but ..

    why don't you hit the arms directly with isolation exercises? you should add in an arm day and work your biceps and triceps.
