    3 days on, 3 days off. I rest every other day, sometimes 2 days between workouts.

    I do: Lift/Rest/Lift/Rest/Lift/Lift/Rest Works well for me and the way each group is spread out I am never to sore to work another part several days later.

    I lift Monday, Wedesnday, Thursday, and Saturday. I do cardio two of the other three days of the week. One day is devoted to "rest."

    3 on - 1 off, 2 on - 1 off. 3 on - 1 off, 2 on - 1 off. Sometimes it may get interupted, or maybe a temporary mood change, but that's pretty much my split.
