Reply With QuoteI have a few suggestions for the routine. One, if you want to do a 3 day split, then there is no reason you should be weight training two days in a row. Get a rest day in between days 1 and 2. Two, I think day 1 is a little too much in one session. In fact, I used to dedicate a day to my back.
There are two very tried and true 3 day split that I have seen put to use:
Push, Pull, Legs: Chest, shoulders & triceps on one day, back & biceps on another, and legs on the third day.
The antagonistic split: Chest & biceps together, back & triceps together, and legs & shoulders together.
These aren't your only choices for an alternative split, but just some commonly used ones.

Work-out schedule
Ok, so I have been weight training off and on for a few years and now I have decided to get really serious about it. Basically I'm just looking for some answers to a few questions I have had for a awhile, mostly surrounding my training schedule.
Currently my workout schedule looks, more or less, like this:
Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Back
Day 2: Lower Body (Legs, glutes)
Day 3: Cardio
Day 4: Arms (Tri's and Bi's)
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Cardio
Day 7: Rest
Now, I'm curious to know if I should break up the Chest, Shoulder, Back day and add another day of weight training. I would also like to know if I should be working the Tri's on the same day I work my chest seeing as the tri's are worked during the chest exercises anyways. Any tips on these issues or other problems that might arise from this schedule would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
