    Shoulders and chest workout! same or different days?

    Im setting up a new training split routine.... Right now Im looking at a 3 day routine.... (or possibly 4) that is if I work shoulders on the same day as chest..... Just want to stay lean and add a little more muscle! during this time I am going to eat every 2 - 2 1/2 hours (30g carbs/30g protien) this is so I can cut cardio out and concentrate on building lean muscle....

    which workout looks better
    -------------------------
    Workout A
    **********
    day 1- chest,shoulders,Bi's,Abs
    day 2- Legs
    day 3- Back, tri's
    day 4- OFF
    <or>

    Workout B
    **********
    day 1-chest, Bi's, Abs
    day 2- Legs
    day 3- Back, Tri's
    day 4- Shoulders
    day 5- OFF

    Personally I wouldn't work 4 days in a row. Do like gopro suggests, 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off, repeat. But it's up to you man. I personally do chest and shoulders on mondays and it works out fine.
