Need Help With My Split!!!

[Wally21]

Hey everyone... I need some more help here. I recently changed to a 4 day split, so far it's been working great the only problem is I'm still in the gym too long. By too long I mean over an hour sometimes an hour and 1/2. And from what I've heard its not a good idea to work out for more than an hour. Is this true? Here's my current split.

Monday
Chest/Back

Tuesday
Tri's/Bi's

Wednesday
Shoulders/Abs/Forearms

Thursday
Legs

Monday's are my longest days, so are there any suggestions on how I could mix this up so I'm not doing 2 big muscle groups in one day like chest/back. Thanks

If it's taking you an hour and a half, then you are probably doing too many sets.

As far as separating chest and back goes, this is my current split:

Sun - Triceps, Biceps, Abs
Mon - Quads, Hams
Wed - Chest, Shoulders, Calves
Fri - Back, Traps

There are a few problems with your spilt ...

1. Arms the day after chest/back. I honestly don't think you can give your arms a full w/o since they would be fatigued from the chest and back work.

2. 4 days in a row is asking a lot. I like to do 2 days in a row, then a rest day then the next 2.


Now onto possible ideas.

Mon - Shoulders
Tues - Back & Biceps
Wed - REST
Thur - Chest & Triceps
Friday - Legs + Forearms
Weekends - REST / ABS

This is just a basic idea, I could modify it further if you could answer the following questions ...

1. Goals - Bulk / Cut ?
2. What's your lagging bodypart ?
3. What's your best bodypart ?

Thanks for the help Sub. I'm currently on a bulk. I'd say right now my best body parts are my chest and legs. My forearms and shoulders are somewhat lagging. Just some further info, my current routine consists of 3 sets of 10 reps per exercise with the exception of abs and I do 3 sets of 20 reps for them. I also do 20-30 min of cardio post workout 3 times a week.
