    I personally don't like the layout. Why chest twice a week and everything else once. And doing legs in the middle of the routine will split it up nicely and give your upper body that added rest and growth.

    Try something like this.

    4 day split
    Mon - chest and bis
    Tues - Back
    Wed - off
    Thrus - Legs
    Fri - Shoulders and traps

    5 day split
    Mon - Chest
    Tues - Back
    Wed - Off
    Thrus - Arms
    Fri - Legs
    Sat - Shoulders
    Sun - Off

    i like that 5 day split, think ill use that myself. doing arms after an off day gives that extra rest so you can put your full energy into bi's

    Shredz hit it right on the money with the 5 day split, use that one, its very similar to mine, and i feel it works best.

    but i thought sence i have gotten use to doing chest 2 times a week that only doing it 1 time would not give me good gains.

    I have really done a lot of thinking about splits, and this is the best i can come up with and this is what i use

    mon-chest and bis
    tues-legs
    wed-off
    thurs-delts and tris
    fri-back and traps

    this way, every muscle gets good recovery time and everything is worked out fresh and at 100%, my bis arent affected at all after benching, and my tris strength is not decreased at all by 4 heavy sets of mil. presses

    FYI:

    You grow (chest will get bigger, I can tell that's your focus) when you blast the sh*t out of it in one intense session, then REST and RECOVER. That is when you grow, after the damage has been done, w/proper nutrition. Exercise (weights) are merely the pre-cursor that demands growth.....to have growth happen, you need food and rest, and plenty of it, or you'll never GET bigger.
