    New split opinions. Getting bored with old one

    Alright guys and gals, this is my first official post on the board. My current condition and goals are in my sig. I am just short of 25 yrs old (September). I am married with a child, so I am not sure about doing a cycle. Just not sure about bringing the pins around them. I am big genetically though, so physique is not the problem (pics are coming).

    As my sig says, I used to be really fat. I did the Body for Life, and continue to work out like that. Lately, I have lost the motivation, and I think that the problem is I am tired of the BFL split. If you are not familiar it is lifting every other day (alternating upper and lower body) and cardio every other day. Here is the split I am thinking about. What is your opinion, and will it help me acheive my goals.

    New split:

    Monday - Chest, light back
    Tuesday - Bi's, Tri's, Abs, Cardio (25-45 mins interval)
    Wed - Legs
    Thursday - Shoulders, Abs, Cardio
    Friday - Back, light chest
    Saturday - Cardio
    Sunday - Rest

    Any help is very appreciated. Started the new split yesterday, and chest and back feel great today.

    you're probably right bro. That is a good idea. I will see how it goes this week and maybe move it around. Where in Chi are you? I am in the far North burbs. Work in Vernon Hills

    Schaumburg can be a good time. I have a good buddy that lives in Addison. It's cool meeting somebody on the board close to home. Hit me up if you want/need to

    I like hot Italian girls, and there is nothing wrong with $4 martinis. I will have to make it down that way soon.

    I agree with rujulus, bi's and tri's definitely on a friday, doing them early on in the week will effect your training intensity for your other body parts. And seeing as you've been doing it for a while you should up your cardio to every day for 5 days and have 2 days off.
