Advice would be Nice

Well i've been doin the 5/2 split for a yr and 1/2 now, not seeing any weight gains recently(several months)and i work out with great intensity. So im goin to try to work out every body part in 3days then 2off then repeat. Im only goin to be doin 9-12 sets per muscle group with heavy weight and mass builder exercises. My question is what is the best combination to work out all body parts in 3 days
I dont want to do chest/tri back/bi togethor bc by the time im done with either chest or back my tri or bi doesnt get a high intense work out
I also will be doin 9 set for delts and 9 sets for traps so what ever body part i do with shoulders shouldnt be a big one, right? anyways ill let u guys decide that for me, of course ill be doin trial and error but i firgured ill see what every one esle's opinion was. Thanks guys

I like to do it like this:

chest and tris
back
legs
shoulders
bis
ab's and calves

i would like to try a 3 day split but thanks for posting yours, any one esle doing a 3 day split or tried one, likes/dislikes?

I used to do 3days on 1 day off 3 days on 2 days off and repeat. I would hit the gym twice a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon/early evening. My split would be -

Chest (morn) Back (aft/eve)
Delts&Traps (morn) Biceps (aft/eve)
Triceps (morn) Legs (aft/eve)

The main thing to take note of in my thinking was that biceps and triceps are trained as the last things on upper body in a split, this is as they are used to an extent in most exercises so by not doing them at the beginning of a split intensity can be achieved in all the other muscle groups. This is not ground breaking, but it is good basics.

Hope this helps!

bump.....cmon, how come every one esle gets like 100replies and when i asked one simple question (whats the best combo for a 3 day split) i get 2 replies meanwhile i go through all the threads to see if i can help sum one????

I've done this in the past.
3 days on, 1 off, repeat cycle.
Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Tri's
Day 2: Quads, Hams, Calves
Day 3: Back and Bi's
Day 4: REST
Personally, recovery was an issue for me.
Try many different combinations and see which one fits you best.

if you havent yet, try the DC method. It will break your plataue for sure if you do it right.

What's worked for my friend and I is this 3 day split:

Day 1.) Chest/Legs
Day 2.) Biceps/Back
Day 3.) Shoulders/Tri's.
Abs every other day...

Not quite what you are looking for but I figured I'd post mine anyways. I have been making tremendous progress since going to this routine:

Mon - Chest/Tris
Tue - Quads/Calfs/Abs
Wed - Rest
Thur - Back/Bis
Fri - Shoulders/Hams/Calfs
Sat - Abs/Heavy Cardio
Sun - Rest

Thank You everyone for the replies
