    Question Help with a new split.

    I need a new split. Right now I'm sick and taking another week off. I was doing:
    Mon-back and bi's
    Tue-cardio
    Wed-chest and tri's
    Thu-cardio
    Fri-legs
    Sat-shoulders and arms
    Calves EOD, abs EOD
    But I don't think I have enough hamstring stuff going on.
    My leg routine was: wide stance squat, narrow squat, box squat, leg press, leg extensions, and leg curls.
    Here's how I was going to change.
    I was thinking of doing just half an hour of brisk walking or stair master on my lunch hour three days a week.
    Mon-Deads, walking lunges, hack squat, leg curls super setted with adductors.
    Tue-Chins, Bent over BB row, Cable row, Standing curls, Preacher curls.
    Wed-Flat DB bench, Incline DB bench, Dips, Narrow bench, Tricep Ext.
    Thu-Wide squat, Narrow squat full, leg press, leg extension.
    Fri-Clean and press, push press, military press, up right row, shrugs, lateral raises.
    Sat-Standing BB curls, Preacher curls, alternating DB curls, French curls, Narrow bench, French press, Cable push downs with a rope, wrist curls, reverse wrist curls.
    I have tennis elbow, I've been doing physical therapy for that EOD. But being a mechanic, I've got to get into some pretty contorting spots and that wrecks havoc on the joints. That's why I was only going to do forearms on Saturdays.
    Any suggestions, critique welcome.

    Dunno, but you don't need all those quad exercises that's for sure. Leg press is the same movement as squats, so blast them and then get out of there.

    If you need a good exercise for hams try stiff-leg dead lifts on a 4" platform. BUT with all the squating ones you are doing it is hitting some hams too.. Why not switch it up every other leg workout emphasizing quads one time then the hams the next? Just a thought.

    Week one, squats wide, squats narrow, box squats, leg curls/adductors
    Week two, Lunges, leg curls/adductors, straight leg deads, leg press, leg ext
