    I think both of them would be overtraining a bit...5 days on is a lot, and you'd be hitting tris 3 times a week...once with arms, and twice indirectly with chest and shoulders. I would stick to the original one and just alter the days if you need a change..or change exercises for a bit. That's just IMO.

    i like your current routine better

    why do you feel the need to change it?

    Are you no longer making progress?

    The reason why I want to change is because I'm not making any more progress it seems.
    And I'm getting very bored with my current routine. Just want a change.

    i like the current one but i'd move biceps to shoulders day; as shoulder are a small muscle group and don't deserve a whole day to themselves
