    Does his program costs money? I would never pay for a resistance training program. Why? Because no two human body's are the same. We are each ingeniously created, therefore, you have to find out what works best for you. Research, and you can design a kickass periodization for yourself to work around your schedule, family, work, vacation, everything. If it is a free program, post it and we'll take a look at it.

    I see recovery issues. You are doing tri's the day after chest and shoulders, not good. Then hitting arms one day later. Do you not work calves and hamstrings? I suggest a different split, something that allows more recovery for specific muscle groups and fits your schedule.

    If you stick with a 2 on 1 off split:
    Mon: Legs

    Tues: Chest/Tri's

    Wed: off

    Thurs: Back/Bi's

    Friday: Shoulders

    Sat: 0ff

    Sun: Repeat

    Or change your Tuesdays and Thrusdays as you suggested. Or you might not have a recovery issue at all, and the first plan you laid out will work the best. Try a few different ways. You should be able to tell immediately if you are under-recovered. If your weights go down the second time you work that muscle group, then you need more recvoery, pretty simple.

    How is the MuscleNow Program going?

    Do you use his Nutritional program as well? Using the fruit before and after working out?

    thanks
