    My ideal split is to do...

    Sunday: Chest, Calves
    Monday: Back, Traps
    Tuesday: Rest
    Wednesday: Shoulders, Triceps, Biceps
    Thursday: Rest
    Friday: Legs
    Saturday: Rest

    Chest first, because why not? Back next because you've just worked out the major muscle on the front of ur body, and you've worked out front delts a bit, so ur rear delts aren't going to be sore, so now you can work out back without any nagging soreness. I like a days rest after working out two major muscles back to back. Then on Wednesday, I do shoulders, and arms, because those muscles should be good and rested, and I choose this over legs, because my hamstrings are usually still pretty sore from deadlifts. Then I like to get a full day of rest before I work out legs, that way on Friday I can go into the gym fully rested, and ready. I don't like doing calves on leg day, because they usually get spent after squats and lunges, but you can really do calves, and abs, on any day you like. Then on Saturday, I rest, because I am still spent after killing my legs the day before, and I just like to relax and feed them all day long. So, this split is ideal for me, because there is never any soreness preventing me from working out. I hope this helps.

    no one has a clue what your training for?

    If your bodybuilding, no split is 'ideal' it's about changing it up every few weeks or when your body adapts to a specific method
