    i wouldnt train chest and shoulders on consecutive days if you're doing a 5 day split,
    Back
    Chest
    Legs
    Shoulders
    Arms........this is what i used to use and liked a lot, obviously you can add a rest day after chest if you want or anyother day infact......

    lots of diferent opinions on what people like..

    I like this ^^ and have done it.

    ATM for me-

    Chest/bis
    Legs
    Shoulders/tris
    Back



    It's a good one....it was Yates on cycle split I read somewhere. Work out your own off days...maybe 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off

    Have used this 5 day split and loved it:

    M: Back
    T: Chest
    W: off (just abs at home)
    Th: Legs/calves
    F: Shoulders/Traps
    Sa: Arms
    Su: just abs at home again

    Have been using a 3 day split i find far superior (I know train lower volume but higher intensity (fewer sets but all to at least failure or rest/pause or drop sets)

    1: Chest/bis/hams/abs
    2. shoulders/tris/traps
    3. Back/quads/calves/abs
    off usually just one day, but extra rest day thrown in somewhere if needed (depending on how many body parts sore and how sore)

    My split is pretty much like yours but I don't do legs all together, I move hams to back day.

    Quads/calves
    Shoulders/tri's
    Chest/bi's
    Back/hams
