    I guess it depends on your goals, but I would never run that split.

    delts and chest on the same day?

    And you're only doing one working set for each exercise? (so, only 1 set of squats?)

    what exactly are you hoping to accomplish with this?

    Depending on the size of your calves, do donkey calf raises or seated. I can remember that was the same exact routine my weightlifting coach gave us in High School. Do you take the weekends off and back on Monday? Or do you mix it up every week?

    I wanted to try this because I was told you shouldn't workout 2 days in a row because it takes 24 hours for your muscles to fully recover and it also had something to do with your nervous system.
