    I personally wouldn't do the two together. Their is no way Id have the energy to work both hard. You could try my routine. I usually end up working two body parts in a week, but it rotates from week to week.

    Workout
    1. chest- 12 sets x 10 reps, tri's 8 sets x 10 reps
    2 shoulders - 12 sets x10 reps, abs
    3. back - 12 sets x10 reps, biceps - 8 sets x 10 reps
    4. legs - 12 - 14 sets x 10 reps, calves 8 sets x 10 reps, abs
    repeat

    fit two days off in there. Do low intensity cardio on days off. I like to try to fit some HIIT during the week as well. That leaves one extra day to repeat in the week. so for example it could look like this:

    Monday: 1
    Tuesday: 2
    Wednesday: off
    Thursday: 3
    Friday: 4
    Saturaday: off
    Sunday: 1

    Thats a solid routine, pretty much identical to what i've been doing for years except i generally go 4 sets so i'm doing 16 sets total for major muscles and 12 for arms etc. The workout yesterday was tough but the intensity was awesome and i got through it, i'm just looking for a way to switch things up for a while since i've been doing the same thing forever now.
