    I think it's a bad split. You have to pick the way you are going to train(either frequency or volume) then create a split that fits that mold. Once you have done this for a while then you can see how you respond and tweak. Above you are working some muscles once a week and some twice. That being said if you wanna work your muscles twice a week you should try a DC/HIT type split. At the very least if you wanna keep your split I would rearrange it to give yourself better recovery time and come back stronger every workout. Use legs as a bufffer and rest day for your upper body. It makes no sense having leg day then an off day. Throw legs in some where around wed- thurs and have your off day Sun. I think this change alone will make a huge DIff on your workouts, and will feel stronger all week

    Ok thanks for the advice, maybe I will switch up wednesdays, I will go back in the morning, legs in the evening. Then have two days off over the weekend. That sound any better?

    Your missing the point of having legs in the middle. The point is to give your upper body time to rest and recover. Instead of working upper body all week then hitting your legs at the end, work upper body 2 days, then legs, then upper body, the day off. Like I said above your setup ist good to begin with, here's what I would do if you are set on working each twice a week. I will give you 2 ways to do it. The first one is the best, but doesn't have a set day for everything, it always chages. Its 3 days on, 1 day off, 3 days on, 1 day off

    (mon) Day 1- Chest/Shoulder/Tri
    (tue) Day 2- Legs
    (wed) Day 3- Back/Bi
    (Thurs) Off
    (Fri) Day 1
    (sat) Day 2
    (Sun) Day 3
    (mon) off

    If you have a tough schedule and can only workout Mon-Sat try this

    Mon- Chest/Shoulder/Tri
    Tue- Leg
    Wed - Back/Bi
    Thurs- Chest/Shoulder/Tri
    Fri - Leg
    Sat- Back Bi
    Sun- Off

    Also when you are Training this frequently you have to lower the volume substantially. Look into HIT training and DC training, like I said in my original post i think you are doing to much, If you wanna work out more frequently do a 2 day DC split or IRON MAN HIT. Look in the sticky called various training techiques, Iron man is 2/3 of the way down
