    And yes, I don't train my traps or calves directly. My traps are actually ahead of the rest of my physique and often sore. While my calves maintain proportional and defined.

    Noted. I was putting it together that way factoring in the use of AAS into recovery time but that's silly. I'm not recovered post-deads now by the next day and I shouldn't assume I will be on test.

    Think I should switch legs with my misc core/cardio day and do em early saturday AM or have shoulders following back? Arms is a no-go as my bis are dead the day after and my tris will still be a bit sore from chest. I know my rear delts get hit a bit when doing back. Maybe move upright rows and other rear delt work to core/abs day? FML.

    One last bump. Starting to feel good about this split though. That is, with legs on Saturday.
