    friday deadlift+ chins, lighter squats, incline db bench, abs

    that's how I would probably set it up for myself
    sorry but this is not a good split at all.

    a good simple three day split:

    mon back+shoulders

    wed legs+abs

    fri chest+arms

    why is my routine no good? It's basically a push, pull, and squat split with some abs thrown in there.

    Splitting up the body and only training each movement once per week isn't as effective as higher frequency.

    you move from concentrating blood in one major muscle group to another, and you're training groups multiple times per week, not an effective way to train.

    I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. I've had great results training the same movement or body part 2 or 3 times per week and not gotten great results with once per week.
