    Can you please help me group these muscles??

    i am doing a 5 day split. Which combo would you choose?

    A)

    M- Quads/calvs/abs
    T- Chest/tris
    W- OFF
    Th- Hams/calvs/abs
    F- Back/bis
    Sa- Shoulder/calvs
    Su- OFF

    B)

    M- Quads/calvs/abs
    T- Chest/tris
    W- Hams/calvs/abs
    Th- OFF
    F- Shoulder/calvs
    Sa- Back/bis
    Su- OFF

    C)

    M- Quads/calvs/abs
    T- Chest/tris
    W- OFF
    Th- Back/bis
    F- Shoulder/calvs
    Sa- Hams/calvs/abs
    Su- OFF

    My calvs and abs are the weakest, hence, the 2x/wk.

    Please keep in mind that I do SLDL for hams, deadlifts for back, and squats for legs (This is why I am having a hard time grouping my split accordingly).

    In knowing that, which would you chose or would you make up a different one?

    TIA

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks for your opinion man. I'd pay someone a million dollars if they can get my calves bigger..lol. They are SO STUBBORN.

    The problem with ALL of these routines is that I don't see one that will allow my lower back to recover properly before I move on to the next workout which requires tesnion on the lower back again. Maybe I am lookig into it too much.

    I am with you on A and C though..

    a and c should be good...id rather go for a, so friday night my biceps are swollen haha...no but really...my calves wont grow either...an unconsitant routine on your calves (twice a week, but different excerise everytime...get like 4 different calf excersises and rotate it)...also do randommmm sets...like 21, and next set like 10, and then next set like 30....thats the only thing thats helping my calves now. its weird

    Were in the same boat so here is what I do now.

    M: Quad, calves, and 1 exercise (pref. leg culs) for hams
    T: Off
    W: Shoulder, abs, Tris
    Th: off or cardio
    Fri: Back, Calves, and 1-2 exercise form hams (I do deads or rack pulls for back which also hit hams)
    Sat: Chest, Bis, abs
    Sun: Off or a.m. cardio.

    Some weeks I might even skip shoulders or chest and do a BI and Tri workout. Sometimes I might skip bis one week to do forearms instead. I guess I really dont have a set split.

    The easy solution is to do two different routines and alternate.

    Week 1 do SLDL for back and Hack squats for legs for example.

    Week 2 do upper back and squats for legs, then repeat week 1 the next week.
