    no offense, but it does not seem like you have put very much thought into this schedual. In my opinion, they could both be better, but the new one is worse.
    You do not give your muscle enough rest time. Especially your triceps and back. I mean, You give your other muscle about 2 days of rest, which I don't think is enough. But, you only give your triceps and back one day of rest between working them. And when it comes to your back, you need to be especially careful of what you do.

    You were given good ideas in your last post in the workout forum. You should have tried one of them. Your new schedule is still lousy. Same exact problem, no recovery!

    just give larger muscles about 5-7 days recovery and put arms as far away from them as u can and shoulders as far away from chest as u can , this might not make sense but its how i structured mine

    here is your new schedule and what is wrong with it IMO.......

    tues-biceps and triceps
    You work tris during chest, meaning that by working tris again the next day you wont allow proper recovery,
    wed-shoulders and back
    Once again you overlap, your shoulders act as stabilizers during many bi/tri exercises and you did chest on mon, so imo you may be prown to overuse injury's down the line
    thurs-chest and triceps
    48 hours is the MIN amount of time to give a bodypart to recover, so by doing chest and tris again will probably lead to atrophy because your still not fully recovered since the onslaught of upper body exercise in the week.
    fri-biceps and back
    Once again, not enough time to recover
    sat-off
    A novel idea, one that should have been repeated twice already
    sun-legs


    Now, if this wernt enough, you should also know that this routine dosnet provide enough recovery for your CNS as well. This will greatly produce overtraining and can cause sickness, ***ression, reduced ability to grow (which is the whole point) and at the very least burnout.

    so when you say, i just cant see myself not training such and such times a week what you should be saying is I just cant see myself improving my physique beyond what ive accomplished so far.
    Here is my previous answear from your old thread.
