    Training schedule-Do I need to tweak it??

    I recently got back into the gym after a few years off. Here is my training schedule. Can you guys help me out, and tell me if I should change this?

    Day 1- Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

    Day 2- Legs, Back, Biceps

    Day 3- Off

    Day 4- Repeat of Day 1

    Day 5- Repeat of Day 2

    Day 6- Off

    Im thinking that doing all of my pulling type of exercises on one day will allow me to let the muscles recover for 72 hours, and the same for all of my push style exercises. Ive read some posts where people say to work your biceps on the chest day so the smaller muscle groups wont be tired from working the bigger muscle groups. Any help would be great.

    That seems like a good routine. Im gonna try that starting monday. Im 33 years old now, and Im in pretty bad shape. Im fairly strong, so I hope to keep gaining knowlege, and putting it to use. I had a pretty good body back when I used to train. I hope to make my body even better than my younger one.
