    Help tweak my routine

    I've been lifting for about 1 1/2 years, I am 6ft and i went from 170lbs to 205..Now i am at about 195..Now that i have some decent size, I would really like some muscle seperation, and want to tweak my workout and hit it in a diff way..
    here is current:

    Mon: chest/shoulders

    3 sets chest: 5-8 reps on compound exercises..8-10 on isolation

    2 sets of shoulder: same as above

    2 sets back 6-9 reps

    Tues: bis/tris

    3 sets bis: 6-9 reps

    3 sets tris: 6-9 reps

    Wed: legs/back

    4 sets of legs: 10-12 reps

    Thurs: repeat mon

    Fri: repeat tues

    sat/sun: off

    I didnt list specific routines because I change them every two weeks..The reason I work parts twice a week is I dont wont to overtrain a muscle in one session, but I am starting to think twice a week may be doing just that..I am open to suggestions..

    thanks in advance..

    Good gains so far buddy, well done!

    So your style is low volume,high intensity, regular interval ? Could be good to drop back on the intervals and add a little more volume....for a while at least.

    You follow Monday chest with tris on tuesday
    Bis on Tuesday followed by back on Wed.
    These are hitting the same muscles twice in 2 days....

    Leg and back together, I would split this, so you can realy hit them hard.

    Still training Monday to Fri, but hitting the big muscles once a week-

    Mon- Chest
    Tues- Back
    Wed- Legs
    Thurs- shoulders
    Fri- Arms

    You could do some tri work with chest and bis with back, as these smaller muscles can handle the 2x a week.
    Two compound lifts for each large muscle, low reps and heavy(5-8reps) on the first excerise, second compound get 8-12 reps, finish with your isolation (10-15 reps).

    This could be a good change, give the body a bit of a kick with something new.
