changing up routine

Hey everyone!
Well I've been doing a FBW 3x a week for some time now and i don't seem to be getting the most out of it .. i feel like i am leaving stuff out and not working certain areas hard enough so i was considering changing up my routine. I was thinking of creating a split that goes something like this:

Day 1: Chest and Triceps
Day 2: Back and Biceps
Day 3: Legs and Abs
* Which day should i throw shoulders in??
Day 4: Rest
.. and then i would repeat this 4 day pattern
Also i will be doing the treadmill for about 30 mins each day after hitting the weights.

I was thinking of doing this so that i will be able to do the key compound exercises and on top of that I can hit some isolation exercises to further work my muscles. Would this workout be any good. Any suggestions and comments would be great. Thanks, Anthony :cool:
 
Are you sure it is the workout that is the cause of lack of results? What has your diet been like? Are you expectations too high? What exactly has been your progress? How long is "some time now?"
 
Well its not so much the workout .. i just find that in the time i have im not gettin enough done and covering all the muscles.. with a limited time i want to get a FBW and a bit of running on the treadmill in.. this new way ill be able to split it up and have time to really work my muscles.. any comments about my plan or help would be great
 
It's not what I would do, but if I did....I'd put shoulders with chest. You're already stressing them.

Still, I would consider a push/pull or upper lower split if you need to split it up. 4 days on, 3 days off per week. My $.02.
 
thanks.. ill consider an upper/lower split . but i will just try my idea out and if i feel its not good then ill change it up or maybe try to re-make a FBW routine so i target all major muscles within my time that i have in the gym each day
