I'm a moron.

Are you talking about two-a-day trainings where you would have one lifting session in the morning and then one at night on the same days? Or are you referring to having a training session at night on Monday and then on Tues morn?
 
It may not be absurd if set up properly. What were you thinkin' as far as movements and volume and intensities and etc?
 
If I was going to do two-a-days I'd have completely different parameters or low volume for both sessions.

Ex:do your compound stuff in the AM with higher intensity and then come back PM and do some lower intensity isolation stuff.

or

Ex:Olympic lifting style...work a couple heavyish singles or doubles in teh AM and come back PM and do the same=high intensity but low volume.

Sketch it out and we'll make adjustments where necessary. The biggest thing is to listen to your body to know when you're overtraining.
 
I wouldnt advise doing this unless you had been weight trining for quite some time. And its a lot of time to be spending in the gym.

If you do go for it would do somthing like this

day 1
moning - bench, row, chest fly, close grip row
evening - calf raises, abd cruches, wood choppers, reverse wood choppers.

day 2
morning - deadlift, squat, stepups
evening - shoulder press, pull up, standing row, close grip pull down.
day 3 rest.


day 1 - morning, 5x5 - evening, 3x10
day 2 - morning, 3x10 - evening 2x15

Swapping the workout round every cycle, but stick the set/rep systems to those days.

Evo- what do you think?

group them by antagonists

chest/traps
shoulders/lats
core/arms (if you have to isolate arms, but there is no need)
legs.
 
I know, Stumped for a while to.
the best thing about training antagonist muscles is that (for example chest/traps) for one exercise your using your biceps ,and triceps for the other, so you get maximum power on both exercises.
But if you worked chest and shoulders, your shoulder workout would suffer as you have just been using your triceps for your chest. Plus, if your training 4 times in 2 day you want to keep your arms as strong as possible by not over training them.

If you do feel that you want bigger arms, then you could spend change for a while to a more arm focused program.
 
Antagonists-


Hey, what equipment do you have access to? Weights, jump ropes, ab roller, etc? Are you in a gym or at home? I'm thinking if yer cutting you might move to incorporating stuff The Bear and HOC along with strength training.

Okay I guess my next question would be if I was doing a 4 section split, what body parts should be included in what sections? I've done a little reading and this sounded reasonable:

One: Back and Biceps
Two: Chest and Abs
Three: Legs
Four: Shoulders and Triceps

I'd go with this split however get everything done in one session and if you do choose to do 2-a-days, perform cardio in one session and weight training in the other. It's very easy to overtrain yourself by doing 2 weight training sessions on the same day unless you are very advanced and have been lifting consistently for a very long time.

Be sure you get at least 2 rest days in somewhere as well.
 
LV brings up a really good point and I had kinda' touched on listening to your body to make sure you weren't over training. I think if cutting is your goal then I think you should weight train once in the morning/afternoon and do some high intensity cardio-type activities at night=burpees, jumping rope, interval sprints, etc

I think you might also look at incorporating The Bear into your routine.
