i guess this routine would depend on how much time you have and how much you are willing to be at the gym per day to do it. back, biceps and shoulders is a lonnnnnng workout, a good 2 hours w out cardio. i personally choose one maybe 2 body parts per day and blow them out in an hour/hour and a half. id rather give all of my strength and attention to one body part, hit all the fibers correctly, than have to concentrate on multiple body parts and be exausted and not be able to finish correctly.
 
so what about an upper and lower split. Compounds are your friend... 1980 I woulb tend to group it differently. ie biceps and triceps worked on the same day- superset them. chest and upper back together. abs, lower bnack and legs. shoulder with either chest or arms day.. its all in prefernce though and what your goals are..good luck
 
i wanna be cut like usher, strong like arnold!

thanx guys! so helpful!
 
well abs and clalves can be worked every day and maybe instead of off do some cardio or atleast throw some cardio thru out your week like for say 3-5 times a week wiether its swimming, running, biking, walking or sports of somekind 30min to an hour would be benificial personly this is my gym routine
mon- triceps shoulders and back between 1/2 hour of cardio befor and after my wt.
tues - biceps chest plus cardio b4 and after w/t
Wednsday- legs plus extra cardio
thurs- same as mon but more reps plus jump rope
fri same as truesday plus legs

then if i have time i run at night or early morning

Well, if abs and calves can be worked every day so can every muscle group. The abs and calves are made of the same fibers that all the rest of the muscle groups are (slow and fast) and so the same rule would apply to whatever applied to the abs and calves.

Weds and Thurs has to many of the same muscle groups being worked back to back. Throw legs on Thurs instead of Fri. I'm always in favor of a upper/lower/off/upper/off/lower/off repeat.

Since we're running compound movements, the smaller muscle groups are going to incorporated. Keep one rep in the hole on your movements and your recovery time will be faster...not that a muscle group needs more than 72 hours rest between stimulations anyway.
 
I have a similar routine, so this helps me out too. Thanks!
