    Are you doing upside down squats or something? How else do you do legs on a pull day? (I know I know deadlifts... But shouldn't you do most of your leg stuff on a push day?)

    It'll work alright.. What exactly are going to be doing?

    I don't know, I just got this split off of a bodybuilding site and decided to give it a try. But figured I would get some opinions on it first.

    Lots of people really like Push/Pull splits... Some people prefer Upper/Lower splits.. It really depends what works best for you. Figure out what exercises you're going to do.. Come back here for some input then give it a go! If it works great!... If not then try something new!

    Well... To some degree...

    IE:

    Monday: Arms
    Tuesday: Chest
    Wednesday: Arms
    Thursday: Chest
    Friday: Arms
    Saturday: Chest
    Sunday: Auxilary

    Would be a TERRIBLE split.

    As long as you have sufficient time to recuperate most any split should work (Provided it's not a stupid split like my previous example)

    Not to keep posting splits, but between these two, what would you choose?

    Mon-Chest/Tris
    Tues-Off
    Wed-Bis/Back
    Thurs-Off
    Fri-Shoulders/Legs
    Sat&Sun-Off

    Or

    Day1-Chest/Tris
    Day2-Off
    Day3-Legs
    Day4-Back/Bi
    Day5-Off
    Then start cycle again.

    See my biggest thing is, not to overttrain, but not to take too much time off either.
