    White space is your friend.

    Move delts away from chest, do bis with chest, tris with back. Legs with shoulders. Not sure what you do for abs. You need heavy ham work - try RDLs instead of leg curls. Deads in lower rep-ranges. Not sure what your diet is like, or your goals.

    It's push/pull/legs. There's nothing wrong with that other than the abs you have in there. Do abs with the same frequency you lift everything else, and add weight if you're not already doing so.

    Why the light bench day? And not a light back day or a light squat day?

    Oh I didn't even see that. Ditch that benching on that day, lifting doesn't help flab.

    ...and you can't isolate where you lose fat, anyway (despite what all those ab-roller and thigh-master commercials tell you).

    It really means nothing just by telling us how you group muscles. What about exercises, reps, sets, intensity, etc.?

    Your question is way to vague to answer, which is why I requested more info.

    Sets, reps, intensity .......... ?? What do you do for warmup? What's your day job? How many hours of sleep do you get each night? How many years of training do you have? What are your biggest accomplishments in the gym? What are your goals?

    You're not going to "cut up" while gaining weight. You "cut up" when you go on a cut...hence the word..."cut"...
