I'm just getting off a program that works muscles twice a week and am gonna get back on a once-a-week cycle...I am having problems dividing up my workouts because of two main constraints...I work Sat./Sun. and like those days off, also I play soccer wednesday nights and don't want to work legs before a game...I am currently doing:
mon: chest
tues: back, forearms
wed: shoulders, traps
thurs: legs
fri: bi/tri
My concern is with my shoulders which were still sore from monday and im also afraid that im hitting my traps two days in a row. Any suggestions???

Why not do a 4 day split, so you have Wednesdays, Saturday and Sunday's off?
Monday..chest/back
Tuesday..triceps/biceps
Wed....X
thursday..Legs/calves
Friday...Shoulders/forearms/Abs
or you could switch and do chest/tricep and back/bicep

would a 4 day split work for bulking up? or does that just depend on the weight/reps?

A 4 day split will work fine for bulking. Plenty of rest and recouperation time. Your diet will play an even bigger part.

Hi,
I'm looking for a new program myself, right now I'm using a 4 day split but I don't like the muscle groups targeted each day, the above program sounds much better. I was wondering if you would mind laying it out in detail (excercise, # of sets, and # of reps) I would greatly appreciate it. I'm also lookin' to start some type of nutrition program in the New Year any help there would be appreciated. Thanks, happy holidays.

Hmmm well I'm a big guy already, mainly wanna lose the fat and turn it into muscle like I'm not worrierd bout bein' completely ripped, but I want the muscle to be noticeable ... from what I've heard to achieve what I wanna do ... I should do big weight w/ sets of say 8 - 6 - 4 reps .... instead of something little weight doing 20 reps isn't that for toning?
