Im in better shape than ever but I think I reached a plateau and have lost the motivation of going to the gym as normal. To bust out of it I've asked for a new program from FT but I am not very satisfied with the program it. Everyweek, each muscle group is only worked once. I am a natural trainer, taking only meal replacement shakes after my training sessions and I am not convinced that exercising muscles once a week will help me get the results that I want(goal:lean muscle mass).
I am planning to get a new fitness program done with the help of the trainers at my gym, but before I spend the money to do so, I would like your opinions on working muscles once each week vs working them twice.
Also, I was thinking of having my program set to mon-chest, tues-legs, wed-back, friday-full.. would this be okay?..
please help.. thank you..

I'm a 20yr old female.. yea, that could be one reason, it has never occured to me that i might be over training..
for the past 2months or so i have been doing these exercises 3days in a row with one day rest after.
chest+shoulders: shoulder press, lateral raise, front raise, chest press, incline press, ab work
legs: smith machine squats, lunges, deadlifts, hamstring curl, calf raises, ab work
back: straight arm pull down, seated row, t-bar row, upright row, back extension, ab work
for the new program, i have set the exercises to 3days and it has made a split of:
ab, chest, shoulder, tricep
back, biceps, forearm
abs, legs calves
i was thinking that maybe il do the same with these as i did the ones before (3days gym, 1 day rest)..
