Does this routine make sense?
Day 1: Shoulders/Chest/Back
Day 2: Legs/Triceps/Biceps
(8-12 reps per set)
Day 3: rest
Repeat
I've been doing all exercises in one day until now, with less than expected results.

I've always had a tough time working shoulders and chest on the same day, but that's just me. My split is day 1:Chest, back, biceps. Day 2: Legs, shoulders, triceps. Wednesday rest, then repeat. I'm currently cutting the last little bit of fat from a bulking cycle and this has worked for me, but everyone is different. How many sets per muscle group are you doing?
