I have been working on Tweaking My Workout... Can Anyone see any problems with this Split?

Mon: Chest and Triceps & Abs (20 Minutes Cardio)
Tue: Back and Biceps (25 Minutes Cardio)
Wed: Cardio (30 Minutes Elliptical)& Abs
Thur: Leg Day (Ugh!!) (20 minutes Cardio)
Fri: Shoulders & Abs
Sat: Cardio (30 Minutes Elliptical)
Sun: Off

All weight Workouts are preceeded by a 5 minute Cardio Workout. Can anyone suggest a better split for me?

Thanks

Ken

Ken, it sounds like a pretty good split! Make sure that your exercises are strictly compound ones using heavy weights. Don't be afraid to throw in a few drop sets, super sets and partials towards the end...you'll be amazed at how these can shock your muscles into growth! Keep your total number of sets at around 12-15. Otherwise, you'll run the risk of overtraining.

Also, vary your exercises every 2-3 weeks and rotate the muscle groups when you think you've reached a plateau.

Good luck!
