I need some help with my workout, I have been training for about 2 and a half years properly, my sessions are about 100 minutes long, this is my current workout,

Tuesday,
I do chest and biceps, 5 exercises each, 3 sets per exercise, 8 reps per set,

Thursday,
I do back and triceps, 5 exercises each, 3 sets per exercise, 8 reps per set,

Saturday,
I do shoulders and legs, 5 exercises each, 3 sets per exercise, 8 reps per set,

I want to change my routine to 5 days a week, and train just one muscle on each day, as in Monday train chest, Tuesday train triceps and so on.

If I do this will I loose any of the muscle I have already built? and will it help me define my muscles more? Any help is appreciated.

Switching your routine will create new stimulus, and training one muscle group per day will allow you to work each group a little harder, so I think you should give it a try.

Look up split routine in fit buddy at the bottom of the screen and see what comes up, how to split your routine has been discussed a lot.
