3 day split

[marcletourneau]

Hey, I currently do a 3 day split (chest&tri, back&bi, shoulders&legs) but work has forced me to switch my gym days to monday,tuesday, wednesday.
I'm feeling that I'm not getting full rest on my bi and tri, should I switch my split to the following
monday-chest & back
tuesday-shoulders & legs
wednesday-biceps & triceps

please give me some feedback

Thanks!

If you can only workout m-w I would do

M- Chest/Shoulders
T- Back/Bi
W- Legs/Tri

This way you can space out all secondary muscles alittle better.

Hey man, how's training going for you?

I used to only be able to workout M-W also and i did something like below:

Day 1 Upper body Push (Chest, Shoulders, tris)
Day 2 Upper body Pull (Back, Bi's, Abs)
Day 3 Legs

its going well, making some all around solid gains in my lifting, but my schedule is killing me, can't get on my bike as much as I would like to.
how about you?
