Does this workout split make sense???/

[zip2203]

I have been doing a 6 day split- chest/tris x 2, shoulders/legs x2, back/bi's x 2 for awhile now. I am just picked up hours at my job and I am going to have to cut my workout time. I am currently trying to cut and lose some fat. I was wondering if this work out would still give me results

Monday:
Chest- Bench, Incline, Decline, Cable Flys, Read overhead presses
Tris- Rope Extensions, Rope pulldowns, skull crushers, Dips
Light Cardio at end of workout

Tuesday:
Cardio- HIIT in the morning, Light Cardio at night

Wed.
Shoulders- Lateral, Front and Read DB raises, DB presses, Bar up rows
Legs- Extensions, Curls, Add/Abd, Calf raises, Glut. Machine
Light Cardio after lifting

Thrusday:
Cardio- HIIT in the morning, Light Cardio at night

Friday:
Back- Lat. Pulldowns, Pullbacks, Shrugs, DB Rows, Face Pulls
Biceps- Alt. Curls, Hammer curls, Preacher Curls, Incline Curls, Rev. Curls
Light Cardio after lifting

Saturday:
Cardio- HIIT in the morning, Light cardio at night


I am sure many some will say it is close to what I should be doing to avoid over working my muscles and not giving them enough time to recover and build but I wanted to ask so of you experienced BB'ers to see if this would makes sense, work and give results.

Thanks for any and all advice given.

i have a client on a similar split. hers is on these days though because of her work schedule...

tues - Chest/Tri's
thurs - Back/Bi's
sun - Shoulder/Legs

and she does zumba on some of her off days from the gym for cardio...

she's had good results as far as weight loss and toning up goes but alot of it is also put in to her diet.

Cutting/losing fat go back to your diet...not a specific training routine.

As for the workout, some of it looks like overkill to me. There's no need to do 5 exercises for your bis, etc...

Focus on your compound lifts and the little stuff, not so much.

Where the heck are your squats and deads?

ITA with kimm4. And I think you should definitely swap out your current leg regime for squats, deadlifts and some lunge-type deals. If you are trying to bust fat you definitely don't want to miss out on the cardio benefit of a real leg day.
