    How should I arrange my 5-day split?

    I train Mon-Fri because my school gym is closed on weekends. Here are my workouts.

    Chest/Calves:
    Incline Dumbbell Chest Press, 4 sets
    Dumbbell Pullover, 4 sets
    Flat Dumbbell Press, 3 sets
    Flat Dumbbell Flye, 3 sets
    Standing Calf Raise, 4 sets
    Seated Calf Raise, 4 sets

    Back/Forearms:
    Wide-grip Lat Pulldown, 5 sets
    Close-grip Lat Pulldown, 3 sets
    Barbell Row, 3 sets
    One-arm Dumbbell Row, 3 sets
    Seated Cable Row, 4 sets
    Wrist Curl, 3 sets
    Reverse Wrist Curl, 3 sets

    Legs/Abs:
    Back Squat, 4 sets
    Leg Press, 3 sets
    Walking Lunge, 2 sets
    Leg Extension, 3 sets
    Romanian Deadlift, 4 sets
    Seated Leg Curl, 4 sets
    Hanging Leg Raise, 2 sets
    Ab Crunch Machine/Rope Crunch (which one is better?), 2 sets
    Plank, 2 sets (btw, do planks fix a distended gut like stomach vacuums?)

    Shoulders/Traps:
    Dumbbell Shoulder Press, 4 sets
    Lateral Raise, 4 sets
    Reverse Pec Deck, 5 sets
    Front Raise, 3 sets
    Shrug, 5 sets

    Arms/Calves:
    Close-grip Dumbbell Press, 4 sets
    Overhead Extension, 3 sets
    Tricep Pushdown, 2 sets
    Reverse-grip Tricep Pushdown, 2 sets
    E-Z Bar Curl, 3 sets
    Dumbbell Curl, 2 sets
    Hammer Curl, 3 sets
    Seated Calf Raise, 4 sets
    Leg Press Calf Raise, 4 sets

    How do I arrange this to make sure each muscle has enough rest before getting hit again? The thing that confuses me most is how to space out between chest day and back day so the back gets enough rest from dumbbell pullovers before getting trained again. The arm day makes arranging this split tough. But if I trained my arms at the end of my chest and back days they would be too tired to really do shyt.

    Not here to debate what I think of your split. If those were my days I would do something like..

    M-Legs
    T-Chest
    W-Back
    H-Shoulders
    F-Arms

    Wouldn't be overly concerned with your spacing issue tbh.

    Would it be overtraining if my lats get hit from pullovers on chest day and they get hit again the next day on back day?
    And is 1 day distance from back day to arm day enough for the biceps to recover before they get hit again? I know biceps get indirectly shot a lot on back day.

    You have a misconception on what true over training is, but to answer your question hitting pullovers for a few sets won't negatively affect you on back day to an extent where it's a problem.

    One day rest should be adequate for a body part being indirectly trained, albeit one that does get indirectly hit a lot.

    Stop doing retarded 5 day splits and get on a actual routine like a full body routine for beginners.
