    working: back/biceps, chest/triceps, legs/shoulders is this a bad combo?

    is there a better workout plan?

    That is a very very common 3 day split. In fact that's what I'm doing right now. It's a good combo IMO.

    Yes, that is a good split to start off with. You should progress nicely.

    Cool, thanks for replying. I have seen good results since I have been doing this since last October, but it almost feels like I have hit a wall, you know.

    When i was younger, in my 3rd year of weight training i used that split. But the truth is I would find myself too exhausted halfway through. Simply because when you train chest, many exercises employ triceps as a secondary muscle. So when I went through chest, my triceps would be too tired to get up the amount of weighted i needed to harden and sculpt that body part. Same thing with back, as most back workouts employ biceps as the secondary mucscle group. I do see how that this type of training is ideal for recovery times, and if it works then great keep it! However if you find it is detremental try switching, I switched my routine to look something like chest and biceps, back and triceps, etc. Other than that looking good.

    Thanks,
