Interdasting think ill cut it back to 2 days, what about the traps then?
"Also trap work on shoulder day or back day? Is trap work even needed if doing heavy rows,deadlifts and OHP?"

One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
My journey from 358lbs started January of 2012.

now, the abs can be worked out or not worked out, it's really isn't the issue here for you core lifts but it doesn't harm as long as you don't exhause yourself BEFORE doing you mainlifts. Ab work is a dispensable assist workout that can be ruled out if you for instance is in hurry or feel tired.

I think traps can be done on either...to me they fit better on deadlift day, but I'd do them on whatever day comes second in your routine.
i.e. my routine goes OHP - Deads - Bench - Squat
so I do them on Deads day when I do them. I wouldn't want to kill traps on OHP day and then have to deadlift next!
If that order was reversed, I'd wait until OHP day to hit traps, because I wouldn't want to kill traps on deads day and then have to OHP within a day or two!
make sense?Stern Crew

ended up doing 134.5lbs and got 4,4,3. I could of got more but would of broke form and put more weight on my lower back. Still happy enough on it considering it was my first attempt at that weight. Didn't end up doing the traps, gonna keep it for dead day. I was already over a hour by the time i finished today and i always try to keep it to a hour, 5 mins over max.

thanks - it was very fortunate. the guy who hit me left on a stretcher. he is gonna be OK but certainly has a pretty bad concussion, some glass in his face and gonna have some scars.
my hips are sore today (like the joints), and my forearms are so sore I can't grip anything. I am sure I had a deathlock on the steering wheel!Stern Crew

he said I could do light weight with like 15+ rep type of weights, need to be seated also.
cardio is OK, it may even help, but it may hurt and if it hurts to let him know.
I may just do some cardio, some BS circuit training and try to drop some lbs real quick...maybe when I come back I may drop back a couple cycles and go from there...Stern Crew

I almost wrote, "stay strong" BUT as you wrote, there is a bright side; consider this as a deload, a stepping stone to higher levels.
