this is the routine i gave my wife...
Day 1
Back/Arms/Abs
Day 2
Quads/Hams/Calfs
Day 3
Chest/Shoulders/Abs

you would do day one on mon, day 2 on wed and day 3 on a friday then 30min cardio after the session.
hope this helps...

living in newquay you should try to get to the NABBA West Britain in 7 weeks it is a good show and a few guys from the board will be there...
Good classic split there mate, what about the olympic lifts?

I know they're pretty hard to learn but if you keep the reps low and the resistance high the result seems to be minimal hypertrophy and a lot of strength gains, could be perfect for this lady.

A lot of the female athletes in my gym use the olympic lifts exclusively for resistance training and none are particularly big, just 'toned'.
