TBH we were both just starting to get a little over trained after 8 weeks of a 7 day split. This seems just about perfect and gives me my weekends free to spend with my lovely wife. 
Looking forward to seeing you again mate, lots to catch up on plus killing each other in the gym is fun!  :lift:

Hang on a minute
I've been advocating the one on, one off, nine day four way split rotation for ages. Didn't listen to me then did you?! Bugga
Anyway James, on a serious note, DB has a point. From some angles on the show pics, your midline looks to be getting thicker so don't go crazy with them deads.
I'm going to make one last plea & to hell with the flaming I might get from the 'yes men', I only have your best interests at heart James so please don't get offended;
STOP TRAINING YOUR ARMS!! They are overpowering the rest of your physique & throwing your symmetry right off. I know you love training with Matt & it does you both a lot of good, but you have different goals & different physiques so you can't both train the same & expect it to be perfect. You could do with sitting back, taking an honest look at your physique & asking which bodyparts
actually need to be improved, and equally importantly, which parts
do not.
Simply training every bodypart all the time just because that's what most people do is never going to iron out your symmetry. It may be a bit boring but a restricted split, allowing all the stimulation, rest & recuperation to be concentrated on the lagging bodyparts is IMO, the only way for you to go from here if you truly want to exploit your full potential. Training every bodypart just 'because' will dilute the progress you could make on the lagging parts & serve to further highlight the imbalances.
The untrained parts will still get enough stimulation to maintain from the other sessions & with your diet nailed, you will NOT lose any muscle in those areas.
There, I've said it. Ultimately, it's your decision but I hope you know
why I'm saying this to you. It's because I'm a good friend, and will never be a 'yes man'. Speak soon (unless you are p1ssed at me
)
