You could do that routine, but after Legs on Sunday I would take Monday off, then do chest and triceps on Tuesday.
Recovery is a big thing in the growth of things, you do not grow in the gym but during rest.
If you train too much you tap into your recovery, and compromise the adaptive responce to resistance training.
What of working muscle groups twice a week? or is that a bad idea, just out of interest? I could work it like that routine but the fact of then not doing monday and doing tuesday would shift back to thursday then shoulders to saturday then legs? how would I keep that one up.

And my back kills me, I have no idea why, im thinking a trapped nerve so im going to go to the doctor and hopefully get some sort of determination of the cause. It's not bad all the time just when I lift weights or even if I run, I can't play football without getting a sore back from running about, weird eh?
