Hi All
I am currently training 5 days a week,please let me know if this split is ok.
Thanks

Mon...Chest,tris, abs &calfs

Tues...Back & Foreams

Wed....Legs, abs & calfs

Thurs...Bi's

Fri.....Shoulders abs & calfs

Sat & Sun...off

I have very week calfs and want some abs by summer,that is why I train them 3-times a week

Also is it ok to do legs following a back day (deadlifts)

Train 4 days a week and do a upper body/lowerbody split training mon/tue thurs/fri

Mon...Chest

Tues...Back

Wed....Legs

Thurs...Shoulders

Fri.......Arms

What he said ^^^^^

The more I do splits, the more I find myself wanting to go back to hitting more bodyparts per session with fewer sets and more frequency. An upper/lower 2x/week split does this perfectly.

You may find your legs are too sore for this, especially hamstrings. I would leave 24 hrs between deads and legs.

as a suggestion zebedy why dont you do back widening exercises on tuesday like wide grip pulldown/up, lat pulldowns etc and then do back thickening exercise on the friday?
also, i dont understand why you have got deadlifts with arms? youd probably be better of eliminating that day and doing 4 day split like cookie said.
