How to better split up my workout?


This is what I'm doing now.

Day 1 - Chest
Incline, Decline or flat Dumbbell or Bench press.
Shoulder + Tri exercises to finish

Day 2 - Legs
Squats, Deadlifts, Leg Press, Abductor machine

Day 3- Back and Bis
Wide and close grip bar curls, weighted rowing, bar pull downs

My problem is with my chest/tri/shoulder day. Theres just too much to work out. If i do tris/shoulders first, im too tired for chest. If I do chest first, Im too tired for shoulders/tris. Is there a better way to split this up or is it a bad idea to workout tris and shoulders on any day different than chest? If i had an extra day this wouldnt be a problem, but 3 a week is really all I can do right now.

How about performing workouts for your tri's on day 2? A reason you may tire so soon on chest day is that your triceps have already been worked-out and theres nothing left in them to support the weights for your chest exercises.

By splitting them up, you may find you are able to workout both your tris and chest in the week with maximum effect.

Yea, that might work. My tris get indirectly worked on Day 1 so I was always hesitant about working them out directly on the other days, since dont want to mess with the rebuilding.
