I basicly copied arnolds routine for beginners in his book encyclopedia but tweaked it a bit because i have trouble with lower back.
Instead of chosing multiple exercises that hit same muscle i just do more sets eg more sets of bench press instead of dumbbell press or something.
Monday/Thursday
Chest/Back
Bench Press
pec deck or (cable crossovers, dumbbell flys)
Dumbbel rows
Lat pull downs
Abs
Tuesday/Friday
Shoulders/Arms
Seated barbell overhead press (soz if its wrong name)
Dumbbell lateral raises
Upright rows
superset #1
Close grip benchpress
Standing barbell curls
superset #2
Standing concentration curls (or seated? any dif?)
Tricep pushdowns
Abs
Wednesday/Saturday
LEGS
Squats
Circut
Leg extentions
Leg curls? (for hamstring)
calve press (using legg press machine)
Abs
would be 6 days on 1 off
thoughts?

Throw that in the trash, the only thing you'll gain on something like that is disappointment. Now there's nothing wrong with that 3 way split being done either three days a week, or rotated through four days a week. I think a Push/Pull/Legs is better balanced. Try training fullbody 3 days a week,or an upper/lower split done 4 days a week, and don't forget to add weight to the bar on top of eating and sleeping properly. Good luck.
