I am trying to put together a split program which focuses on building muscle mass (size). I am trying to form a monday-friday program with no rest, each muscle group twice a week.
I choose twice a week for each muscle group due to research i have compiled, best frequency for size. Please give me your opinion on this.

The musle groups i am trying to sort out are chest, back, legs, biceps, triceps, shoulders.(2week each)
Please add them to the table below and explain why they are placed were they are, like chest should never be placed after shoulders due to shoulders being a secondary muscle group when doing chest.

Mon-
Tue-
Wed-
Thur-
Fri-

Also should i split arms into to biceps and triceps? again this split routine is fixed on size.
Please stick to mon-fri i can only workout those days.

Hi Brandon,

How long have you been training?
As you surely already heard:

Focus on Basic and compound exercises and eat well.

I don´t want to be a cookie cutter ass, but whats up with that?:

I have been training for about 2-3 years seriously, though on and off, starting in mid june i will be working out regularly.

Thanks for the link, if you look at what i do right now its sorta similar in a way, its hard for me to do everything at once with heavy weight, by the time i reach shoulders i can hardly lift any weight because of chest. Also my grip strength weakens ALOT over the period of my workout.

My biggest issue was my routine getting more complex and using heavy weights, think its time to do splits.

Well regarding frequency,also read also this:

Regarding your efford:

If you do a split routine and you power yourself out on the first exercise, you probably have no energy left for the other ones. Same problem here.

Try to work with sets across: Use the same weight for all sets and slowly build up from there. No need to hit failure. With this you will have energy left for other exericeses too.

Just 2-3 sets per exercise. If you feel good that day, go for 3. You can do one set of the isolation exercises too. Or just skip the isolation.

Have a protein shake during your workout or eat a high carb meal before workout.

And you don’t have to hit every body part twice a week. you can pick a weaker body part and hit just that twice a week.
