2 day split

    After a few weeks trying a full body routine which concentrated on compound exercises I've decided to break it up into a split programme. This is mainly due to time constraints as it was simply taking too long to do everything in the one session and leaving me little or no time for cardio.

    My idea was to split the routine into:
    day 1 - back + shoulders + triceps
    Squats, barbell rows, lat pulldowns, military press, shrugs, dips

    day 2 - legs + chest + biceps
    squats, good mornings, some calf work, bench press, barbell curls

    with core exercises (abs, hyperextensions, etc) and some cardio on both days

    I'm trying to increase strength in all exercises and I plan to do these exercises twice a week( routine 1 - Monday, Thursday; routine 2 - Tuesday, Friday)

    Am I insane? Would this work? Ideas and comments welcome.

    You'd be better off with a three day split, Try Day 1 chest and arms, day 2 back and shoulders and day 3 legs and if you feel up to it maybe a second leg day.

    id suggest a "push-pull" routine, ie to the psuh muscles, chest, shoulders, triceps one day and the pull muscles, back, biceps the other and maybe legs on the pull day too
