I am looking for a new routine and i am a little confused as to which bodyparts are best to work together. One person says work bi's/tri's together, another one says chest/shoulders/triceps. I would like some input on what works and why. Here is what ive come up with, please feel free to critique!!

Day 1: Chest/shoulders/triceps

Day 2: Quads/hams/calves

Day 3: Back/biceps/abs

Ive been doing basically upper and lower body b/c i was going to someones house to workout, but now i got a new gym membership and want to really get serious!! Im also wondering about cardio? I am a female 5ft.3, 116lbs bf about 17%. I want to lose a little fat, but mostly just get more cut. What do you think??? Thanks!!!!

If ya wanna get cut then you might wanna do alot of cardio. Treadmill, exercise bike, rower, and even those weird looking nordic track things. Anything to get the heart beat up is good.

Do 25-30 minutes of intense carb 3-4 days a week right when you wake up on an emty stomach. Eat 1 gram protein per body lb. Very low fat diet, supplement a healthy fat substance like flaxseed oil though. Also get low carbs, you wanna have more grams of protein than anything else

I don't like doing tri with chest and back with bi because I think you hit your arms too much. Plus I can't do a proper bi workout after doing back.

I've always found this and so I do tri with back and bi with shoulders.

I think it looks pretty sound.I would do this split on mon/wednesday/friday and cardio on your off days.Keep the diet clean and you should see results after a month or two.Good luck.

Do abs on leg days instead of back days. You're already working your abs indirectly from doing squats and leg press.
