Monday - Back
Tuesday - Chest
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Bi's and Tri's
Friday - Shoulders
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off

what do you guys think?

What did the old one look like? Have you considered throwing shoulders in there with back or chest? You'd have 3 days rest that way.

I might do legs the first of the week when you are fresh.

I personally make every attempt to NOT do chest or arms at the beginning of the week. Most of the gyms I've been in are absolutely full on Mondays and Tuesdays when the chest/arms crowd is there, and much more empty the rest of the week. I try to give myself at least a 1 day rest between any exercises that work the same muscle, so I never do a tri workout or shoulder workout or chest workout on back-to-back days. I also like working out on the weekends, I'm plenty rested and have plenty of room in the gym. My current schedule is this:

Monday: off
Tuesday: back/shoulders
Wed: cardio/abs/calves
Thurs: bi/tri
Fri: off
Sat: legs
Sun: chest
