Do not hit the back and bis on the same day because back already over involves the bis
Also, hitting shoulders and tris on the same day may not give you a good tri workout, because iof you're working out hard, very very hard, then by the time you are done with your shoulders workout, your tris are already full and very hard.

You may want to consider one of these:
Sample 1:
Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Bi / Tri
Day 3: Back / Traps
Day 4: Legs
Day 5: Shoulders
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: Rest

Hmmm I like your sample one.
Do you think that hitting muscle groups once a week (but very hard) is ok? I mean, I was doing a three day cycle with one day rest and didn't feel sore at all. Also, do you think that even if I don't have a sore feeling muscle tissue is still re-growing?
Thanks!

yeah it probably is still regrowing, but your not working out hard enough if your not getting sore. Push yourself. I am sore after every workout, next day and sometimes 2 days after. If im not, I didnt do enough weight or intensity. just my opinion

I would say if you're not sore that doesnt matter. If you keep adding weight to your lifts, and you eat A LOT then you will continue to make gains. I dont get sore anymore and I make gains just fine. I train with BIG intensity and I am wiped out after my workouts.....
soreness is NOT any indicator of growth, and weight IS intensity.
To the OP, tell us about yourself. Stats, how long working out, what kind of training are you doing and have you done? High volume? High Intensity? Have you tried the 5x5? 3x5? Are you constantly adding weight to the bar each workout? How much have you progressed since you've been training?
I haven't tried the 5x5 or 3x5. I just turned 21 yesterday actually, have been training hard for about 2 years, but lifting on and off for 3. I would say for the first year and a half I constantly added weight on EVERYTHING besides bench ( I was always really strong on that). My workouts are high intensity. I try to span my lifting to do about 6-8 heavy reps for muscle groups.
the 5x5 (you can find it in the training vault info sticky at the top of this forum) is a good program that emphasises progression. Give it a look.

This program has you training the lifts that are important in a progressive manner. Minus all the fluff isolation garbage Joe Weider has tricked you into believing you need lol.
Follow this program as it is laid out and keep records of every session in a workout journal. You will be very surprised looking back on your progress after a while of training this way. Eat big and keep adding weight to the big lifts.
