Need a bit of help

[GreenEggsnHam]

Hey guys I need help choosing what 3 day split would probably work best for me between these two routines. Im 6'0 160lbs, and want to gain muscle mass. I have the hardest time gaining chest muscle. I also have boxing training 3x per week which is pretty much all cardio and bodyweight exercises, so I really want to be careful and not overtrain.

Mon: Chest/Back
Wed: Shoulders/Legs
Fri: Arms

~OR~

Mon: Chest/Tri
Wed: Back/Bicep
Fri: Shoulders/Legs

I heard that Chest/Tri is good for not indirectly hitting other muscles, which can lead to overtraining. But I also heard that if you're doing only 1 body part per week it can start to shrink before the next time to do it comes around. And by doing the Chest/Back split you will indirectly hit chest while doing triceps. Just enough to keep it from shrinking, before you blast chest again the following Monday

This is the answer bro. You will grow like crazy provided you are eating a caloric surplus. Good luck.
