Question about workout days during a week

[kidvid]

Let's say for a hypothetical 4 day a week routine, how would that look over the span of a couple of weeks mapped out on paper?

Two possibilities come to mind.
1)
One would be to cycle the 3 muscle-group routine over and over. That would in in one week, chest/tricep would fall on Monday, and on another week, a Wednesday. Same for back/bicep, and same for legs: they would all fall on different days each week.
2)
Go through the 3 muscle group cycle once a week, and in order to get the other 1 or 2 workout days in, just do cardio those days. This would mean that I would do the same thing every day of the week.

Which is it?

Example of option #1
week1
1 Mon: chest/tricep/cardio (#1)
2 Tues: Back/Bicep/Shrug/Cardio (#2)
3 Wed: off
4 Thurs: off
5 Fri: Leg workout (#3)
6 Sat: off
7 Sun: chest/tricep/cardio (#4)
week2
1 Mon: Back/Bicep/Shrug/Cardio (#1, start the 3 muscle group rotation again)
2 Tues: off
3 Wed: Leg workout (#2)
4 Thurs: off
5 Fri: chest/tricep/cardio (#3)
6 Sat: off
7 Sun: Back/Bicep/Shrug/Cardio (#4)


Example of option #2
week1
1 Mon: chest/tricep/cardio (#1)
2 Tues: Back/Bicep/Shrug/Cardio (#2)
3 Wed: off
4 Thurs: off
5 Fri: Leg workout (#3)
6 Sat: off
7 Sun: Cardio (#4)[/B]
week2
1 Mon: chest/tricep/cardio (#1)
2 Tues: Back/Bicep/Shrug/Cardio (#2)
3 Wed: off
4 Thurs: off
5 Fri: Leg workout (#3)
6 Sat: off
