Actually I was using a 4 day split up untiil about a month or so ago. Then switched to a 3 day. Here's my current routine.
All exercises are done at 4 sets of 4-6
Monday - Chest & Shoulders
Incline DB Press
Weighted Dips
Upright Rows
Lateral Raise
Rear Delts
Wednesday - Legs
Squats
Leg Press
Straight Leg Deadlifts
Puke
Friday - Back
Wide Grip Chins
Wide Grip Pulldowns
Hammer Strength Low Row
Cable Row
Standing Calve Raise
And on Sundays I do sprints at a local track. Hopefully soon my knees will be able to recover faster and I can do them 2x a week instead of just once. The sprints are new - I'm following a tip from IronLion - and they are really cool.
Actually I've gotten a LOT of tips from different people on this board. Whenever I feel like skipping a workout I just log onto here and read for a few minutes and I'm all pumped and ready to go.
Big thanks to all of you guys!

Well done on you rprogress so far, good job!
You might find that you get some nice extra size if you replaced either chins or pulldowns with Deadlifts, I dont think you need both in the same session.
Also, no pressing for shoulders? Do you feel they get too hard during chest for that?
Is there a reason for bunching your training up to Mon, Tues and Wed?

Hey FatRat - thanks for the input.
I would love to do Deadlifts but unfortunately they not an option for me. They are the one exercise that is Guaranteed to mess up my back. I have a lumbar and mid thoracic injury that's very picky about what it lets me do. I wish more than anything I could undo that.
No pressing on shoulders because right now I'm really trying to focus more on width in that area. Also having the weight over my head is not good for me cuz of the back. Eventually I'll prolly add these in and drop the rear delt work. Or move it to Wednesday as a finisher. I wanna stick with this setup for another month at least and then I'll change it around again.
I do the workouts on M-W-F because I absolutely LOVE working out on my lunch break. It makes my work day go by faster - gives me something to look forward to and then afterwards I know that the rest of the day I'm done. By the time I get off work at night I'm beat and have zero energy for lifting. And weekends are out because I'm usually out of town and hanging with my sedentary friends. Why do you ask about the timing of the workouts?
Anyway - prolly a lot more info than ya really cared for but there it is. Thanks again for the comments.
