One large muscle group and one small muscle group per day, followed by a rest day. Doesn't make much difference which ones you chose or in what order. Legs get their own day also.

I switched from training opposing muscle groups, like bi/tri to this for the last couple of months:

Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Shoulders/Triceps
Day 3: Back/Biceps
Day 4: Legs

And just keep repeating it with usaully one day off somewhere. This keeps me at 48-72 hrs rest between muscle groups. I always work largest muscle groups first, e.g. shoulders before triceps.

I am not try to flame but you need at least a off day in there somewhere. maybe after your Chest workout have an off day. but everyhitng thing looks good

You say you are new. If that is the case I wouldnt do a split routine just yet.

I got this intermediate workout online and it works fine for me (I just need to add more core and squat assistance work in there!). It's a three-day split. I usually do it M, W, F. I later realized that it is based on the three powerlifting lifts - the squat, the benchpress and the deadlift. Most articles I've read say beginners should start with 3 total-body routines each week. However, I don't know why or how true that is.

day 1 - Legs
squat
leg press
stiff-legged deadlift
(calf raises are also suggested for this day)
rotator cuff rehab

day off

day 2 - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
bench press
(overhead presses and dips are also suggested here - I don't do them)
close-grip bench press
lateral delt raises
posterior delt raises (sometimes on back day)
ab crunches
rotator cuff rehab

day off

day 3 - back/biceps
deadlift (every other week - alternate with good mornings)
close-grip lat pulldown
Yates rows
bicep curls
posterior delt raises (sometimes)
back hyperextensions (unless I did good mornings)
rotator cuff rehab

back tris, shoulders

legs, hams

pretty basic stuff. add weight when I can...blah blah

I do the exact same thing. I mix up the upper body once every few months. But generally, that's what I do. No point in making it complicated...it aint rocket surgery.

Right now I'm on a three day split. Very basic movements

Day 1. Legs (squats, leg press, stiff deads, leg curls, calf raises)
Day 2. Chest/Arms (bench, incline, hammer curls, reverse curls, skull crushers, press downs)
Day 3. Rest
Day 4. Back/shoulders (deads, Shrugs, rows, chins, overhead press, side laterals)
Day 5. Rest
