I have been doing wondering what splits people like?

Im currently using.
Chest/ Back
Shoulders / bis
Legs / tris / abs

Only thing my volume has increased a little and I can go to the gym 2 times a day I wished I had that much time so when I do back and chest Im exhausted and Legs too they wear me out.
I heard Dorian Yates say that he would do back and legs all by them selves so got me think(not always a good idea). to try something else out like:

Chest / bis
Shoulders / tris
back
legs

Only thing is I dont like a 4 day routine I prefer a 3 day but it seems to be tons more work...
Any suggestions what you like?

i only have a little over 30 mins for my workout so only do one body part each day except for arms.
currently it is like this
m-legs, t-bis, tris, shoulders, w-off, th-back, f-chest

but starting in about 3 weeks or so it is going to
m-shoulders and tris, t-back, w-off, th-legs, f-chest and bis

recovery time is key to growth!!!

I train EOD..

I do something like this.

Quads
chest
back
Hamstrings/abs/calves
Shoulders

I dont do much direct arm work but if I do, I add some biceps with shoulders and triceps with chest, OR I add a whole day in there of tris and bis.

I will take an extra day off if needed, especially if I feel like my shoulders or low back need it before a workout that will heavily involve them.

As far as the arm day I usually at most will do arms once about every 5 weeks or so.

I like a four day split, sometimes I hit everything once a week and its
Monday- chest/bi's
Tuesday-legs
Wednesday off
Thursday- shoulders/tri's
Friday-back/traps
weekend-off
Other times I like to hit everything twice a week and I do the old school push/pull with chest/shoulders/ tri's monday and thursday and legs/ back/ bi's on tuesday and friday.

Day 1 - Chest, Bi's, Tri's, cardio if I'm not in a rush
Day 2 - Off or cardio
Day 3 - Shoulders, Legs
Day 4 - Back, Bi's, Tri's, cardio if I'm not in a rush
Day 5 - Off or cardio
Day 6 - Shoulders, Legs
Day 7 - Off or cardio

And so on!!! I just changed to this, will remain on this for 4 - 5 weeks then switch it up.

ive found my favorite to be 2 on 1 off, 2 on two off

been doing..
Sunday - Legs
Monday- Chest and Triceps
Tuesday- off
Wednesday- Back and Biceps
Thursday- Shoulders
Friday and Saturday - off

Been working well. I do power lifting training routines for squat and dead lift so i space them out as far as i can so that i can be sure to not have sore hamstrings and quads and whatnot while dead lifting later in the week

may switch things up in the future, but this setup seems to be working pretty well for me as of now.
