As the title what is your training split? How do you break your training down each day during the week? Love reading what others do.

As far as me this is mainly what I stick to most of the time
Mon- SQ/DL, Legs, Abs
Wed- Bench, Shoulders, Triceps
Fri- Back, Biceps, Grip

1 squat day
1 deadlift day
at least 1 bench day (sometimes 2 because my bench sucks)
1 shoulder day
1 back day

On bench days I might do some tricep work; on back days I might do some bicep work. I really only do about 8 exercises for the most part; squats, deads, bench, shoulder presses, rows, pulldowns, shrugs and sometimes I throw in tricep pressdowns and/or bicep curls.

This is my split:

Mon - Bench/ Squat/ Accessory Lifts
Wed - Deadlift/ OHP/ Accessory Lifts
Fri - Squat/ Bench/ Accessory Lifts
Sat - Deadlift/ Accessory Lifts (Joint Health)

I have a speed day, volume day, heavy day, and my Sat is a technique day for comp. pulls.

I will do lighter phases of bbing stuff and that split is different. But my Pling split is a bit bizarre but out of necessity.

Monday
Bench assist
Upper back

Tuesday
Squat variant heavy
Deadlift variant light

Thursday
Bench variant heavy
Shoulder work

Friday
Deadlift variant medium
Squat variant light

The further from a meet the less comp lifts I use and light variants are accessories. As a meet dials in so does exercise selection.

My typical week...

Sunday = OFF
Monday = Heavy bench w/ accessories
Tuesday = Squat w/ accessories
Wednesday = OFF
Thursday = Light Bench and Shoulders
Friday = Deadlifts w/ accessories
Saturday = OFF

I use to start the week off with Squats, but having bench the next Day was killing my Elbow and forearms. So I switched them and it made a world of difference.

That's one issue that I'm always plagued with... benching after squat. I bench and squat on the same day. Flossing constantly has helped some with that issue.
