Thats what i was doing up until now (minus the strongman stuff). But i want to bring my bis and back to another level. So i brought back to the first day after 2 days of rest and give it its one day, bump the volume and then do biceps with chest when they are fresh and can use heavier weights.

After the holidays I'm going back to

M/W/F = upper body

Tues/Sat = lower body

right now its:

Day 1: upper body
Day 2: lower body
Day 3: rest or cardio (who am I kidding - it's almost always a rest day)

I like this because I can move that rest day anywhere in the sequence.

I know this is not a common split but I'm stronger than ever and bigger than I've ever been in my life

these 2 and 3 way splits seem to be getting very popular lately. Once i start training seriously I'm gonna do a 6 day week split like wes. I like your split to and it would give a good combination of strength and mass. I just never can stick to that training one muscle a day shit it dont even feel like training to me.

Delts/tris/traps
back/rear delts
off
chest/bis
legs
off
repeat

yeah, I've been doing upper body/lower body split for about 3-4 months now and I love it

It's also good because if you need to skip a day here or there you're not really messing up your schedule too bad and you're not short changing any muscle group and, like you, I can't imagine going to back to training each muscle group 1x per week

Also, each day of the week is a different exercises so I never feel stale or burned (yet)

Lately Ive been missing some days..

When I cant go to the gym.. I always try to miss small bparts like arms or delts.

I never skip big muscle groups (back, legs, chest)..

My current split is:

chest/side delts/front delts

back/rear delts/traps

rest

legs

arms

Something like this with ab/forearms/calves work thrown in there.

My split stays the same....  Chest+back
                                        off
                                        legs
                                        off
                                        shoulders arms
                                        off
                                        off 
only thing i will do is work harder on my cardio.  gonna be running with an ex army mate so i will be hurting as he is more a runner but will also start training with him in my home gym and as he is not a gym guy i will make sure he pays...lol

I'd give biceps at least one day rest after back no matter how good your form is

Wes, why are you going back to training each bp 1x per week ?

Just gonna` train each bodypart 2 X a week during contest prep.....this way I`m in and out of the gym much faster and I have plenty of time left to do a little cardio.
