right here is the situation. I have free weights & bands i use for triceps,face pulls. so i am needing a new split.
I know the push pull workout but i want to try something else. also back & chest workout i find a bit much on one day. was thinking of

shoulders +triceps
Back+abs
off
chest+biceps
legs

i think shoulders+triceps will work better than say chest+triceps?

That's Yates split. I just used it this week. So many ways to do a split. One way isn't better than the other. 

The classic split:
Back and chest
legs
delt and arms

A variation on that:
Chest, tricep and bicep
legs
Back and delts

Four day split:
back
chest
legs
delt and arms

five day split:
back
chest
legs
delts
bicep and tricep

What works best for the majority of natural bodybuilders is the whole body routine. Limits the amount of variation of exercises but you can change your routine every two to three weeks. Works best with three to two days a week of working out.

Many ways to split up a routine.  I just put up a few common ones.

doing this one trained chest & arms yesterday.

A variation on that:
Chest, tricep and bicep

That's the split Yates used prior to his four way split. He used two sets to failure with the split you wrote instead of one. I trained using that split for about a decade and occasionally revisit it. Very common split.

homebodybuilding:
i only did two exercises for chest. Flat barbell press & Incline Flys.  5 sets each thatīs it. Ez Bar curls 5 sets, standing Tri bar french press(extensions).  concentrate on fewer exercises and work harder. why do lots of other fluff stuff when you can do the main exercise which gives the real results & do more sets on them? people feel they have to do 4/5 exercises for biceps why? stupid if you ask me. small muscle group. chest i think 3 exercises is enough. Flat, incline press with a fly (maybe). To quote franco columbu,I built my chest with flat, incline BB benches, other than various types of flys the other stuff is just fluff. I agree.
