you can use they same plit but give shoulders it's own day..
my old split
mon chest/bis/abs
tue legs
thu back/traps
fri shoulder/tris
i liked this split bc it gives max recovery to main muscles and secondary muscles. if you want a different split then that. you can check out bodybuildingpro.com and look at all different splits.

You can try 2/2 split by hitting UB and LB twice a week:
M & Th - Hit all UB parts and train with heavy weights. My schedule used to be like this:
Chest: FB Press - 4 sets
IB - 3 sets
FB or IB Flys - 3 sets
Back: Lat pulldowns or Pullups - 4 sets
Seated Rows or DB Rows - 3 sets
Shoulders: Military Press - 4 sets
Side Laterals - 3 sets
Front or Rear Raises - 3 sets
Bi's: BB Curl - 4 sets
DB Curls or Preacher Curls - 3 sets
Tri's: Skull Crushers (EZ Bar) - 3 sets
Single Arm DB Ext or Cable Pressdowns - 3 sets
Because you would be hitting major BP first (chest & back), by the time you are to start with shoulders and arms, your muscles are already pre-exhausted. So 2 exercises for arms should be enough.
Then you could do LB as follows:
T-F: LEGS
Free Rack Squats - 4 sets
Leg Press - 3 sets
Deadlifts - 4 sets
Extensions - 3 sets
Curls - 3 sets
Standing Calf Raises - 3 sets
Seated Calf Raises - 3 sets
You can do it for 4-6 weeks and see if this split would work for ya. Then you can switch to training only 1 BP per week, doing something like this:
M - Back
T - Legs
W - Off
Th - Shoulders/Bi's
F - Chest/Tri's
Hope this was helpful!
