Is this a good routine?

Hey I've just started this routine about a month ago:
Monday-chest and triceps
Tuesday-back and biceps
Wednesday- legs and shoulders
Repeat and then rest Sunday
Does this seem pretty good? Any tips? Also I'm looking for more ways to lift back and my shoulders, any suggestions? Much appreciated.
 
I think doing that routine twice a week is too much. It doesn't allow much time for your body to recover. I would consider doing it just once a week and maybe seperating shoulders and legs on seperate days.
 
How bout Monday and Tuesday same, then Wednesday legs, Thursday shoulders, and Friday core then?

I would probably switch shoulders to Friday, and core to Thursday because on Monday and Tuesday your shoulders will be worked indirectly while you are doing chest and back. So giving your shoulders a good few days of rest before you do a shoulder day would be good I think.

My routine is as follows
Monday- Chest, back, 6 mile run
Tuesday- Core and sprint training
Wednesday- Legs, 6 mile run
Thursday- Arms, 6 mile run
Friday- Shoulders, sprint training
Saturday- Rest/Easy mountain hike with the wife
Sunday- Rest

For me this seems to be the ticket, I used to do a 3 day split 2 times a week but my body is responding better to the routine I posted. I do a lot of cardio because I race dirt bikes professionally, just locally now, and train other professional riders for fitness and riding. So I need to have very good cardio. I am not trying to put on as much size as possible, so my goals may be different than yours. But just take out the cardio and replace it with your own and you should be good to go!
 
^^^^ agree, ur killing ur T levels mate ! no need to b in the gym for 6 days when ur a natty .
 
I am doing the same routine as tegre1 is doing and I am doing it once a week but I am not getting any good result on my body there is no sign of development on my body my shoulders and muscles are the same size as they were. please suggest me if i should change my routine or suggest me a new routine.

Eat more, rest more.
 
Resting might have to do a lot with it. My shoulders never feel stronger and bench is very slowly increasing.. I stay up till about 11 and awake up from between 5-6.. I'll start sleeping in more see if that helps at all, thanks everyone.
 
Definitely need more rest you could try
Mon- chest/tris
Tue- legs
We'd- off
Thurs- shoulders
Fri- back/bis
Sat- off
Sun-off

Then add some core and calf work 2x a week along with cardio at least 3x wk
