Question about back and legs being close toghether....

[EmptyWallet]

So far, this is my split:

Sunday - OFF
Monday - Chest/Tri
Tuesday - Back/Abs/Cardio
Wed - OFF
Thursday - Bi's/Abs/Cardio
Friday - Shoulders/Traps
Saturday - Legs

I'm fixing to start working all day long on Saturdays, and I'll be on my feet all day, and doing legs and working all day DOES NOT agree with me. I'll be bartending all day long. I'm thinking of sticking it on another day, or switching it like this:

Sunday - OFF
Monday - Chest/Tri
Tuesday - Back/Abs/Cardio
Wed - OFF
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Shoulders/Traps
Saturday - Bi's/Abs/Cardio

HOWEVER, I do squats on leg day and I do Deads on Back day. My concern is deads make my back really really sore, and I'd be concerned while Im doing squats and other various leg exercises, I may get too much stimulation on my back and start overtraining it. I could do it like this however:

Sunday - OFF
Monday - Back/Abs/Cardio
Tuesday - Chest/Tri
Wed - OFF
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Bi's/Abs/Cardio
Saturday - Shoulders/Traps

But then shoulder and trap day would be close to back, more overlap. Hmmmm, perhaps maybe I'm getting too worried about overlap and overtraining?

try shoulders after chest, and why devote a whole day for biceps? do them on back day. so now u really only lift weights mon tue thur, why not make it mon wed fri if u can to space it out best. i do squats monday, bench and side laterals (and triceps) on wed, and deadlift/rows (and some curls) friday. similar to pullinbig;'s routine on the deadlift sticky (page 6). i found that a day of shoulders just overtrains them, they get hit hard on bench day (front head) and deadlifts hit the rear head. side laterals hit the medial head (after benching). try it that way instead. also ur lifting 5 days/week, i dont know but that would be too much for most people if youre training hard.
