What's everyone's workout split?

Hey all,
Just curious what everyone does for their workout splits? For me it's as follows

Sunday-legs
Squats, followed by accessory workouts based on what was the weak point on my squat (if it's my core I do good mornings, if it's my quads I'll do pin squats)

Monday-rest

Tuesday -chest
Bench press followed by some incline bench and other bodybuilding workouts

Wednesday-rest

Thursday-back/core
Deadlifts, rows, front squats, other bodybuilding stuff (lats, traps, etc.)

Friday-shoulders
Military press. Raises, one arm dumbell press (kinda like the strongman) followed by some cable stuff

Saturday-chest/arms
Close grip bench, skull crushers/curls, dumbell incline press, cables, incline barbell. I superset every workout with a curl variation, I like to superset my arms because the pump is unreal

I like to do power bodybuilding so any advice on my routine will be greatly appreciated and I look forward to reading your guys' workouts!
 
I do DC training, and it's high intensity low volume just 3 days per week....upper body, lower body split

I train DC too. It's done very well for me over the years. I just seem to recover and grow on a low volume, high intensity, higher frequency style setup such as this.

Depends on what time of year it is. For instance, this time of year I'm doing conventional/isolation training & CroSsFit. So I break it into push days, pull days and CF days. This is an example:
Monday - CrossFit
Tuesday - Push Day (chest, shoulders, triceps)
Wednesday - CrossFit
Thursday - Pull Day (back, biceps, traps, core)
Friday - CrossFit
I add supplemental leg training in if I don't feel they've been worked hard anough at CrossFit during the week, which rarely seems to be a problem.
 
I dont do conventional system where body parts are assigned a day of the week. I wake up and asses how sore I am, if I have enough motion for my next work out body part I train. If not, I take the day off. easy.
 
I've wanted to try lower frequency training but I love the iron, I get withdrawal symptoms if I don't go often haha
 
Usually changes on a week to week basis. I've found what always works best for me is either;
push/pull/legs/day off/
Push/day off/pull/day off/ legs some push pull/ 2days off
Push/pull/legs/push/pull some legs aswell
 
Currently I am doing a 3 month run of a modified Wendler 5/3/1 Split- I train hard 4 days a week focused on just a few lifts with some lighter accessory exercises, and 1 day is for smaller muscle groups that aren't as directly targeted by the bigger lifts. This would hinder progress if I was doing this solely for powerlifting, but I am currently doing a version more geared towards hypertrophy with strength focus.
I like to train Chest hard on Saturdays so I organized my days off so that it works out. I also do about 20-35 minutes of incline treadmill walking for cardiovascular health- around 3.5mph and 3% incline. I am progressing the second exercise after the primary at 50%, 60%, and 70% of my 1RM over the course of the 3 months I am doing this. Just about to start the second month.

Monday-
Smaller Muscle Group/Mirror Muscles- Traps, Arms, Forearms, calves, lower back (hyper extensions), etc.

Tuesday-
Active Rest

Wednesday:
OHP 5/3/1
Bench 5 sets of 10 reps
Row/Chin variation 5 sets of 10 reps
Curl variation
Tricep Pushdown variation
Facepulls

Thursday:
Deadlifts 5/3/1
Squats 5 sets of 10
Leg Extensions 3 sets of 10
Calves (seated) 3 sets of 15-20
Ab Roller 5x15

Friday:
Active Rest
Active Rest

Saturday:
Bench Press 5/3/1
OHP 5x10
Row/Pull down/Chin variation 5x10
Curl variation 3 x10
Tricep pushdown variation 3x10
Facepulls 3x10

Sunday:
Barbell Squats 5/3/1
Deadlifts 5x10
Leg Press 3x10
Leg Curls 3x10
Calves (standing/straight leg) 3x15-20
Hanging Leg Raise 5x10

I like to train like this (heavy) when I am off gear and when I am on, I will typically do more volume and higher rep work. I'll won't start another cycle until the Fall, so I am going to see how far I can push myself naturally so that when I do jump back on, I have either hit a stalling point or I have friggin earned the cycle gains, dammit. =P
