So instead of killing myself every MWF I plan on splitting things up.
Plan on doing something like this:
M-Triceps, chest
T-Biceps, back
W-Abs,legs
R-Triceps, Chest
F-Biceps, back
I usually just use the machines at LA Fitness. What kinda exercises do y'all usually do for these groups??

Thats the split I do...but only once a week
Tris - dips, pull downs, and the thing where you put a bar behind your head and lift up
chest - flat bench, incline bench, flys
back - isolateral rows, regular rows, pullups
biceps - bicep curls with dumbells, then with curved bar, and the seated one
legs - leg press, leg curls, leg extensions,seated calf raises
abs -p90x

i work out 1 major muscle group a day because more recovery time and for instance if you do chest and tri's then, if you do a tri exercise first, when you go to lift chest your tri's arent fresh and its less likely that you will be able to do the most reps vs if you were just lifting chest alone (or vice versa). just my theory and .02.
mon-bi's/forearm
tues- chest/shoulder
wed- legs
thur- tri's/forearm
fri- back/shoulder
hows that workin for u?
its working..I can tell, but I need to push my chest workout harder. I might move it to a separate day. I might start jnobles06's split. My triceps get a hell of a workout on chest/tri day and I think its not allowing my full chest workout.

what you may want to do is do chest/tris one day then do tris/chest the other day..
Was talking to a buddy and said u have to change it up and put the body in shock

We do a rolling schedule where we hit one group twice a week.
week 1
mon - chest
tue - legs
wed - arms
thurs - back/shoulders
fri - chest
week 2
would hit legs mon/friday and keep the same rotation...keep moving to the next group.

Matt, that looks like my split with a day off in the middle. You'll like it a lot more that way if you can stay on track and in the gym! Dont forget shoulders...
