Training 5 days consecutively you are always going to get overlap to some
degree, eg triceps hit 3 days of 5 on the above!

Why bother splitting workouts to such a degree. You'll not get any benefit
compared to grouping more body part together and having an extra night at
home with the wife/kids or doing a bit of cardio or outdoor pursuit or
whatever.

I like(d) grouping chest, shoulders and Biceps together as your biceps are
fresh and strong, likewise back and Triceps. No need for a whole session
on arms, you'll only make for a non productive workout when you come to do
back as Biceps will still be recovering.

Have a play around, It won't take long before you know what previous
workout is hindering a subsequent one.

Other opinions may vary, none will be 100% right for you, only you will be
able to work that one out through trial & error.

the good thing about the 5 days was that it didnt interfer with my home life
as i train usually betweeen 1pm-2pm and if the mood takes me usually go
straight home after, depending on my work load
