trying to fit it all into 3 days with new routine
right guys I need some help with a new training split due to the fact I'm joining army reserves, so due to this I only have Monday Tuesday and Thursday free now to fit all my training in, most of my training on drill nights(army) consists of running and various other circuits, so when I try do legs(which I manage next day but struģgle) it's hell, I've been doing chest and bi's Monday, back and tri's Tuesday, army training Wednesday, legs And shoulders Thursday, Friday have to take my son to cricket and weekend are a no go except when I get up early to do abs, also im running twice a week on top of the army training,
now my biggest issue is my shoulder training is suffering due to being totally shagged after all of it and just can't be arsed and strength on shoulders is dropping, can any give me and sensible do able new training plan or even tell me if my leg routine(squats, leg extensions, lunges, hams (good mornings) calf raises, leg press) is to much and should reduce due to the amount of running in now doing.
cheers in advance

well guys bit of an update I took all on board and this is my new training setup, also cheers for help
mon. chest/quads/20-30 mins light running
Tues back/hams/calfs
weds. army drill night, so some pt and military training
Thurs. shoulders/arms/traps
Sat, abs and 1.5 mile run
cheers guys gives me some ideas
Another way to look at this:
Day1 - pull exercises
Day2 - push exercises
Day3 - legs
Can’t go wrong, you can definitely progress on this routine, considering of course on what you do on the other days
Monday - upper
Tuesday - lower
Thursday - FBW
or
Monday - push+ quads
Tuesday - pull + hams
Thursday - FBW
or
Monday - push
Tuesday - legs
Thursday - pull
just examples
RustyhookerSounds like youre doing plenty. Reserves will be rugged im sure.
Cram it all in is the question? Youre a dad. As a single dad i was up at 5 and in bed 1am next day. Its just hectic. If kids are big enough...take em with ya.
Shoulder injured?
shoulders are better now it's just I've got no enthusiasm when the weeks drawing to a close, it's just disheartening loosing the strength I've gone from comfortably shoulder pressing 55kg dbs to 40kg dbs feeling like hard work but I don't wanna give up on the army or my training, do you think my legs setup is ok or do you recommend any adjustments,
RustyhookerI wouldnt stress too hard on strength as you go into boot camp. All the running they do will shed off the mass. Id look at endurance. Plus when you are in the field with full pack and armor, you want to be able to move. The chest armor is about 30lbs. Fill with magazines, ammo, side arm etc...
