I used this split for quite a while when I was new to Powerlifting:
Mon: Squat & Supp training
Wed: Bench & Supp training
Fri: Deadlift & Supp training

A split routine training system involves breaking up a resistance training program by movement patterns or muscle groups to be trained on separate days of the week. A split routine is a popular training format with strength and mass-dominant athletes such as bodybuilders, football players, shot putters, etc.An example of a two-day body part split routine would be to train chest, shoulders, and triceps on Monday and back,biceps, and legs on Thursday. An example of a four-day split routine divided between upper and lower body would be to train upper body on Monday and Thursday and lower body on Tuesday and Friday with a rest day on Wednesday.It is apparrent that split routine programs can come in all types and sizes and that numerous variations can be implemented.

Insanity and Body Beast. I took two full minutes off my 2 mile run in just three weeks with nothing but Insanity. Then I put on 9 pounds of muscle at 46 with Body Beast.
BTW, I work with an Active Duty Army Captain who competed in Vegas a few weeks ago. He set the World Record in Dead Lifting... 700 pounds.

I'm pretty much always doing HITT. Just about everything I do is weights and cardio. When I am in a lifting program it varies because I like to use muscle confusion like that in P90X. So my splits vary. Otherwise I use, Back - bis/Cardio, Chest - Tris/Legs.

For me, it is running, walking, and hiking with a 45-55 lb. pack in the mountains. My hikes are between 5 and 10 miles; runs are more of a jog for 5 km; walking, with stairs, on off days. I am 56 and may be more fit than I was on active duty.
