Frank Zane's 9-to-5 workout from Iron Man

Iron Man magazine has a new workout sequence that I'm going to follow for a while:

Week 1
Monday: Push
Tuesday and Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Legs
Friday and Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Pull

Week 2
Monday and Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Push
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Pull
Sunday: Rest

Week 3
Repeat week 1

Push workouts consist of working chest, shoulders, and triceps. Pull workouts consist of working back and biceps. I'll throw in abs here and there. As you'll notice, you never workout on a Tuesday or a Friday.

I'll vary the exercises and see how this works. The only problem I see is the back to back workouts on week two. I always like a day between workouts, but I'll take the two days off in  a row offered by this routine. We'll see how this works.
