Hi, im new to this site, been training for about 5 months 3 times a week.

Training Split;
Day 1 - Chest, Triceps, Legs, (Sometimes Bi's, depending how they feel)

Day 2 - Shoulders, Abs, Traps

Day 3 - Bi's, Back, (Sometimes light chest or abs, depending how they feel)
Ok, going from no squats and deadlifts to doing them with 25 total reps within 2 days of each other may be a lot for you to take. At least for a couple of weeks I'd go extremely light and work on your form. If your conditioning isn't up to snuff I'd address that.

IMHO, there's no rush. Another option to consider is a 2 day instead. Monday and Thursday's for the first few weeks until you can handle the regular schedule. You can lift while being a little tender, but if you're having enough muscle soreness that you're having trouble with the lifts and motivation as a whole, then I wouldn't bother going in.
