Changing from 6 day to 5 day split?

[FuriousWO]

Ive been doing a 6 day split similar to Tileguys workout and I really like the volume I can put toward a single body part but I dont feel that Im getting enough frequency. Id like to hit my chest, legs, back and abs more. I think shoulders and arms get hit plenty the rest of the week. Im leaning toward a 5 day split with some additional work on targeted areas. Also with my current work schedule Ive been having a hard time making it 6 days in a row, so a 5 day split gives me 5 days on/1 off. That 7th day I might use as an off day in the middle of the week or not use it and just start again from the top. I welcome any feedback or modifications.

Currently Doing
Day 1 - Chest
Day 2 - Back
Day 3 - Shoulders
Day 4 - Arms
Day 5 - Upper Leg
Day 6 - Lower Leg/Abs
Day 7 - off

Im thinking about moving to something not very different but adding an additional compound movement when possible to each day for a body part that I'll work again in 2-3 days

Day 1 - Chest/Abs
Day 2 - Back/Squats&Leg Press
Day 3 - Shoulders/Abs
Day 4 - Arms/Inc bench
Day 5 - Legs (upper and lower)/Some kind of row
Day 6 - Off
Day 7 - floater day or restart from the top

In more detail this would look like this. I do all my workouts with a target of 4-5 sets, 5-8 or 8-10 reps depending on weight. I also do a light warm up set when its a new muscle group

My split is very similar to this. Been working great. The two idle days are focused on rest and diet.

I've been traveling so much for work that I've been struggling to make it 6 days I a row and that ends up driving me crazy when I miss. Thanks @ebkallday

Here is the 5 days split I am doing now furious, may give you some ideas. I do like the split you have set up.
-Chest/shoulder pump day/calves
-arms/abs
-legs(quads/hams)
-heavy chest/shoulders/triceps/5-10 sets of back/calves
-off
-back/hams/abs
-off
-repeat

Here's my current split..

Day 1 Back/abs

Day 2 Quads

Day 3 Chest

Day 4 Hamstrings/calves/abs

Day 5 Shoulders

Day 6 Arms

Day 7 rest

This spilt had been good to me... I really like splitting my legs up. I can destroy quads and not have to hold back for hams... Each body part gets extra work indirectly throughout the week.

My current split is Push, Push, Pull,

Day 1 Chest Shoulders Triceps
Day 2 Legs
Day 3 Back Biceps
Day 4 Chest Shoulders Triceps
Day 5 Legs
Day 6 Back biceps
Day 7 rest
repeat.

Every 8 Weeks I start the week off with a different body part, in 2 weeks I'll be starting Legs, Chest Shoulders Triceps, Back Biceps.
