homebody workout plan

my wife recently started working second shift, which leaves me home with the kids all week. I have a pretty good free weight setup in the basement. I am going to try to do just one bodypart one night per week. Mon-chest tues-bis weds-legs thurs-shoulders fri-back sat-tris. I might sneak into the gym on Sunday and maybe squat or deadlift (i don't have enough weight to squat or dl heavy at home). I'm thinking that I can really turn up the intensity on my workouts because of the length of them. Prolly just 5-6 sets per bodypart. Is there any benefit in REALLY spreading out the sets (go do a set, go read with the kids, go do a set 20 mins later, etc..) I mean I have all night to burn. I just tried an HST cycle with pretty good success, but want to give this a shot. Anyone do anything similar?
 
im nearly in the same situation.... home gym with free access to a Golds if im inclined to lift 'socially'LOL.
i personally dont like to idea of lifting, taking a break, lifting, break, ETC...you see the trend here.
get the kids settled. then get your lift on!!

lifting at home by yourself can often be a challenge. you wont have a spotter or anyone pushing you. keeping your workouts intense, rest to a minimum (just enough to recover), and lifting to meet your workout goals is what needs to be focused on.
you dont want to waste time getting your muscles warm, and then having to break to tend to children...muscles get cold here. ALWAYS avoid lifting cold. especially when lifting alone. you dont want to cause yourself injury. listen to your body.

so begin after the kids are down for the day/evening so you can concentrate on your muscles!! its difficult to stay within your lifting limits for safety when lifting alone, and making progress.
dont let the AAS push.
stay safe, lift hard.
best of luck.
