I used to do the typical split (back/bi's, chest/tri's, legs/shoulders), but switched to crossfit a while back. I'm not here to hype crossfit, but I have had great results. Instead, why not look to incorporate olympic lifts into your routine? Snatches and cleans&jerks. Barbell work such as shoulder press, push press, split jerks, front squats, dead lifts, etc. You will see huge gains quickly. There is a reason they say "you want to bench more, start squatting." Also don't underestimate bodyweight movements such as dips, pull ups, push-ups, air squats. Easy to incorporate at the end of a workout to cash out.

Just another opinion, but do what is best for you. Give something new a shot and you may be surprised. Cleans, snatches and deadlifts are my favorite, while I know my weakness is overhead work.
