Where to put my shoulder workout in my routine...

[bran88]

I'm really happy with the routine I have going on right now, but feel like I should incorporate my shoulder workout somewhere in here:

Day 1: Chest/tris
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Back/bi/traps

Currently I have shoulders as a fourth day with abs and blower back every other day regardless.

first off bro whats your training split??

I would make day 4 like this

shoulder/lower back/abs

and this should be the only day for lower back.
You dont want to do lower back more than 2 days a week, and by doing abs and lower back together they counter work eachother(i thinks thats the world i'm looking for) so you get a great burn

Why not do this

Monday - Shoulder, tricep
Tuesday - Back (including traps and lower back)
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Chest, Biceps
Friday - Legs
Saturday & Sunday - rest

Well I do abs/lower back together about 3 times a week.

Let me rephrase my routine.

Day 1: Chest/tris
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Back (not lower)/bis/traps
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Shoulders
Day 6: Rest

Repeat...

And I do abs and lower back every other day regardless. I'm just trying to see if I can consolidate shoulders somewhere else.

(A) Chest/Shoulders/Tris
(B) Quads/Hams/Calves
(C) Back/Bis/Forearms

Pick two separate routines for each day using one or two different compound exercise for each body part. Rotate through each training day on a four day split. keep a log book and either add weight to the bar or reps to each exercise every workout. When you fail to add weight or reps to any exercise two workouts in a row, switch out that exercise. An example of who the split would work.

Week 1

Monday : A1 Chest/Shoulders/Tri

Tuesday : B1 Quads/Hams/Calves

Thursday : C1 Back/Bis/Forearms

Friday : A2 Chest/Shoulders/Tris (Alternate exercise selection)


Week 2

Monday : B2 Quads/Hams/Calves (Alternate exercise selection)

Tuesday : C2 Back/Bis/Forearms (Alternate exercise selection)

Thursday : A1 Chest/Shoulders/Tris

Friday : B1 Quads/Hams/Calves

and on and on.....

you could do some standing presses on day 1 and high pulls or rack pulls on day 3. that should fire the delts pretty good.
