Chest workouts holding back my triceps?

[epark84]

I've been doing the 5X5 routine for the past few weeks and have progressed for my large muscle groups nicely. My current split is Chest/Tri, Back/Bi, Shoulder/Leg. The problem is that after doing intense chest workouts, I have little left to get a good tricep workout, hence there has been a lack of progression and growth in my triceps. I understand that triceps and chest work together, so is my current split okay as long as by the end of the day my triceps are tired? Or should I change my routine in a way so that I can work my tris harder? Thanks a lot

D7 rest or repeat

Lords got it right, work opposing muscle groups push/pull

Lord_Suston's is a good split for 5x5.

With "regular" reps and sets you could get away with it but if you are doing 5x5 then 2x8-10, 2x8-10 on your Tri's after Chest for example, I think you are overtraining them

FYI, im on:

Mon - Legs
Tues - Chest
Wed - Rest
Thurs - Shoulders / Back
Fri - Bi / Tri

thanx for all the help. Fatrat, wanted to ask, how is it doing bi/tri on the same day? isn't it tough b/c they are opposite motions?
