My training split for a lagging chest

[Mr_Pincushonass]

mon- Chest only (To kick the shit out of it)
tues- Back/Biceps/forearms
wed- Shoulders/Triceps
Thurs- Rest
fri- Chest only (Also to kick the shit out of it)
sat- Legs

Should I change something, because it sounds good to me. What do you think?

i don't like doing back and biceps the same day, that is 2 pulls in the same day, back and triceps, pull push,
chest and biceps push pull, and same week chest by itself
shoulders calves
legs forearms

i don't like doing back and biceps the same day, that is 2 pulls in the same day,

Thats WHY I do back and biceps the same day. I do know how to limit my biceps involvment in back moves, but you can never eliminate it. Why not capatilize on this and combine the two?

 

[MikeyLikesJuice]

combining the 2 is a mistake, and many people do it. If you do back and biceps the same day you are tiring the biceps quickly. You can have a much better bicep workout on your chest day, as a chest is a push, and the bicep is a pull. Why tire the muscle out more on an exercise, when you can do heavier by doing the oppsite before hand.

no its not a mistake.....i dont do back/bis together havent done that for a long long time.....also there is NO best training split..see what works for you

ultra it is, you are tiring a muscle out

example
if i do chest and triceps on the same day

benching 350 for 8 reps
then going to triceps
180 on pull downs for 8 reps

if i did back and triceps I can do 20lbs more easier so it could be 200 pounds cause my triceps aren't as worn out from a back day then a chest day

many people who have had hard time making their arms grow, switched to this and have much better results, my arms wouldnt grow for sh** till I did this

 

[ultragainz]

yes i know....that might happen to you but like i said there is NO best training split...some people get the best tri workouts when they hit tris with chest.....so see what works for you..i do bis and tris together and i like it...i wouldnt mind trying new things which i will later on

"ultra it is, you are tiring a muscle out "

isnt that the objective of working out a muscle?


now two schools of thought

if you do bi's and back same day bis tire out and you cant work your back like you should

solution do back exercises before specific bi exercises


if you do back one day and bis another day you train bi's basically twice a week so you over train the bis

solution seperate the back and bi workouts as much as you can


now there are other ways to look at it but riddle me this

there are some people out there who grow best on high rep low weight exercises

what ultragainz is saying is unless your mike mentzer come back you should always temper you advice. we have found no absolutes in bodybuilding except that intensity is required to progress

I like to tire my muscle out! Mind you, I'm NOT exhausting my bi's before I give them any direct work. Yes, I can't lift as heavy as I could have if I had not done back first. However, the reduction is slight, the reduction is from working those suckers anyway, and I believe it's how hard you work the muscle, not the specific poundage you pushed.

Besides, I'm much more interested in building my back right now.

Ultragainz said it, there is NO best training split.
