1 - chest/bi
2 - legs
3 - shoulders/tris
4 - back/traps

abs worked into days between those lifts, or in addition to those lifts.


*on a side note, notice how some of these workouts have guys doing chest one day and then shoulders the next? Am I wrong, or isn't that not enough rest before hitting the same muscle, meaning that you use your shoulders when doing chest? And how do you guys find time to do back and shoulders in one work out? or chest/tri/shoulders in one workout? that would take me like 2 hours.

interesting to see a lot of guys doing 5x5 or other full body routines. Must be working for some guys. I tried to start an HST program a while back, but I got to impatient and went back to a traditional lifting routine. You guys on 5x5, are you "on", and if not, do you lift the same when you are juicing?

I superset the back and shoulders, and usually end up taking about 15 more min to do my routine.

I have had no problems as of yet working out my shoulders after a chest day. My chest is sore, but this has never taken away from my shoulder or back workout.

babbabue-
i am currently 'on', and plan on keeping with the 5x5 after i come off. The problem i ran into has been starting too low with some of my weights. Added that it has been a week since i started my cycle, my weights have jumped noticeably, and i had to add more than 5lbs this week for the 5x5 to feel anything. I tried to limit how much i added, and decided to just go heavier with the remaining exercises for each body part.
