Why not chest, back and tris on same day? Take look at this example..

[bnbhoha]

I'm relatively new to lifting but have been reading magazines and stuff here and there for a while. I've been lifting for a couple of months now and have noticed (and it's no secret) that on chest days, you use the back and triceps a lot. After a chest work out, my triceps and back are semi sore. Lately, the soreness has gone away. But, I figured why not train the back after chest and then complete it w/ a tricep workout?

This way, you don't have to work out/fatigue those muscle as much as you would if you were training them separate, no? I think I can complete all 3 bodyparts in an hour. I'm going to try it this week and wanted to get some input from you vetrans out there.

This is my plan:

Mon: chest, back, triceps

Tues: Biceps, forearms, abs

Wed: Off

Thursday: legs

Friday: Calves, abs

Sat: Off

Sun: Off

You really don't use your back during chest exercises...

Biceps are utilized with most back exercises...

plus, u have no day for shoulders. and without boulder shoulders you arent gonna get anywhere.

Bro, nothing wrong with that. Shoulders also get hit really hard when you do chest and some back work. If you want to do a split like this, go to the women's board, and read a post by realgains about proper training. You will like it

Using DC training I hit chest, delts, triceps, back width, and back thickness all in one workout.

sorry bro but your routine sounds like crap.

back, chest, and triceps on the same day???

no!

how about this one:

mon: chest and either biceps or triceps

tuesday: back and either biceps or triceps

wed: off

thursday: delts and abs

friday: off

sat: legs

sunday: off

i just don't see how you could do a full back workout after chest.

Look at the DC sticky and you'll see.

Poliquin also does chest and back in the same day. Oppossing muscle group supersets are very effective and work very well.

to get a REALLY proper workout, i'd suggest doing either back or chest but adding a smaller muscle like the tris or bi's.

but to do both back and chest in not impossible.

personally, after back or chest i barely have enough juice to finish my bis and/or tris.
