don't do legs and chest on the same day
-
how should i organize which days to workout each muscle group? throw some suggestions out there that so i can start redoing my routine. thanks
-
do chest once, legs once, shoulders/bis once, and back once. simple as that. if you hit em hard they only need once a week.
-
although actually, now that i think about it, unless your bis are lagging, you should do bis with chest and tris with shoulders.
-
lying extensins aka skull cruchers. damn thats a crap load of exerise per session. i would it to see how your reacts to it. but whats wrong with doing everything once a week? and going balls to the walls.
-
so should i do chest and tri's on monday, legs on tuesday, shoulders and forearms on thursday, and back and bi's on friday?
-
this is really on you. bc you have to learn what grow best with what.

I was always a natural trainer (no gear) but I do believe in supplements such as creatine,glutamine & whey protein.When I was training (been away for almost 3 yrs due to personal "stuff") I hit one bodypart per day.My routine was as follows:
Monday-Chest
Tuesday-Back
Wednesday-Legs
Thursday-Shoulders
Friday-Biceps & Triceps (yes 2 muscles this day but they are smaller muscle groups)
Abs I would do Mon/Tues & Thurs/Fri but Mon & Thurs was upper abs & Tues & Fri was lower abs.A quite a bit of times i'd place the leg day at the beginning of the week also just for the fact that I hate training legs & great to get them out of the way early in the week :)

thanks to everyone . any other input from others would be useful as well
-
the actual routine and exersizes selections are good just it would be hard doing legs after those other bodyparts. this is the spilt i use.
monday chest tri
tuesday back calves abs
wensday off
thursday traps shoulders bis forearms
friday hams quads calves abs
sat off
sunday off
i like shoulders and bis together cause shoulder dont remotly work them as for chest and bis they used to feel pretty beat i guess from all the tricep work from chest they felt tired.
-
although actually, now that i think about it, unless your bis are lagging, you should do bis with chest and tris with shoulders.
that is exactly whati do
and IMO it works best
i dont relly feel im hiting the tris hard enough when i mix them with chest
