Anybody do chest and back on consecutive days?

[SoreArms]

Are these a good idea to put on back to back days?

Did back + bi's today, thinking of doing chest and tri's the tomorrow.

 

[Dunk]

I do Chest Tris on Mon

Back and Bis on Tues

And im fuckin jaaaaacked so do whatever you want

 

[theoak01]

I do it but I dont train arms with chest or back anymore,I give them their own day

 

[EnderJE]

I don't train arms anymore. I figured that once I get to benching and rowing 315 and 275; I'll do arms again. So I have awhile to go.

do you do shoulders with arms or do they have their own day?

Dunk, do you find that too taxing on your arms and shoulders (rc's)?

my current routine is

chest/calves
shoulders/back
legs
arms/abs

 

[NJjuice22]

I do it most weeks. I mean they are opposing muscles so I dont see a problem with it. Although if my chest is sore the next day it does take me a few sets for the pain to go away while im doing back.

 

[string_bean00]

mon - chest
tues - back

sometimes vice versa but its almost always one or hte other

legs fri or sat
delts/arm stuff wed or thur or fri

gotta be flexible

A little bit but as long as i dont go super heavy.

I do shoulders by them selves and then give arms there own day on Friday.

hahha...i see like myself you dont do legs.

 

[SoreArms]

this is what I'm planning

Mon -back, bi's
Tues - chest, tri's
Weds - off day
Thurs - legs
Fri - shoulders, wrists, forearms (if they don't feel overworked)
abs 2X per week, calves 2X per week

I want to try and put distance between shoulder day and chest day, chest day really tires my RC's. Also between back (deadlifts) and legs (squats, GM's).

thats a good split. plenty or recuperation time. I do the same split basically only I throw a all arm day in there . Just because im paranoid my arms wont grow unless i hit em 2x week. My shoulders are usually in pain for atleast 2 days after chest so I keep them far apart also.

 

[SoreArms]

I also try to avoid doing chest on Mondays since it seems to be international chest day and it's a bitch to get a bench.

nah buit ive been runnin. I really should start. I used to do Legs but my knees are so bad it sux. even running hurts from both injuries.

[GoldenDelicious]

im normally:

chest tris
back bis
shoulders/calves/forearms
legs
chest tris
back bis

i alternate between heavy/light days for chest tris back bis and alternate predominance on chst vs tris or back vs bis

even as a natty ive had some of my best gains following this regime, so im sure youll be fine

 

[cranny]

One more routine for ya:
mon chest and calves
tues back and abs
wed cardio
thurs shoulders and cardio
fri superset arms
sat legs
sun off, sometimes cardio

 

[KillahBee]

not that bad of a move. mine right now:

Legs/Shldrs (Mon)
Ch/Tris (Tues)
Back/Bi's (Fri)

But I'm not exactly lifting at peak performance here, so this routine is a little "off".

 

[WODIN]

You people workout?

 

[blut wump]

Mon: Heavy Legs and posterior chain
Tue: Light Chest, shoulders, lats

Thu: Light Legs and posterior chain
Fri: Heavy Chest, shoulders, lats

That'll have you overworked in no time.

your work out or the chest and back on consecutive days?

The kangaroo in your sig looks like a stud

 

[DannoMight]

chest and tri's = monday
back and bi's = tuesday
rest = wednesday
shoulders and forearms = thursday
legs = friday
sometimes I'll go in on saturday and do some more arms and calves. I also do abs before every workout. On back and leg days I'll rotate deads and stiff legged deads every week. I won't do both exercises in one week so my body can recover from heavy deads before doin stiff legged deads on leg day.

 

[Lestat]

i've never had a problem doing chest and back on back to back days

 

[AAP]

Sometimes I do chest and back together on the same day. Supersetting from one exercise for Chest to one exercise for Back as I go.

Incline presses/rear pulldowns

etc...
