YO do any of you guys (and girls) know what the best workout is for my chest and back without hitting my shoulders to much??
This is because i am starting a new 4 day split and have shoulders the day after chest and back.

advice appreciated

I would move my shoulder day. It's going to be hard working chest without any shoulder recruitment.
 
Yep I would move it too, you could do:
Day 1 - Shoulder, triceps
Day 2 - Legs
Day 3 - rest
Day 4 - Chest, Biceps
Day 5 - Back, Calves
Day 6 - rest
Day 7 - rest

That way you hit shoulders hard on Day 1, then on Day 4 the front delts get worked again as assistance with the benching for chest, Day 5 the rear delts get worked as assistance with rows for back.

Sure. If you use bench form that best activates the pecs, you'll be working delts far less, plus it really reduces the stress on the rotators.

Keeping arms bent at 45 degrees, lower the bar to the bottom of the ribcage down near your diaphragm, arch back and get a big stretch at the bottom. Your poundage will drop b/c this form prevents you from recruiting delts nearly as much, but you'll probably notice more gains in your pec size as they're having to do all the work on their own.

day 4 why do bies one day before back?
your back workout would suffer since your bies are already soar.

I personally made the best gains of my life in this split

day1 legs
day2 rest
day3 chest shoulders tries
day4 rest
day5 legs
day6 rest
day7 repeat

that way your hitting everything every 6 days. it worked for me

good point i put my legs and back the wrong way round when i typed that out, my bad.
 
Where is the back and bi's in that split?

I switch up my splits every two months.

D1: chest
D2: back
D3: rest
D4: legs
D5: bi's and tri's
D6: shoulders
D7: rest

After two months I will switch to an 8 day rotation, with reduced number of sets for each workout...

D1: Chest / tri's (reduced number of sets)
D2: Back / bi's (reduced number of sets)
D3: rest
D4: legs
D5: Chest / tri's (reduced number of sets)
D6: back / bi's (reduced number of sets)
D7: shoulders (full workout 45-50 min)
D8: rest

After about two months, I will switch my workout to this split, keeping with the 8 day split and reduced number of sets per workout...


D1: Chest / bi's (reduced number of sets)
D2: Back / tri's (reduced number of sets)
D3: rest
D4: legs
D5: Chest / bii's (reduced number of sets)
D6: back / tri's (reduced number of sets)
D7: shoulders (full workout 45-50 min)
D8: rest

After about two months of this, I will return to the original one body part per week/per workout (with the exception of arms, I work bi's and tri's together). I believe this helps with muscle confusion and bordem. I also switch up the workouts that I do for each muscle group every week in order to hit more muscle fibers.

What do you guys think?
