Best muscle groups to train together?

My program changes every 8-10 weeks, but currently:

Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Legs
Wednesdays - Shoulders & Abs
Thursdays - Back
Fridays - Biceps & Triceps

It depends on how ur body reacts to a routine. u gotta realise that training is very much a "process of elimation" and "see wat works" thing.

I alternate on what my body likes.

day 1: shoulders (including traps)
day 2: back
day 3: arms
day 4: legs
day 5: chest
day 6&7: rest

the 2 days off gives my chest a chance to heal before i hit shoulders, otherwise on DB shoulder press, my chest streches and hurts.

other options are obviously chest/tri or chest/bi, back/tri or back/bi, legs, and shoulders.

whats nice about the Chest/tri and back/bi, is that the "small muscle", ie: bi and tri, are being worked BEFORE they are directly worked on. (by doing chest or back exercises before targeting the small muscles) you get more of a pump, more of a tear, and in turn, as we all know, more muscle.

I have done back/chest, shoulders, arms, legs, and found that chest and back on one day is tough to train. BUT if you do it right, u walk out the gym feeling like a giant!

i have an old school mentality (from the fact that i was brought up in a body building family) so i tend to stick to old school routines that worked back then.

if its broke, why fix it?

all in all, u gotta do what feels right with your body. many people will give u their opinions (like myself), but its up to u to go thru the "trial and error" phase. the best routine is usually going to be the one that YOU develop with the right amount of research, trial, and experimentation.

thats my 2c.

M - shoulders n bi's - 20 min cardio n abs
T - Tri's n calves - 20 min cardio n abs
W - rest
T - back n hamies - 20 min cardio n abs ( also 3 sets heavy bi's)
f - chest n quads - 20 min cardio n abs ( also 3 sets heavy tri's)
S - rest or cardio if possible with weight training for any lagging body group.
S - rest

swop M T with T F from time to time.

@JR - why chest and shoulder together best ever move ?

Delts already take part in your Chest training. Start with Chest end with all the lateral Raises. Like Dorian Yates said... When he elliminated overhead presses his Delts responded and grew even bigger. Side raises are the most important so do them first. With Front and back to follow.

@JR - what time do you train at bro? if in the evening do you take any sups before w out that result in disturbed sleep?

@Stu - what times do you train at , your train program looks good , i lie
ke to train a muscle group a day found that thats how i stick to the program the best.

was trying mon - legs +calves 20 min cardio, tues chest + tris abs + 20min, wed off + 30 mironing cardio. thurs back and calves + 20min, fri shoulder and bis + 20 min. sat morn 30 min cardio. sun off. went ok but my head fuked out toeard the end of a 12 week mission an the speed wobble just fuked everything.

what do you two think of the above training program

Bud that's a typical 4 day split, there is nothing wrong with that split,most of my guys use that split,with the exercising changing when nessesary,u seem to be looking for something magical on the forum,90% of the guys I work with,who train hard,get excellent results from training with this split.

i am a dreamer hey, just fuking lazy somtimes

do you train tis split

dj - do you train this split and what would you saty my results were like on a scale of 1 to 10

Yes I do. Well u didn't train full sessions,u told me u were never motivated to train,u also said u were to weak by the time the last half of the session came so I don't know,what do u think your results were,did u stick to the diet 110% with this training split?

I also follow a 4 day training split. I train triceps with shoulders and biceps with chest. Is this ok?

Mine looks like this
day1. Chest and biceps
day2: Back
Day3: Legs
Day4: shoulders and triceps

I shuffle the days around now and then. Do abs 2 x per week so its not always with the same muscle group every week.

Is this split fine?

wednesday - off

thursday - chest and bis
friday - legs

Im the same as you then. I like to take 2 days of complete rest. 4 days a week i train twice a day so those 2 rest days come in very handy

i know i stuck to diet about 70 % and. i think my resulta wer egreat considering how little i trained
