I was wondering if this is a good muscle pairing routine
monday chest/biceps
wednesday back/triceps

is this okay? or would you consider my biceps and triceps fatigued from the previous monday workout?
 
o this is just an example of my routine
i do legs friday
shoulders saturday
and i have no problems with these muscle groups

however the ones i just posted are the ones im curious about
wana know if this is interefering with muscle growth or not recovering in time
 
I've been doing biceps after shoulder I find that when my shoulders are worked I'm forced to truly use my biceps when curling

hmmm that sounds good actually
shoulders with biceps do 4-5 shoulders then 2-3 bicep excercises

so maybe
monday chest tris
wed back alone
and saturday shoulders and biceps?

but thats still 2 days after doing back an my bis are dead after a grueling back workout
 
Maybe it's a little too much.You train your triceps 3 times a week this way.Once with back, the second time with chest and the third time with shoulders.
 
Typically it's chest/tri's and back/bi's given the movements. Personally I'm currently running:
Mon: Chest, Tris
Tues: Back, Bi's
Wed: Legs
Thurs: Shoulders, Abs
Fri: Tri, bis superset and alternating back and forth in the exercises.
 
I have done the Chest/Bis, Back/Tris thing, it is actually what I started out with. Then I switched to a chest/tri, back/bi. Then I went to a single muscle group a day/ 6 days a week (which in no way do I recommend, not enough rest time). But a while back I was reading logs on here and on Juggernaut's log he said " If you guys need any assistance in getting big, try Built's BGB routine. It's my bread and butter and I always praise her for the wonder of it. It's an amazing routine for getting me large." So I looked it up on here and I have been sticking to that for a good bit now. (I should actually switch it up some). It didn't seem like I was doing very much in the gym at first, but so far this has been BY FAR the most productive workout plan that I have utilized. You may want to give it a look.:winkfinger:
 
Totally reasonable way of splitting things up. Just make sure if you do shoulder work later it doesn't end up being so anterior dominant, as most people's shoulder workouts tend to be.
 
I really don't understand why people are concentrating so much on their arms.What's the idea of training arms 3 times a week? And also doing more sets,reps (volume in general) for arms and doing half the volume and work for a large muscle group like legs and back.

Big arms alone don't make you look like a bodybuilder.Big back and wide shoulders on the other hand do.

it is ok if you feel you are recuperating fast , you only can answer this question, listen to your body, if you are young i see no problem with that, it is true though that your triceps is being worked 3 times.
your workout does not have to follow days of the week or a preset order, just be smart about it. who said that it has to be a preset program???????
sometimes i do chest /shoulders , then back /biceps, then legs, then triceps, then 2 days rest then start again but with back biceps instead of chest etc..
or i start with chest triceps, then back biceps , then legs, then shoulders then rest, then i start again next week with back instead of chest because my triceps are tired from previous shoulders etc..
AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO A MUSCLE AVOIDING USING ANOTHER WITH IT like you can do shoulders but with no presses so you don't use triceps if you did not rest your triceps enough.
or you can do one muscle a day
your workout does not have to follow days the important is that to give 3 days or more (at least 2) for a given muscle to rest. like i would not do triceps only a day or 2 after chest or shoulders, i would not do back a day after biceps etc...
