Chest/Triceps, or Chest/Biceps?

I was thinking that hitting triceps with chest isn't the best idea. I've been doing this for a while, but i notice sometimes my tri's are pretty done from my chest workout...So, i was thinking of maybe doing chest/bicep instead and back/tricep on another day. Does anyone do this? Or, is it better to just kill my tricep with chest? I would think that heavier weight on a different day would be optimal, but i'm not sure...

This is what i'm thinking about doing.

Monday - Chest, Bi

Tuesday- Legs

Wednesday- Back, tri

Thursday- Break

Friday- Shoulders


Or, I was thinking about doing something like this.

Day 1 Chest
Day 2 Back/Shoulders
Day 3 Arms
Day 4 Legs


Which do you think would be better?

Thanks.

Tuesday: quads and bis
Wed: rest
Thurs: Shoulders and lats

Wondering where to start? Confused? This will get you started.

Perfect, thank you.

Although, when should i do deadlifts and squats? Should i really do deadlifts on the same day as chest?

I usually do rack pulls and or T-bars with chest, and Romanian deads on ham-dominant day.

Read this setup: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/tr...ml#post1887929 (Desperately need routine...)

Also on my blog. Got Built? » Baby Got Back

I do deadlifts as a hamstring/glute movement. I think doing deadlifts and then more leg work the next day is not the greatest idea.

i.e. squats on Tuesday and deadlifts on Friday.

But as Built said, check out Baby Got Back for additional details.
