Should you do compound muscle groups same day? (Triceps/chest)

SportinStyle · 07-22-2004, 02:12 PM

Or is that over working it? I don't do it like that, mainly because the compound movements from chest carry over onto your triceps also, and I don't want to overtrain.

So should I keep Tri's and Pecs to different days as well as biceps and back?

I will often do bis/tris on the same day because it doesnt take much to finish them off after back/chest. If I do them on the same day, I need to do very little work (4-6 sets max).

I do it for myself. ....did I mention the ladies too???
