Thread: what if shoulders done in two days???

why? My opinion, too much shoulder work for within only two workouts.

Day Three
Bi's + Tri's (superset)

Day Four
Legs + Calves

Grouping them like that is fine IMO (and would probably work better, as you are grouping muscles by function), but i wouldn't do presses two days in a row, and i honestly wouldn't do behind the neck presses period.

I came up with this plan because I feel that doing front shoulder press is hitting the upper chest as well

Uh oh....

No man, it hits more of the inner chest. And the outside bicep of course.

Wait I thought it was the inner bicep.... damnit I cant keep them straight I need to write this down.

As I always like to think... If you can do 2 huge muscle groups like back and delts in 1 work out you are either:

1) In the gym tooo long

2) Not doing enough

I would never ever group delts with back or chest IMO.

that doesn't make sense..

do chest/anterior and medial deltoids and hit the posterior with back and traps...plan and simple

I think it's fine to hit rear delts along with back and traps, and front and medials with chest, but not two days in a row put at least one rest between them, and behind the neck presses will also hit medials, so I would not do that on back day.
