When putting together a program...
While working 2 body parts on a certain day, say for instance chest and biceps, I have always did my 9-10 sets of chest followed by my 7-8 sets of biceps, my question is, is it good/bad to say do 3-4 sets of chest and then a couple sets of biceps then back to chest ect... not supersetting but the full rest between sets......Thanks Mike

Forgive me for asking what is probably a stupid quesiton, but, isn't that a huge number of sets per muscle group? I'd always thought that you should be able to reach muscle failure in no more than 5-6 sets. Or maybe it's just that I'm a wuss. (Don't have to much fun with that statement)

I wouldn't either, its probably better to just finish it off rather than go back and forth. Reason: blood flow, muscle may cool down so there's a risk of injury.
Vai Fan, it depends on the muscle, some only need say 6 total sets like bi's but chest may need more like 9 total sets.Cool

If you are working a larger group of muscles with a smaller group, you want to fatigue the larger muscles first. If not, in this case the negatives on heavy presses are going to be hard to handle.

Thanks guys, I thought I might be screwing up, I experimented while on shoulder/legs day and after I switched from legs to shoulders back to legs again it felt kinda funny, my legs felt a little weaker than they should have at that point....Mike
