    Chest after back day.

    Anything wrong with doing chest after a back day? Parts of my upper body are sore IE chest and bi's ha. I dont know if I should mess with neighboring muscles.

    You use your lats with pressing movements, so I prefer to do chest before back day myself.

    Do you do a chest/biceps & back/triceps split? If so, it's not the best idea. Your triceps get a good workout when you bench and the biceps get a good workout when you row. If not, you should be fine. Again, if you are, change to a chest/triceps and back/biceps split.

    Just my two cents.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I keep chest/tricep and back/bicep stuff together. Dont't even even feel like I need to do direct arm work while keeping them together, they get worked enough.
