Well, I do not like the first choice because you're training 5 days in a row, too much IMO.
I do not really like the second choice either, I never mix upper and lower body, but at least choice #2 is only 3 work-outs every other day, so that's good. Why not do chest, tri's & shoulders together?
Well since i have a shoulder injury i think that chest and shoulders at the same day will put too much pressure on the shoulder area. I know that my shoulder injury came from bench pressing so i am trying to take it easy for a while thats why i gave shoulders and chest separate days
I like...
Mon - Chest and Tris
Wed - Legs and Shoulder
Fri - Back and Bis

Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.
If you keep doing what you've always done, You'll always get what you have already gotten.


Actually you would be better off doing them on the same day so there is more rest time.
Currently my shoulder work-outs are either with chest or back, and really all I do is light laterals, I do get them sore though!
Personally I don't believe you can train two bodyparts hard enough in the same workout if you are only training once I week. So I'd go with choice one, though I agree with Prince you should have a day off on say Wednesday. Also I wouldn't do Legs last. I'd throw it in the middle and give your upper body some rest that way. Just some thoughts.
I agree with Prince.
But if you wanna train that frequently then do it over 8 days and train every other day:
eg -
day 1: legs
day 3: chest/abs
day 5: back/calves
day 7: shoulders/arms
Rest every other day, train every other day. Failing that then a basic 3 day legs/push/pull always works nicely.

Yep I like that one. I just switched over to an opposing WO that I like too.Originally posted by The_Chicken_Daddy

.....legs/push/pull always works nicely.
(Arms) Bis/Tris/Shoulders
(Legs) Quads/Hams/Calves
(Torso) Chest/Back/Abs
I get really good pumps doing this WO. I stick with the basic composite exercises. 60min per WO.
