    push or chest two times a week?

    ok, my question is i do push day on sunday, is it reasonable to do a WHOLE another push day the same week, or just a chest day.
    And is doing 3 exercise chest workout + HIIT reasonable?
    And is doing HIIT one day after LEG day ok? or will it diminish gains.
    This is my split RIGHT NOW:

    Sunday: push
    mon: legs/abs
    tues: rest
    wed: pull
    thurs: abs/HIIT
    fri/sat: rest

    i want to do chest 2 times a week, is this good?

    sunday: push
    mon:legs/abs
    tues: rest
    wed: chest/hiit
    thurs: pull/ maybe if i can fit, abs
    fri/sat: rest

    Because my biceps are too sore to do 2 pull days a week, and legs i think they get enough slaughtering with one day and a HIIT day, IMO i think my chest needs 2 days a week.
    is it bad though?> i hear alot of people saying chest 2 timesa week is a ok.

    2 times a week is fine if you balance intensity and volume properly, but I think prioritizing your pressing muscles like that is going to lead to you have some seriously shitty posture and a grossly imbalanced and possibly unstable shoulder girdle.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
