Push/Pull days or body part training?

**Cresswell** · 06-06-2006, 06:18 AM

Hello,

Im a new comer to the site but have been training for about 2 years now.

My question is...

I currently train body parts rather then do push/pull days. Take my chest day day i would do 4 exercises for chest say Bench Press, Incline Bench, Flys and seated chest press

When i look at push day routines posted on here there is usually only 1 or 2 exercises for each muscle group.

How would I incoroprate all 4 exercises if i have to do other pressing exercises like shoulder press on the same day?
Thanks

Do less sets per exercise, or choose the two best ones and do those two instead of 4.

If you want to do push/pull type routines, try not to focus so much on how many exercises you have per body part, otherwise you start to negate the point of doing push/pull in the first place.

Just do good push exercises rather than X amount for chest, tri, shoulders etc. OH press is primarily a shoulder exercise in bodypart terms, but have you ever tried them after youve blasted your triceps? It doesnt work, take it from me, because OH press also works your triceps. Its a PUSH.

Other than that, you could always do an upper/lower routine, and split the exercises up between upper1 and upper2 in the space of a week.

Push
Flat Bench 4x6-12
Overhead Press 4x6-12
Dips 4x6-12
thats all you gotta do not that chest press bullshit
you might think that theres only 1 exercise for triceps(dips) in that push day but all of those exercises hit the triceps not just extensions as many think, same thing for shoulders and chest

this is what i currently do because I dont like going over 3 sets for any exercise because it gets boring:
Flat Bench- 3 sets
Incline Bench- 3 sets
Overhead Press- 3 sets
Dips- 3 sets
