Hey guys, i trained my arms, bi's, tri's and forearms all thogether two days ago and my triceps are still a little sore, not much but if i flex i can feel it. Is it still ok to train chest today? Im asuming that i just shouldn't use as much weight.

Thanks

its fine, i would do half reps (chest works more at the bottom, triceps and front delt work more at the top in bench press). there is still dumbbell flyes you could do which i think are a fantastic exersize

Thanks

that is perfectly okay man...

Mygeeto, u think flies are fun??

You can work out your chest, but if you do bench press, you will not be able to be able to push yourself as hard as you can. But flyes, and pull over are completly fine

post ur split so we can see what ur doin bro...

[bbdude]

bench press is the best mass gainer at the chest...

[lil_big_junior]

agreed^^^

and flies are for shaping... (not reshaping ppl^^)
and incline press for the upper pec...

My Split varies from week to week as i have to adjust for my meets (im a track runner) I can't be sore for a race. But this week is spring break and ive done

Mon-Rest
Tues-Legs
Wends-Arms
Thurs-Rest
Fri-Chest + Traps + Leg extensions (a little extra leg work as i will be tapering in the following week)
Sat-Back + Shoulders + Leg Curls + Calf Raises (to finish off my extra leg work)
Sun-Rest

The Extra Leg Work is not supposed to be anything much, im doing low weight, high volume with the extra.

I am considering using this split but i want to switch my leg and arm day to avoid the soreness i felt today, even though it was minor. I am also going to Move traps to my back day and possible put shoulders on their own day, but right now im coming off a bad shoulder (nothing serious, but none the less a shoulder injury) and only want to train it directly with a minimal amount of sets.

I may also move the split a day or two foward or backward after my season is over to fit my schedule betterbu ,t overall i think this is the split i will be using for a while.

Thanks everyone.

By the way i finished my chest workout and did notice a decrease in strength but i didn't push close to my limits, so the workout let me keep my chest in order.

hitting legs heavy at the start of the program can be an advantage, cause heavy leg work increases GH and will make the rest of the days better...
