Hey guys i want to change my split routine because when i do chest and triceps i have trouble lifting heavier weights when i get to triceps idk why....and when I used to do biceps and triceps i can do them much better and with alot more weight than when i do my tricep workout with chest workout. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what should I do this is my current plan:

Monday- Legs
Tuesday-chest , triceps
Wednesday- Off
Thursday-shoulder traps
Friday-back biceps
Weekends-off
*Every once a month I do drop sets*

Monday
Legs-(Leg curls 3 sets of 8)
(Back leg extensions 3 sets of 8)
(Squats 3 sets of 8)

Tuesday
Chest-(Bench press 3sets of 8)
(Incline Bench 3 sets of 8)
(Push ups 3 sets of 15)
Triceps-(Skull crushers 3 sets of 8)
(Kick backs 3 sets of 8)
(Body weight Dips 3 sets of 15)

Wednesday -----Off

Thursday
Shoulder-(Up right rows 3 sets of 8)
(Military press 3 sets of 8)
(Standing Dumbbell rasies 3 sets of 8)
Traps-(Shrugs 3 sets of 8)

Friday
Back (Back military press for back 3 sets of 8)
(T-bar rows 3 sets of 8)
(Bent over rows 3 sets of 8)
Biceps (21's)
(Biceps Curls against Wall 3 sets of 12)
(Hammer curls 3 sets of 8)

It's not my complete workout plan(sorry short on time). What I what to change is to put biceps & triceps together because that seems to work better for me. However, should I put chest and back together or what do you guys think

i have the same problem as u, do ur triceps with ur back and ur biceps with ur chest. give that a shot for a few weeks and let me know if it works good

I think everyone that does a split like this will have that issue... Its because chest uses triceps as a secondary muscle group and back/bi's.

As said above you can do back/tri's and chest/bi's. give it a few weeks with both and see which you see the most gains from. I personally like the traditional chest/tri, back/bi because you now that you have worked that muscle to its maximum potential.

And sorry i didnt see you want to put arms together. That will also work. I had a chect/back, legs/ab's, shoulders/arms routine that worked great for me but its also only a 3day split... If you want i can post the full routine for you. Although im sure you can figure it out yourself.

Maybe your form is slightly off when your doing chest work and your using more tricep than chest.

Anything you do for chest will most likely involve triceps as a synergist like snapper said. What I find works best for me is that I do biceps, triceps and chest all in one day. But thats just me.

I agree with bigpoppa and mmsnapper, try changing tris for bis and vice-versa!
