That's two major muscle groups in one day. That's worse than what he was suggesting. You want to do one major and one minor on workout days. Not two majors. That tires out your body more and doesn't let your muscles grow as well.

I usually work out bi's with my back, tri's with my chest. Since, inevitably those muscles are also worked during the same push or pull exercises.

Yeah, there is lots of workout advice that says tri's and chest is best because it works both at the same time, but there's also a lot saying that it's better not to tire them out 2x as much in one workout. I remain on the fence. I switch my workout at times and do chest and tris and then do it other ways, no difference has really been noted.

I suppose if you were having trouble with your arms you could devote a full workout to them. For instance, take out bench and just do tricep extensions, or other similar focused exercises. I just don't see a point unless you really need it. My tri's get plenty of work alternating grips on bench. I'll do one or two other exercises for tri's, but thats it.

I experimented with bi's/tri's on the same day. It just doesn't seem to do it for me. I guess I'm a man of routine . At least when it comes to what I work on different days.

See I cant bring myself to train simultaneous splits.  I have to do full group workouts with 4-6 workouts per group.  Just works for me.

Since I'm still a workout noob, I'm doing everything in one day. Is that bad? If I'm doing muscle groups does that require me to go every day?

Squats and dead lifts both are major back and leg workouts. He is already doing them. So instead that workout is doing 3 muscle groups.

I myself do back and bi, its what I actually did today, but if you are suggesting he adds dead lifts to his leg day it doesn't make sense to me.

Hence why I find it odd.

1/2 pint, with 1 or 2 scoops.

Well a lot of different sources say you do need to be going gym at least 3 times a week. I'd side with them too.

Well I've read (and was told on here) to do back/bi on one day. Chest and tri on another. Which leaves legs and shoulders. So I thought that would be ok.

Yeah, I figured that since I've already done the back, grouping legs and shoulders together seems a logical choice. If it's a retarded one, someone please let me know and tell me why.

Tons of people think they're right when they're really wrong.

Shoulders kinda need their own day just like legs.  There are quite a few muscles in your legs.  IE glutes, hammies, quads, abducters... shoulders have traps, delts, rear delts.

So, doing them both on the same day isn't a good idea? Tomorrow is cardio, then rest day so I figured putting them at the end of the week gives them a bit more rest.

Dunno, I'm new to all this, that's why I ask. And should I do deadlifts on my back day or legs day?

Absolutely. It's hard for me to imagine mixing legs up with any upper workout.

Well I've only got equipment for leg curls, and the rest are free weights. I just bought a barbell with some weights about an hour ago so I can do Romanian squats, until I can afford a squat rack. So I figured doing both legs and shoulders on the same day is ok... is it?

Really it comes down to you, and what works best for ye. You'll quickly be able to determine what is giving you the best results. There is no one plan for anyone, and anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit.

Doing those on the same day is fine as long you are giving them the proper amount of time to repair.. The problem you run into is energy. If you got the time and can maintain the nutrition/energy demands go for it.

Ok, thanks

I figured it would be a hard workout and so putting it at the end of the week was best. I'll do some HIIT on a stationary bike tomorrow followed by abs but I find that doesn't really work my legs and shoulders the same way. And then I have a rest day Sunday. So hopefully two days of weights recovery should be fine. I'll see how I go though, but thanks again for the reply.

Well, I got through my workout. I always find lunges an absolute killer so only did two sets so I didn't go into the third with bad form. Feeling pretty good right now, let's see how I feel in the morning...

I made an adjustment to my calf raises. It's probably been well done before but I hadn't seen it anywhere so I made it up on the spot. Simply stand holding a barbell and then raise up to your toes, hold for a second and lower yourself back down. The seated ones were barely even warming me up. These standing ones gave my calves a good workout.

I do calf raises by standing on a box or off the edge of the step on the assisted pull-up machine and 'hanging' my heels off the back then raising up to tip-toes. Gets better range.

It's really funny what the mind can do to you. I was pressing around 20-22.5kg each side on the Shoulder Press (Machine, because, I like it). And today I was feeling quite motivated.

Had this on my mp3-player:

Listened to the Rocky part, then put on:

Was blasting out 30kg's each side with more/the same reps I usually do 22.5kg's with.

Using a puny set of 5kg dumb bells atm, probably gonna get this

Fuck, VAT rises in January. Need to buy this + 2kg of ON

I've upped my range though, learning new dumb bell exercises and working a bigger variety of muscles now. Traps and Delts specifically
