schedule question

lift2win Posts: 5 Joined: 2002/06/16	2002/07/10, 08:09 PM Hello everyone, I am new to this site and I will have my profile up shortly. In the mean time I have a question regarding my training schedule. I currently have a 5 day workout plan. Day 1 - Chest/triceps. Day 2 - Lower body,forearms. Day 3 - Rest. Day 4 - Back,biceps,shoulders. Day 5 - Rest. My question is; should I instead work my chest,back, and shoulders on Day 1 and work my triceps and biceps on Day 4. ---------------------------- "Pain is weakness leaving the body"

I try not to work major muscle groups on the same day. -------------- "Step over to the Abdominator and I will shout slogan's at you"..McBain
