Bodybuilding.net - Bodybuilding Forum

When reading this forum, i see alot of people splitting their upperbody workout throughout the week, like:
Mon: chest/shoulders
tues: bi/tri

ect...

when i do upper body i do the whole she-bang, every muscle including my abs, then for lower body workout days i do back and legs

Is this wrong/any benifit to splitting upper like this??



/newb question

The people that do that on this forum (with 1 or 2 exceptions) are newbs. It's better to do an upper/lower split like you're doing IMO.

I'd say keep doing what you're doing. Alot of people who post up with the 5 day split style routines should, in reality, be doing a full body workout 3x a week for max benefit. But for some reason it just ain't so.

It's different for everyone...one workout might work well with one person and not be so good for another.Right now my upper body split consists of chest and back/biceps one day and then shoulders/triceps the next.

The reason I split my shoulders and chest is I like to do presses for shoulders, but I find by the time I'm done with my chest, my pressing strength is tapped out (shoulder and/or triceps burnt out?).

Now on those occasions where I do chest with shoulders, I'll do upright rows and lateral raises.

But doing the she-bang in one workout isn't bad though. Especially if you're schedule is tight. It would definitely make it easier to do the entire body 2x in one week.
